are you out of your mind? Go look at the books and tell me the massively subsidised, overpriced, delayed system is value for money. Its mental with constant gouging left, right and centre. You're just using the final years of British Rail when it was intentionally being run into the ground as justification for your political view.

The UK STILL has not solved its problem of wrong tracks and seemingly never will, trains are still absurdly expensive compared to cars and the government still ploughs billions of pounds into what is supposed to be a "privatised" system. Its fucked.

Our only future transport hope in this country is automated cars.
