    Our railway system is the most privatised in Europe (it is imposible to say fully) and the most expensive.

    We susidise it more now than we did when it was nationalised.

    People must realise that to keep such a service financially viable to the customer, it is not going to make money. Therefore to suggest that the private sector should continue to run it is a waste of time and our money.

    Even Margaret Thatcher believed it to be a privatisation step too far!

    It makes you realise why so many people oppose the privatisation of other services that are fundemental to the well being and prosperity of our country. In the cases of people getting to work, their well being and protection of their liberties; their is no profit to be made as these things require every penny to go back in.

    Our railway system is an expensive joke and people are profiting from it. This 17 year experiment has proven that the promise of choice and competition to benefit the consumer, can sometimes just be an illusion. You can apply the concepts of Friedman to the sale of sausage rolls (have you ever bought one on a train?!) But some things still prove to be too sacrosanct to the general public to mess with and this proves why.
