Then they could be run by the Unions and spend 3 weeks out of 4 on strike, and we could have power cuts and.....................................
Or you could have a railway that was decently priced and run for customers rather than shareholders. Where billions are paid to lazy, useless contractors and nobody gets fined when work is;
a) Dangerously incomplete.
b) Ludicrously over budget and over time.
Where you could do maintenance without companies like Virgin sticking their nose in and cancelling it because they want to run trains 24hrs a day. Where the workforce have no morale due to an incompetent board that give it more spin than the dark days of Labour.
British Rail was far from perfect, but the current system is an absolute joke and more public money goes into NR than ever went into BR, not to mention how many fat Tory scumbags made a killing in Privatisation.
