We the people are fed up… sick and tired… and angry at the blatant disregard for what is a vital peaces of, not only economy driving infrastructure but also what made Briton a leader in engineering world… I’m taking about British railways. Disunited, expensive and overcrowded, are once proud railways have been the butt of many jokes, for many years but now as prices reach an all time high we must sit up and say “No more”. As tax payers we pay more then another country to run the network millions depend upon every day… I say twice, because as Sir Roy McNulty’s report shows, government subsidy (tax payers money) has increased in real terms as prices have increased and the dividends of the train operators has increased… at the same time the British network is 30% less efficient than publicly controlled European peers and three times more expensive. So I, and hundreds more are calling for the return of a State own network, ‘British Rail’. BR failed because the governments of the day ran it into the ground, in favour of the car, but as rail passenger numbers increase, and calls for the reopening of closed lines grows action must be taken. The cost would be huge, but it will cost the economy far more in the long term if we allow greedy privet companies to own the network that we use everyday.
