I live in Scotland, where water has never been privatised but we are next door to Northumberland where the water is owned by a Hong Kong company! So much for Tory patriotism!

How about bringing the government back into public ownership
Is this such a big issue? Of all my monthly outgoings water is by-far the cheapest, and never had an issue with the supply. How-about calling to end the monopoly that is prepayment meters? The poorest are stuck on them, and they offer no chance to switch provider...

A rewrite of an old Beatles song:- If you're waiting for this train You may think the tracks are gone again But they're not We just planned it like that When you're waiting late at night You may think the times are not quite right But they are They just show it like that It doesn't really matter what trains I run What words I say or time of day it is As it's only a Northern Train It doesn't really matter what coaches I use So high the fare or if the air is clear When it's only a Northern Train If you think the timetable Is a little dark and disabled You're correct There's nobody there And I told you there's no train there
reeeeesiiist.....people. resist those railways? errrr it's not like trying to resist a fucking cheeseburger is it

This group may be interested in a post that I posted yesterday in response to an article critical of my ex- Railway colleagues, it’s now more relevant after the statement to Parliament by the fishy “Grayling” www.facebook.com/merseyventure/posts/10214576213512157
In all honesty, Northern passengers have been failed for years before Arriva took over (under Abellio/Serco), the Pacers are awful, at least Arriva have ordered new trains.

How can this be allowed, when we have already had situations where railway lines have had to close because of fires potentially containing acetylene cylinders and propane cylinders? All because Network Rail/Railtrack/BR haven't kept an eye on the businesses that were in the arches. The easiest way to keep an eye on what is happening in the arches is for them to remain in the ownership and control of Network Rail, and for them to do their duty as landlords.
if just the arches are worth one billion then BR was sold very much on the cheap
Who remembers the zealots who think that it was chaotic under BR but apart from the post-1950 decision to build more steam engines and was followed up by the ill-fated Modernisation Plan, there is no such subject. What we have now with a hapless Chris Grayling now in charge is even more chaotic. That's why the only credible alternative is a nationalised rail system.
This is really important - Can someone aside from me post something abnout this on Network Rail's Facebook Page? That's a good place to embarass them AND get the message out to those who are interested. Good luck!! guardian.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx

Watching the all party commission it was suggested by a conservative member that the way is to allow the group who ran it when it was renationalised who made a profit of £200 million. but to not on their own but with private group who will take over the franchise once it’s running properly. It was even mentioned that this could even be Virgin or Stagecoach
I agree with you but the re-use of LNER sits uneasy with me. The line runs substantially in Scotland but of that there is no mention. Perhaps let Scotrail run it and call it the Aberdeen South East Railway - that's almost ARSE.
Correct title should be the London, Eastern & Scottish Railway.

I think the DFT have been out mastered and out manoeuvred. If they had forced virgin stagecoach to keep going this would have left the DfT open to challenge in court. I suspect the lawyers agreed and felt the DfT would lose. Remember that the growth predictions used are the DfTs. On the other hand if DFT won the case and let virgin and stagecoach push the franchise into the ground suffering losses the franchise would fail. Virgin and stagecoach would be in default and unfit to run a franchise so forfeiting all their other franchises and barred from future franchises. There are few players in the market as it is and such tough action would dissuade others. This way the DfT only has one route nationalised rather than two or more. DfT are on the ropes and Branson is laughing at them.
Rationalisation needs to happen but ideally we need a government who agrees with it and wants to make it work. This current government don't agree with it and will do their best to sabotage it.
It’s nationalised yes, but I don’t think this group had much in that decision, sorry 🤷🏼♂️
Not a bad racket sell a natipnalised industry cheap so parasite mp mates make a mint then run it down shpeel a load of bullshit then get the govt to bail it out with Public money
Ooh we're losing money, get us outta here. No not in the west coast, we'll still keep ripping people off there. Thanks government you suckers!!
Peter Smith, this will interest you.
