| I have to say that as a lifelong Tory voter, the privatisation of train operations has been an absolute disaster. Increased public subsidy for virtually no benefit to the travelling public and a regulator not worthy of the name. Whoever thought that fragmenting the service into 27 operating companies and then placing the infrastructure into the hands of Railtrack (now Network Rail) was a good idea was definitely smoking something extraordinary. London Buses (a virtual private company for years) however have never been better locally with far improved frequency and reliability. What screws up the buses are the constant roadworks and the dreadful timing of lights at many junctions. |
