If only they'd thought of that in 1997. What cretin wrote their

Well, they succeeded with the groundwork by shafting Railtrack by
refusing it funds and then setting up Network Rail by giving 20 times as

They didn't "set it up", they renamed it (Network Rail Infrastructure
Ltd. previously known as Railtrack plc) on 3 Feb 2003.
