Like much else that is wrong today, it has its roots in the Thatcher
era. It was assumed that everyone would eventually have cars and the
railways would die out. Today's problems are caused not by malice, but
the unprecedented demand on rail travel, especially to, from and round
London.

Yet the quality and comfort of cars continues to increase.

Certainly, but the pressure on railways round London continues to
increase also. It is more about congestion than the quality of cars.
