One thing I hadn't appreciated was how much of the plan depended on GBRf
drivers, because GTR didn't have enough.
The real mystery is why the government persists with rail privitisation when
its just one disaster after another. You'd think eventually reality would
creep in to their collective conciousness but it would been not. I'm a long
way from being a socialist but this is one of the areas privitisation just
has not worked and it would be better run as a single not for profit
organisation.
Odd then that competition for operating rail services has been spreading
across the EU.
