What happens is that the business continues to make losses...

Is that what happened with British Gas? Or the electricity
generating industry? Or RJB Mining?

Unlike public transport, those aren't loss making industries.

Of course they aren't.
Not now, anyway.

Has privatisation turned any railway into a profit making business?

I dunno.

How about answering in respect of British Gas, the electricity generating
industry and RJB Mining (ne้ The National Coal Board)?

Your original proposition was that privatisation didn't stem the losses. I
have given you three examples where that is clearly untrue, haven't I?
