Re: Renationalising the railways.

Posted by Suffolk Punch on 27/9/2022, 16:45:35, in reply to "Re: Renationalising the railways."

Yes, the trains are different, that's stating the obvious. But the interiors weren't cleaned from one day to the next and the broken seats were never replaced. My post was to counter Nag's rose tinted memories.

My biggest criticism of BR was the lack of pride and couldn't care less attitude of the unions and staff, which contributed greatly to the other problems. Given the considerable influence of the rail unions today, it wouldn't take long for those old attitudes to resurface.

Whilst I accept that there is a case to be made for renationalisation, I don't think it's the answer to the problems. The way the railways were privatised wasn't thought through properly, and was rushed. What is called for is a wholesale in depth review, if you like, an expansionist "Beeching in reverse" which looks to cover the next 30 years.
