The railways got privatised in the mid 1990's, I think 1996, but you'll have to check that, as I still remember using Intercity in the mid 1990's.Barrett wrote:So it was the conservatives plan to privatise the raillway?

And i have noticed that the goverment is spending more on trains then then it was with British Rail :roll:
What has transport in this country come to.
1) Delays
2)Train Accidents
3)Dirty Trains
4)Crappy Tracks
The problem was with it that they privatised whilst new trains were being used for old tracks or tracks that weren't designed for new trains, they really should have upgraded the tracks first and then privatised it.
But delays are just common I'm afraid however annoying they can be.
before Virgin Trains took over.
