i think the costs are down to privatisation tbh.

I wouldn't fear them being nationalised..but it would have to be done correctly..which as shown above ..it can be done

Making money from railways has always been hard..hence 1948..and then back again to private hands...eventually people throw hands up in air and have had enough of trying to make coin from it..the difference now though is that due to extortionate fares they making money...if fares had been the same when it were nationalised i'm sure also it would have made money too.

Its not really hard to make money off a product when you charging 3 times what its actually worth,..i think anyone selling anything when multiplying a fair price by 3 would coin it.
