Don’t people remember, or did they never know, the misery that was British Rail?

The timetable was a thing of fiction, carriages were filthy and overcrowded, strikes were a common occurrence and investment was non-existent. A state industry does not have to make a profit or attract customers, so no one cares or bothers.

Far better would be to strip the franchise from Southern Railway and place it elsewhere.
