I just found this gem in the McNulty report after a discussion on IRC. The three major British political parties are all opposed to railway renationalisation. Now, assuming that everyone in politics has not completely lost their minds (yes, I know, but one partner in any Faustian pact is in the role of Mephistopheles and no-one accused him of being mad), what do they know that I don't?
[It's not increased passenger numbers; they're up 57%, but with real-terms rail fares being up about 75% over the same period.]
