<p>In a craze to pseudo-privatize the former single-entity, state-owned railways in Europe, most of them were split up into different entities, One for passenger long distance services, various regional entities for commuter services, for freight services, for right of way and so on. The only effect this has shown is an inflation of the administration, combined with a lack of communication between the different entities. There is a certain rivalry between the entities - in terms of "profitability". This has led to neglect, cut backs on maintenance and postponed modernization investments.</p> <p>When the dear new trains are a little to wide - that´s a rather harmless and only costly issue. The less harmless effects we have seen in Great Britain and Germany in past years - from a total regional breakdown of the rail network to spectacular accidents, killing hundreds of people.</p>
