Greetings. From this side of the pond, what I read is somewhat familiar. After 1948 when we took over our rail networks our Goverment found out just how worn out they where. Much money later, we got an operational railway that went a bit faster than yours. Then we cut back on funding... more money to be made from car and fuel taxes thro the 80,s and 90's. Unlike our continental neihbours who invested continuiously. New Goverment, new veiw. Rail important...speeches made. Only no one had bothered to cost how much it was going to cost to replace all the worn out assets from the first time round. Stock being 30- 50 yrs old. So now we have a situation where to save wearing out assets we run smaller trains, slower speeds and less services. It saves money. Upgrades are in the main over buget and late. Seems you are to make the same mistakes as us. You should be aiming for the worlds best. Is,nt that what Americans do? By all means look at cost effective options but for Gods sake don,t permit shutdowns .For once the route has gone, hell will freeze over for you get it back. Anyway who will gain from all this? Are you supposed to walk or reserect the wagon train? Richard of the UK.
