Railway Nationalisation: Has Labour Proposed Something We Can Finally Agree On? - Calum SR Heaton

After visiting Berlin, for the second time in a year, I am constantly impressed by the history and culture of such a fine nation. Yet, along with the majestic churches and buildings of a bygone imperial empire, it is the public transport system that never fails to impress me. Most Britons have reached the phase that, all a delayed train warrants, is a very English roll of the eyes and a quiet complain to another. Going to Berlin though, and experiencing a highly efficient, on time and cheap method of travel, this expectation, was immediately broken, once I was back in England. I truly realised how terribly overpriced and inefficient the privatised rail network is.
