Ongoing Govermental corporate,lies,greed and the constant need for putting `Profit` before the needs of the public.Dont look for it,its never gonna get any better,just be happy with what youve been lumbered with! The `Old `school will know what I mean?.......So sad really.
Forget about the future increases, the existing fares have been a total rip off for years, not only most expensive in europe but more expensive by far, in some cases 10 times more than equivalent journeys on the continent. I checked some journeys from south east to northern destinations, it turned out you could get cheaper RETURN FLIGHTS to many European destinations and even to USA! Rail bosses gave the arrogant monopolist reply 'People are still buying' Shows their disgusting contempt & greed
How did we lose all this!?.. and why did these good times have to end? So sad..
Watching this was a wonderful trip down memory lane for me.. memories of a railway i worked on, and played on.. thanks for a superb upload - Excellent!
Thanks for this excellent look back at the 'proper' railway when trains were more comfortable and not daubed with silly liveries. This is the railway I knew and worked on. Not forgetting the classic locos. Thanks again for a piece of modern history.

How did we loose it?
Answer...people bought the lie that privatisation would bring costs down due to competition...yeah right!
Anyone know of cheap gas,electricity, water or rail fares recently or if we still build locos or trains?

lots of fumes… I guess they didn't care about the good setting of the engines to get a minimum consumption, then
