@Perranporth No; in fact the major train operating companies don't advertise at all, only the price-comparison websites. This might be because it's unfeasible, as several different TOCs operate in the same TV region, so (for example) an advert for Southeastern would be seen by people served by Southern and South West Trains too.

I want BR back. I travelled on an intercity service from London-Norwich the other week and it was HORRIFIC. The seats were all broken, and I was lucky to even get one, the toilet hadn't been cleaned since like, the 1800s, I considered First Class, but it would probably be full of people who didn't even have First Class tickets, and I ended up being sat opposite two teenage girls going 'Oh he was like..., and I was like...' throughout the journey.

British Rail...as dead as Sir Jimmy :(

Yes, there's plenty of room to move about on the trains because nobody can afford to use them nowadays. This isn't the age of the train.

I've thought about what you've said maverick and I can actually see your point. I take it all back, having made some fundamental errors in my calculations.
Yes, the train is the much better option, I apologise for trying to get you to believe otherwise.

Thatcher didn't privatise the railways, even she said that she believed it to be too risky and difficult.
BR was privatised by Sir John Major's govenment between 1993 and 1997, long after Lady Thatcher had left Government.
Also, regardless whether it were to stay nationalised or privatised the Train Operator would still have had to have been split from the Infrastructure as that is now required under EU Law (the '1st Railway Package').
