Greens Determined To Prove How Dumb They Are

A new report finds rail passengers "face unacceptable continued disruption and uncomfortable journeys." 🚆

Privatisation has not worked, its time to bring the rails back into public hands!




Just a couple of problems with the Green Party’s new campaign. Firstly Network Rail, the owner and infrastructure manager of most of the railway network in Great Britain, is owned by the state. The Department for Transport controls it and it has no shareholders, so reinvests all its income in the railways. Secondly, electrifying the actual rails would be a very bad idea. Most inter-city British trains rely on overhead power lines. Cheaper, safer and less dangerous for wildlife. Dumb campaign, dumb slogan…

as long as we don't go backward to when the nationalised railways were run and owned by the unions .. I say owned in so far what the unions decided went.. regardless of how much the bill was to the tax payer via the government …...in theory I love the idea of government owned utilities[all of them] in real life,,,its not quite as simple...…… when the railways were nationalised last time.. the unions had to much imput.. they didn't agree with any one being sacked.. and consequently.. you would step off the train and thyere would be so many porters available... a very silly situation especially when going to buy a ticket there would be no one available

and if everything including trains are to be run on electricity.. where is this electricity going to come from......trains.. cars.. buses. and every gadget and household white goods all run by electricity..... not a good idea..
the greens need to concentrate on alternate forms of energy.. whicj wont frazzle every wild life creature as they cross the lines.. nor decapitate every passing bird on the overhead wires

With the Greens, there's little danger of moving forward
