Using your thought direction, the only thing I would change would be to improve the court system to ensure civil cases can be brought cheaply, or that arbitration is available

And for the record, I wouldn't oppose nationalising BTOpenreach on ideological grounds since it's a monolithic piece of infrastructure

I just don't think it'd solve anything

There's a minimum 8 weeks needed between reporting a fault, and it being eligible to take to arbitration and that's about 4 weeks longer than it needs to be

yknow if the gov wanted to nationalise railways, this would be the best time.... when its at its cheapest

close them down

only parasites rely on railways

nah railways are cool

stop subisidies for them

i'll be content then

I quite like the subsidies too

Theyre expensive enough with them let alone without them

Good, the people using the service need to pay for it

It's not fair that car drivers should be subsidising rail

bro

we're gonna have french refugees on our doorstep soon

The problem with the railways right now is that the rail lines are privatised and many lines are for different kinds of trains so you can't do much. that is the argument for nationalising the entire railwas

i don't care if you pick fully private or fully nationalised

but the in the middle state is worse than either or

The only argument is nationalisation. It's either that or One private company controlling the entire thing

I don't think that's fair

you might have only had that, but I'm sure there are people who have an argument on the otherside

you have to understand how the rail infrastructure works to understand why its going to be either the government or one company

no in betweens

jesus

Err, the rail lines are all standardised

if you carry on being a big brain there will be no room left

We have one private company controlling the entire thing

🙄

And I don't care whether it's nationalised or not, provided i'm not subsidising it

It's users should be paying for it

i'm happy to subsidise if it's public

Just as car users should be paying for the road network

not if it's private

Okay bois, let me try to get some sense from you guys here. How many different types of trains run in the UK? and Do they all use one standardised rail lines?

Well it's private and you're subsidising it

yes, i said that earlier

i'm happy with fully private or fully public

There is one standardise rail line. Some lines are electrified, some not
