Well its taken BRB & NR 10 years to get this far, and its been over a
year since building work actually started for them to do frankly not
very much. I have little confidence the refurbishment of the 2 floors
below will be finished anytime soon.

More reason to make responsibility for track and infrastructure part
of the franchise commitment. D(a)ft and Network Rail together are
worthless.

That's all very well until more than one company runs trains on the
tracks, especially freight companies.

This is hardly a new problem! Join arrangements, running powers,
access charges, there are several solutions.

In those days the companies were vertically integrated. Now they can't even
recognise each other's smart ticketing.
