In the world of aviation, we see many different approaches, for
example there is the BA way and then there's the Ryanair way.

One gets the feeling there is the Ryanair way and there is the wrong way.
Not unlike the GWR's attitude!

vv Ryanair I totally agree.

vv The GWR I don't

Lets see, started off on the wrong gauge. *Designed a standard range of
locos and then never really developed them, persisted with slip coaches long
after everyone else had given them up. Never embraced electrification in any
shape or form.

Hows that for starters?

Did the GW not own an interest in the Hammersmith and City Electric
Stock at one time?
