The original entrance to Euston lists the stations that were served in the days of proper trains. trains of decent length, trains run for passengers not shareholders, trains that went where needed not where franchises let them, trains run by one company BRITISH RAILWAYS.

Explain to me how it is cost effective to have umpteen operating companies, each with their own infrastructure, management teams, staff etc each making a profit for the share holders. Train leasing companies also have multiple set ups also making profits for their shareholders and network rail running the track and stations for profit.....there is too many taking too much out of the system strangling growth, investment and operational capability....rant over.
