    • Network Rail: State owned
    • Scunthorpe works: State recently took emergency action to stop them closing.

    Guess the tender process was challenging on that one.

    …but rightly so. We should be using our steel works to make our train tracks.

        Making any rails? Well we’re constructing a new high speed rail connection, (although downsized) and we’re maintaining the existing network.

        As far as the PM, he has a policy of nationalising the railways. Apart from that I don’t think he’s really taken any position on public Vs private transport.
