The truth is, we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. This video made me nostalgic, even though I'm from Spain, because we've also lost a lot in our railways.
The problem is separation of infrastructure & operator. The German railways were once they envy of Europe, now that the EU Commission has broken up DB they're a national embarrassment.
Has to be either virgin or ideally a return of the LMS/BR Intercity type TOC, we’ve sold the bottom out of this country the last 50 years and now we the public are paying the price of letting them do it.
What I wouldn't give for br to come back. it was flawed but nowhere near as f*cked as the nonsense system of price gouging middlemen and careless franchises of today.

The day the WCML lost its virginity was a truly sad day 😔
Sussy comment
We need to renationlize the British railways as soon as possible
Privatisation failed the next logical move is just to return to the pre group system or the big 4 railways
GWR and LNER both still exist so maybe we could try
isn't labour planning some renationalisation thing
