Spain built a 385.9 mile high speed train line from Madrid to Barcelona it cost £8.1bn. The UK is still building a 140 mile high speed train line which will cost over £100bn. Who is stealing all the money?

We’re delighted to see @UKLabour commit to plans to bring our railways back into public ownership within the next parliamentary term👏 With all @TransportGovUK's current contracts with private operators set to expire before 2027, they would be mad not to🚆bringbackbritishrail.org/news

Privatisation scam Profits of private firms leasing trains to UK railway trebled. £409.7m dividend paid to shareholders. Profit margins rose to 41.6%. Rail companies got £75bn subsidy in the last decade. We hand out free money, pay sky-high fares. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

Ok this bit is mind blowing. Two and a half hours to cover that much of France. Sitting in a comfy 1st class seat for about £30. Has France a) broken the laws of time & physics or b) invested in infrastructure #TRAIN

Exclusive: leaked slides show senior management at the notoriously shoddy Avanti West Coast describing taxpayer money as “roll-up, roll-up get your free money here” novaramedia.com/2024/01/15/fre…

Ministers handed Avanti millions in bonuses despite soaring delays and cancellations. All the while they were taking passengers and taxpayers for fools. This is exactly why our railways should be run in the interests of passengers, not shareholders. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes… At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh.. It was comfy, it was quiet In hindsight, too good to last…

I am on a train from Milan to Rome. It's the most comfy train I've ever been on, and it's doing 250kmh. Plenty of seats going, reasonable price, nice smart helpful staff, perfect. That's what you can have if your railways are nationalised.
