It should never have been privatised. Privatising it just costs more money to maintain.
1.The companies are there to make a profit before anything! That's what businesses exist for!
2. Before they can make any improvement to rail services, they need to make a lot of profit before they spend any 'limited' surplus revenue they have.
3. Private companies couldn't give a crap about you,staff or how comfortable your journey was, the only thing they worry about is if you've paid. They are that greedy, they made it so difficult to allow Oyster cards and TFL passes in London to be used on there services, TFL pays them a fixed fee every year for this, the private companies rather users pay an extra premium to use there services.
The rail network was only privatised along with most other public services to make a quick buck for the conservatives, well they are not going to use rail services, so why would they care?

Trusting the Conservative government to run public transport or anything with the word public is like trusting theif with your bank pin number
They don't have a clue about the UK or about life in general, there on a different planet to society and I just can't wait till they get voted out!
