As I explained, the fares in this country are high because the government has decided that it is not fair that all taxpayers should fund the required cost of investment and that it should be the rail user who pays for this.
I'm not winding anyone up. Another poster just outlined the pharmaceutical industry as one that suits being a monopoly against all the conventional wisdom. If capitalism is failing in pharma, to the cost of human lives, health and wellbeing, it begs the question where else it is failing?
