privatisation can be a good idea in theory, if a company proves they are willing to actually repair the damage already there, otherwise it is simply a waste of time imo

True, this government didn't start privatisation, and I wasn't having a go at any particular government. No government since the 60s has invested the right amount in our railways. So, to a certain extent, they are all to blame.
Having said all that, privatisation can work. Look at the Docklands Light Railway. That is privatised and works brilliantly (most of the time).
