Demand the participation of someone external to the process, then when they (obviously) refuse, claim the whole situation is their fault. Network Rail is not British Rail.
...which very neatly demonstrates the narrative the Government has sucked you in to.

The Government have gone to great lengths over the last few days to stay neutral, I mean I've only heard the £600 per household to fund the railways during the pandemic muttered by whichever government mouthpiece they drag out that day. If they're as external to the process as you say, then why is their involvement mentioned so many times on the Network Rail How we're funded page?

I think we all know the Government could expedite an end to the current dispute if they so wanted with little more than a phonecall.
