Competition in the UK railway system isn’t about competition for consumers, but competition for the long-term contracts for operating services. This is a totally valid form of competition and does not mean that a monopoly exists in the sense you seem to think it does.
- jonplackett 7y agoI disagree completely. For a business to be good for customers it needs to be accountable to those customers. These businesses are only accountable to governments and even then only ever X years when the contract comes up for review. Their motivation is therefore to service the government not the customer and the customer suffers.
