Sorry, I was very ambiguous but I meant only that the public-run infrastructure was working much better than when that was privately run. Britain's railway network is one of the safest in Europe, and it's a very busy network. I agree the private operators bring nothing. Train tickets are one of the few things that are more expensive in Britain than here in Denmark, and I can't think of anything at all that's better about trains in Britain, other than the more varied scenery. (Advance ticket tomorrow morning London-Manchester, £40, walk-up peak fare £184. 2½ hours, 260km. Advance ticket tomorrow morning Copenhagen-Århus... £38, walk-up peak fare £48. 2¾ hours, 310km by land.)
