Part of the reason the railways are in the state they're is because the whole network was left to rot under government control, and any upgrades in the last 20 years have involved already out of date technology. The reason Continental railway fares are cheaper than ours is that they're even more heavily subsidised than the UK's. Look at the fiasco that HS2 is; do we really want the whole network to be run like that?
