go by train i cant afford to ( the victor meldrew column)

[panto andy]

rail fares have seen a sharp increase according to a 2 page report in the daily mirror.

although advance ticket prices have been frozen open return and saver returns have seen prices go through the roof with a GNER london to edinboro return climb to £238.00.

this just makes greedy fat cats like richard branson and stagecoaches brian souter even more mega rich as well as the wine quoffing shareholders in their surrey stockbroker belt homes.

this is not just the labour governments fault but a tory privatisation legacy probably from the good old u. s of a where it may work there but not here in the uk but it is labours fault also for not re nationalising when they came in to power.

the result track and trains that are worn out and as stated in my last column about railways incompitant staff.

how many times must we say it NATIONALISE NOW come back british rail we dropped a clanger.
