VTEC

[Guest Lady Penelope]

So for the third time running a private company has fucked up trying to run the East Coast rail franchise. Although marketed as Beardie Rail the VTEC  franchise is 90% owned by Stagecoach. The only outfit that has worked on the east coast was the State own Directly operated Rail that managed to make a £1billion profit between 2007 and 2015. The harsh truth us that rail privatisation has been a costly fiasco. The answer is to take the all of these crummy franchises back under state control.

I bow to your knowledge of this industry.

It just seems we've swapped a state monopoly for a private monopoly, with no real 'competition' in any meaningful sense of the word, to benefit the passengers.

The real irony is that by 1997 British Rail was becoming truly profitable, and would now be returning those profits to the treasury. the privatisation wiped that out at a stroke. Total cost of privatisation so far over 21 years is likely to be at least £200billion.

Another disappointing nom!  I thought this was going to be about Hondas and dickheads who redline the shit out of s2000s till their engine blows up.

If you think our railways have problems, look at the treatment these little jap cunts have had to suffer. Disgraceful.

Fucking disgraceful WVM! I know if my train was due to depart at 5.30, I would certainly plan to take in as much platform ambience as possible and leave boarding until 5.29 and 36, maybe 40 seconds. That Jap driver should be forced to  execute his family with a rusty katana before doing the honourable thing and taking his own life. That'll learn the incompetent little yellow cunt! On a serious note, the fact that this is considered an outrage does demonstrate how efficient their rail services really are.

Our trains think they've done well if they turn up on the right day.

Yes, their brains are located on the underside, just above the first axle. If you lay down with your neck on the rail and your head inside the tracks, you should be able to catch a glimpse as the train passes.

Do you recommend the cess rail or the four foot rail?

Whichever is comfiest.

Japanese trains have the reputation of being very punctual and miserable looking.

To be fair to Lady P (not something i’m often inclined to do)  the privatisation of BR was based on the Amtrak model......a way of siphoning off taxpayers’ money directly into the pockets of rich cunts, Sir Beardy Bollocks Taxdodger being the one we all know about.

As far as I know, and I stand to be corrected, there is no railway system in the world that makes a profit. Railways are a public service and should be treated as such. In this country, at least, our overcrowded urban conurbations cannot function without railways.

Imagine London without the railways and the Tube. The whole place would grind to a halt and look like some 3rd World cunthole (oh!......wait a minute)

Catweazle (and Lady P) don’t have many good ideas but nationalising the railways is definitely one of them.

PS If our wonderful politicians don’t believe the British government should own any part of the railway system how come they are quite happy for the French government to have a piece of the action?

Could it be because they are lying, traitorous cunts who only believe in filling their own pockets?

Surely not.

The Dartmouth Steam Railway makes a profit, not just the French government, what about DB et al?

Unfortunately Luke, blandness and banality are within the rules and therefore Bertie gets to stay. I think someone prompted him to call somebody a nonce once, but I doubt even he would be fucking stupid enough to fall for that again.

And if he's going to bow when apologising, it better not be a shit bow.

Would that be the vast national railway system that runs 4 times a day, in the summer months, and no cunt gets paid? Don’t tell Sir Richard Taxdodger about it for fucks sake. Keep that secret to yourself and Lady P, brainbox.
