Railtalk
Go to a conference on railway investment, read Network Rail’s business plan, or just listen to a ministerial speech and it is a fair bet that sooner or later you will hear that some aspect of enhancement or renewal is unaffordable. For example, Network Rail Chairman Sir Peter Hendy livened up this year’s George Bradshaw address with some illustrations from the 1972 Ladybird book about people working on the railway.
