Christian Wolmar crops up a lot as a transport journalist who really knows his stuff, and a rail enthusiast. He sets the record straight on BR, which while very far from perfect, did some things right and was certainly a lot better than the current mess we have. Labour are still committed to bringing rail back into public ownership if they win the election, but so many other pledges have been jettisoned it's hard to know what the next Labour governement will do. they are riding high in the polls at the moment due to the abject failings of the other lot, but I'm still not sure that being better managers than the Tories of the current economy is enough to get the party elected. There are millions like me that need more and want a reason to vote that goes beyond being a bit better than the conservatives at doing conservative things
