Look what has happened here in the UK. Railtrack is fined for poor records &
thats passed onto the TOC's but we have had to wait until an actual accident
was not to be blamed on a driver before anything was done.

Unprivateise the lot. Bring it back under Government control. If it is to be
privateised then there should be no listing on the stock market.

Thats my 2cents (or penny now) worth

PS: Can't wait t get back for some decent trains. Even if it is for only 2
weeks of cityrail & 5 days of Trans Adelaide. OH no... trams YUK! lol
