That's how the magazine was when it was just called Network, and was
published by the Railways of Australia Committee. Since then, the group
now includes private operators and, most importantly, the engineering
firms such as Adtranz, Clyde and Goninan. It is now an industry lobby
group and Network Rail is a lobby group publication. There have been
numerous articles condemning restrictive government regulations which
restrict increased rail operation.
