Well, I have to use the buggers and I'll agree they are overcrowded, so the high prices are not suppressing demand enough. People still pay the higher prices, the London commute is still packed, and still the railways lose money.
If you want low prices for off-peak travel or little-used routes you've got it. And there are loads of deals to get people on the trains. But, quite simply, that isn't when people want to use them.
Get rid of the railways, I say. What is the bloody attraction of them these days anyway?
