SO the German Government will own some of our trains and pocket any profits.

If you know this, surely someone in the advisory role, Civil Service or Political, would?
Expediency, though, might be the only consideration?

Progress eh? I thought we won the war?

Yet we now have got to a point where we have bugger all left, everything is being sold off to or owned by foreigners. And the Germans are now running our trains, and without a single shot being fired!

Some who died fighting for this country must be spinning in their graves.
