I am not sure the country should be making decisions based on what worked or didn't work 50+ years ago, we don't want to be stuck in the past.

I agree though that competition on lines would like make for a better service, but the current system doesn't really have that.
The only good thing about the current service is that bad suppliers can be got rid of and not have their contract renewed. Complacency and militant unionism is what bought this country to it's knees back in the 70's. British Rail new they had a monopoly - hence didnt give a stuff about anything. The Govt cant / couldn't sack British Rail - as they owned them.
I'd me very careful in thinking that Nationalisation is the panacea of all things good - as it isn't.
