ohhhh... bloody brilliant. Not.

- the Tube's been bought out. By a consortium. And as we have seen with National Rail, that really makes for a wondrously cohesive network of trains. And is anyone else amazed that the government's sneaked it out on what's the one day of the year people are least likely to take any notice of the news? And it's fucking Amey and Jarvis as part of it. :snarls: Amey and Jarvis outsource and fuck things up beyond belief, people.

Arghhh, I feel your frustration. They privatised our rail networks (into two different companies for some odd reason). Half the city has one company, half has the other, and it's not even logical. One of the companies just collapsed. The other company doesn't even list the lines it doesn't own on it's maps.

It's nice to know that the Government learns so well from past mistakes.
