The government has placed great emphasis on ‘sorting out the railways’ as a way of showing things can change. And the focus has been on ‘bringing track and train together’ through taking the franchises back in-house.
So far so good. But, as I have pointed out in this column since July’s General Election, that is the start of a process rather than the end. We are supposed to get excited by the creation of Great British Railways, but what will it deliver? A new name and an old logo is what we have so far.

"I have just booked a return flight to Japan for £470, which is 4p per mile compared with the fare for that Manchester standard return of 62p per mile. " These comparisons annoy me. I can find a return fare from Manchester to London for tomorrow, returning at the weekend for £102 in first class[1]. I can also find a fare from London to Tokyo in first class for the same dates £21,777.19 [2]. What's your point? Source: [1] splitmyfare.co.uk [2] ANA / Japan Air Lines
