On a side note, back 20 years ago or so in Ireland, the government at the time were big into copying the trend of privatisation of public utilities, and sold off the national telecom company. Unfortunately they not only sold the company but they sold the national infrastructure with it. This came back to bite us when it came to broadband infrastructure, because this privatised company refused to invest for fear of having to share the infrastructure they invested in, with 3rd party companies. We lost 15 years because of it.

Obviously this is sabre rattling by the private rail companies but it might be clarifying to have the government side of the story.
