Automated driving will eventually be compulsory. When the Boomers die off I expect Gen X to already be onboard with the advantages (as the first real Tech generation). Things like traffic lights would no longer be required and Public Transport eradicated. People on here saying "It'll never work" are heads in the sand. It's only going one way. And I'm a skeptic too but want to see better, safer, transport.

It already is. There is no "N.I. pot of money".

How is 3.8% inflation seen as being acceptable by the people of this country?

Don't buy a leasehold.

Evidence?

What numbers are you looking at? I see £7.4Bill coming in and £2.5Bill in costs?

Pretty simple to write into the contract for any train operator to say "you must run a sleeper train service and the ticket price is maximum of £thisprice or you lose the franchise".

Do people know that the income from the train operators doesn't even cover the staff costs for running the railway? Let alone the maintenance, stations etc? All ticket prices are still massively subsidized by the taxpayer. You couldn't make it up.
