M: some people who write to me say this. They say that if you did not have a monopoly, you would not be able to do the things you do. Well, I dont think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers, we have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalized.
W: Do you think that is a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalized?
M: Oh, I think so, yes, because in general, mosts of the transports are all around. Lets face the fact, the car are arrived the cars are here to stay. There is no question about that
W:So whats your saying then? Is it if the railways havent been nationalized, they would simply have disappeared?
M: Oh, I think they would have. They are disappearing fast in America. The French railways lose 1 billion pounds a year, the German railways, 2 billion a year. But you see those governments are preparing to pour the money into the transport system to keep it going
W: So, In a sense, you call between two extremes. On the one hand, they are trying not to lose too much money, and on the other hand, youve got to provide the best service.
M: Yes, you are right
