Thats Jack's socialist 'solution'..taxpayer money--a never ending flow of it to pay for govt inefficiency.-Yes the rail lines in the UK,according to Jack, cover operating costs.With UK taxpayer money..
And Jack is fine with that as long as he's not bearing the brunt of it.

How sad that there are still those whose right wing dogma means they know the cost of everything, and the value of nothing.
A well run, efficient railway represents huge value to the GDP of any country - far more than the costs of subsidy.
And if you want examples, try Germany, Japan, in fact most of Europe.
Getting your workers to work on time and freight to where it needs to be (and keeping it off crowded roads) counts for a lot. And keeping prices affordable counts for a lot more. Those advantages certainly outweigh subsidies.

So you’re happy to kick in extra taxes out of your pay packet so that rail users can pay lower fares?
