Maybe that's why your train ticket is so expensive…

@allthepies, that’s only the direct subsidies, it doesn’t include the indirect subsidy via the network grant. The University of Manchester/CRESC report on the subject is arguably biased but it’s still a good read.

@molgrips- the ORR and DfT publish pretty complete data. It’s pretty impenetrable so we’ve pretty much got to rely on expert interpretation and reporting.

Don’t you work for university admissions or something?

Yeah, I just like numbers and choo choos.

I should really get a job with Network Rail, it’d suit me.
