My constant annoyances with the Tory’s fucking up of the railway network in the 60s & 80s continues.
According to the Wikipedia page (admittedly not a great source) the West of England main line used to be double tracks but was reduced to single tracks in the 60s! Un-fucking-believable.
I can understand it would be a pain to expand them now if they’d always been single track, but what was the point of making the lines much worse? I wasted so many hours of my life due to that fucking stupidity. Bastards.
