This might be slightly off topic (as it doesn't concern glorious Albion), but deregulation has left rail in an equally sorry state of affairs in Sweden too. Not very surprisingly it was pushed through, here as in other places, as a means of getting things done in a more cost efficient and reliable manner. Even less surprising is the fact that it made things more expensive and less reliable, as per usual with these sort of things. It's no longer uncommon for trains to be canceled or delayed because of bad weather and/or snow. In loving Sweden, of all places, where snow is very much a thing. It boggles the mind.
