With many UK rail fares rising well beyond inflation since privatisation in 1993, high customer costs risk damaging rail travel's value proposition as an alternative to the road. Why hasn't private sector competition brought lower fares as some might have expected, and does nationalisation offer the prospect of a clearer and more reasonable fare system?

Train delays consistently rank high on the list of rail travellers' main bugbears and, according to their own figures, in the UK some 60% of delays can be attributed to Network Rail. Contributing to this unhappy statistic are factors including infrastructure faults, trespass, vandalism and cable theft - but arguably the most significant, and potentially the most costly, is the weather.
