Silver Posted August 18, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) The British rail system has been mocked by Europeans appearing in an advert pushing for the network to be made public. In the viral video produced by the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) - whose members are striking across the UK today - the franchised structure of the UK's rail network is mercilessly ridiculed. In the clip representatives of "the people" of France, Netherlands and Germany "thank the British people" allowing their "publicly owned rail networks" to "buy up your rail network". In one brutal moment the cast explain: "So when you buy a ticket on Thameslink, Gatwick Express, Grand Central, Chiltern Railways, Merseyside Rail, Scotrail, Greater Anglia, London Midland, DLR, Northern Rail, London Overground, Cross Country, Southern and South Eastern, the profits go to making our railways cheaper." Europe mercilessly mocks UK government for allowing British rail to fund their rail systems (msn.com) Edited August 18, 2022 by Silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
