  This analysis of the disastrous consequences of private ownership of the railways draws extensively on the author's access to the testimonies of those who work on the railways - the train drivers, signal and maintenance workers,as well as station staff and passengers. The run-up to last October's Hatfield disaster and the subsequent and ongoing chaos are examined in detail. This book is also a call for change, primarily from those who know they can deliver a fully restored, publicly owned national railway, above all one which guarantees the safe and reliable service which passengers expect.
