I really don't remember them being nationalised, not because I'm too young, just that I wasn't a train user.

Since 1998, I've used trains very frequently and have only really seen improvements in the last 4-5 years. This line was run by GNER, until their parent company ran out of money, then National Express won the franchise, now they've run out of money.

I really hope that whatever happens ... Nationalised or not ... the improvements continue, and the train stations get better as well as the trains.

I might have to look for that or similar programmes ... not that I'm a train spotter or anything ... lol.

I do remember going on a tilting train and feeling sick everytime we went round corners at high speed ... and the 8 hour journey to Great Yarmouth, when I was about 11.
