Current DfT position seems to be “We’ve nationalised the railway by mistake”.

So, I think this is right - TfL is setting up a publicly owned bus company (tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/tfl-unv...) but recently awarded the London Overground concession to a private company for eight years, while DfT is transferring train operations to publicly-owned DFTO/GBR.

It is the National Trust's AGM soon. Every year I have to find out what/who is being supported by the extremely tedious Restore Trust organisation. Helpfully, they list their resolutions and candidates for Council here (www.restoretrust.org.uk/agm-2026) for the rest of us to avoid.

This is so true. I think it is actually *the* best railway line in Britain (yes even better than that bit near Dawlish, and the Settle-Carlisle). Go when the sun is setting over the Irish Sea. Pure railway magic. Very friendly on board staff too.
