| Message | We disagree due to the poor service and inefficiency that nationalisation brings. We would much rather see an entirely private railroad network. |
| Date | 00:29:53, September 03, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the National Railroad and Freight Company Act 2449 |
| Message | We agree with this proposal. A nationalized train operating company will make sure that people do not pay to much money for their train ticket, will make public transport more attractive. I have a question for GSPP, how do you want to let multiple private companies fight each other with just a few tracks. It will be a chaos, people have to get in an other train all the time, paying to much money for their tickets. |
