| Message | Indeed Miss Edie. I do agree that the railways are much better left in private hands. However the Railways Act 2657 still allows private TOCs to co-exist with the national TOC. The national TOC will not monopolise the railways, instead they exist to offer cheap travel in major cities in Rutania, such as Port Nelson. Iain Angel Imperium Party Leader |
