Railways to get £8bn investment‏

Network Rail announced half-yearly profits of £299m - more than double the amount it made in the same period last year.

As a public utility I'd like to see every penny of that reinvested, either in the infrastructure or keeping fares down.
There seems to be a massive disconnect between the powerful and powerless. Bankers bonuses are huge, some wages and profits are through the foot yet many people are out of work or stuck in shit jobs with a job market that seems to have ground to a halt
