For current political commentary, see the daily political notes.

Railroads in England cancel a lot of trains. But the ones they cancel before 10pm the night before are omitted from the statistics, so the statistics don't show how bad this really is.
Privatization makes this worse. Instead of government agency, which would obey orders to report more useful figures, these are "private companies" that have "rights" to state their cancellation rate in a way that minimizes it.
The railroad passengers deserve rights, and the railroad workers deserve rights, but there should be no stockholders or executives involved in running trains that "deserve rights" over how the trains run.
