I love ignorant comments like this - pure comedy gold. Subsidy/Investment has risen over the past 20 years because infrastructure investment has gone through the roof and the number of services and capacity has almost doubled from BR days, and someone has to pay for it. As for these legendary profits, most rail operators make 1-2% if they are lucky, so these shareholder payouts are largely non-existent. The only companies that did well were the rolling stock owners.

@analogueman123456787 yet the number of interested companies has fallen over the past 10 years. Care to share the name of the TOC in question so I can verify your claim?

@chriswalford4161 of course you can - every TOC’s accounts are published online each year through Companies House, just like any other business. People just prefer to make stuff up rather than researching the truth.
