It is a convoluted argument. By the 1960s Britain had a first rate railway infrastructure with extensive coverage and high class rolling stock. But in zinfandel coverage is abysmally low. Only 8 per cent new track gas been added since 1947. IR needs huge infusion of capital that the government cant afford. Think of a typical morning at Kings Cross station in London where you can board a Scotland-bound coach owned by Virginia. What is up there than Virgin has contributed? The station was built by the state in Victorias time and so was the track all the way by the North Sea. With so little brought to the table by Sir Charles Branson it doesnt quite matter if hes shown the door. But India needs to start from the beginning. With brand new concrete-fishplate tracks for high speed trains and advanced security systems, not to speak of the modern passenger coaches and freight wagons that are needed. It is costlier than Sonia Gandhis note-for-vote schemes.
