Shame of VJ day rail chiefs: Fares cynically ramped up for a day 'to cash in' on old heroes travelling to the capital South West Trains withdrew discount offer for fares to London on Saturday Veterans and patriots travelling to mark VJ Day anniversary paid full price Company claimed it was for safety reasons but veterans slammed move Hundreds of former servicemen travelled to capital to mark the event http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3200296/Shame-VJ-day-rail-chiefs-Fares-cynically-ramped-day-cash-old-heroes-travelling-capital.html#ixzz3j1aU5jhT |

The railways were 100% private owned.

Andy you contradicted yourself; you state correctly that British Railways was a nationalized company for half a century (until sold to private businessmen by the Tories) and you also say it was privately owned. Nationalization means state-owned, you must know. |
