JOKE of the day
--------------------------
Network Rail has unveiled a massive
rise in half-year pre-tax losses - to
£233m ($398m) from £3m.
The not-for-profit company recorded an
operating loss of £95m which was mainly
due to the increased cost of
maintenance and track renewal.
But Network Rail, which took over from
private firm Railtrack last year, said
its performance was improving.
Some 82.2% of trains were running on
time, compared with 81.8% in the first
half of 2002, the firm said.
Trains running on time ? I thought that was an Operators issue.
Don't tell me they have been getting stick and it was down to Network Rail all the time.
Or are they just spinning ?
