Sir

Your leader (9th March) tells us that the government has “ruled out restructuring the [railway] industry to reunite the operators with the track”. You omitted to mention why. The EU does not permit such a re-merger. In fact, the de-merger was forced on us by EU Directive 91/440 in the first place.

We did not elect a sovereign government in 2010. It is merely a puppet of Brussels.
