Margaret Thatcher has not travelled by trains since becoming Prime Minister. She makes no sectet of her hostility to publicly owned transport. The railways are the prime target in a campaign of privatization. Whole areas of the country already lack an access to passenger trains.

By first establishing on clear economic and environmental grounds that a state system is more efficient and equitable, he goes on to outline the consequences of privatization and compares British Rail's Corporate Plan with the alternative strategy sponsored by the rail unions. The history of struggles for decent wages and improved conditions is described, and the effects of the divisions among the unions assessed, issues such as flexible rostering, which has been the subject of intense debate, are expalained aginast the background of a fall in rail-workers' stands of living.
