I spent a decade on the rail-ways, which sounds like a folk-song, and I saw
with experiential horror how the system was degraded year by year. But that
alack is the measure of all Brit public life, less and less is the par for
more and more.
And I'm sure that applies elsewhere too.
Oh woesomeness of it all!
Best
Dave
