Ah, bitterness creeping in, the age old 'haves', & 'have not's'.

These high speed trains, (had they succeeded), would still have pulled a third class carriage so that you too could travel in squaller, (standing room only whilst the 1st class carriages are empty, (you just would have stood for a little less time, (see, a win for the working classes))).

They turned out to be no good, had cost too much, causing the company to go bust rather than the Government giving them yet another useless handout.
