The Railway's Darkest Hour - Railtrack
Hello again! :D
Returning to the British railway network, we look at the initial period following the privatisation of British Rail in 1994, and the formation of Railtrack, a company that was tasked with operating and maintaining the infrastructure behind the UK's railway system, but due to poor management and a lack of suitable funding, resulted in several fatal train crashes and the near collapse of the entire British rail network.
