Last time the thieving Toraidhe (Gallic - silent "d") got into office they
proceeded to start selling everything that wasn't nailed down, this
includes the national grid and the railways just to name a couple!

I know that in the border area they ripped up the railways with gusto - but
forgot to build a road network to replace them. What a PITA to drive around
there.
