Some us remember how bad British Rail (and the GPO) was at it's worst.
Even Jimmy Savile used to advertise it on telly, but it provoked one
chap to take legal action against the ASA because the advert bore no
relation to reality.

Good to remember. And there are now absolutely no complaints against BT
who provides a perfect service.
Damn sight better than GPO where all the profits could be ripped out by
politicians to subsidise an overstaffed totally inefficient postal
service. And of course other network providers are available.
As do all the various rail networks.

That would be why there was a mass of complaints from passengers when
they tried to take the franchise away from Virgin Trains.
