Railway Eye would like to apologise to readers for past stories that may have given the impression that we believed further electrification of the railway to be a good thing.
Headlines such as 'Diesel disaster', 'Moron of the same' and 'Hoon you're an idiot' may also have led readers to believe that procuring additional diesel vehicles for the network was a bad idea.
In light of yet another complete balls up on the West Coast Mainline this morning Railway Eye now acknowledges that Network Rail and it's contractors couldn't be trusted to run a piss up in a brewery, let alone manage the existing wiring on Britain's most expensive railway.
Therefore it also seems highly unlikely that they would be competent enough to preside over an expansion of electrified route miles.
Railway Eye apologises for any confusion previous articles may have caused.
