BRITAIN'S rail service is forever being criticised for trains running late and for its poor treatment of long suffering travellers. Perhaps conscious of its credibility problem, Railtrack has embarked on a campaign to love bomb the public before its £1.8 billion privatisation.
Share shops are offering investors trips to Euro Disney, a holiday in the Canadian Rockies and even tickets for Eurostar trains and discount vouchers for the more salubrious Orient Express.
The public is also being bombarded by a £5 million television and press campaign in an effort to persuade them that when privatised the trains will run on time.
