    • 2023 March 22, 'Industry Insider', “Restoring Your Railway”, in RAIL, number 979, page 68:
      In this period, road building continued unabated, but change was in the wind as the UK government recognised it had to make more use of the rail network and increase investment on a scale that it could not afford, and which would require private sector participation.
