alternatively we could try and produce those hover-boards from Back to The Future!
no scope for improvement? look at the following companies
Virgin - bought all new rolling stock and increased their services and passanger loading
GNER - renting eurostar trains for cross country work, big increase in passanger loading
First Transpennine Express - having 2 brand new depots built at York and Manchester, AND have just placed an order for 45 brand new trains
Northern Rail - increased services around rural branch lines and increased capacity on local commuter services at peak times.
and then theres other companies that i aint a clue about, but don't tar all TOC's with the same brush as they are all wanting to increase services and capacity, and nearly all of them are doing it as we speak.
