I have to say Dave, I'm no fan of Richard Branson and his scandalous rail charges so I appreciate your concerns on privatisation.On a recent trip to London a return on Virgin was £175; it cost me half that to drive half way to Kettering and get the Midland Mainline Service, including unlimited tube travel.( there has got to be something instrumentally wrong with that!!) I have to admit I am not at present completely up to date with what is going on with education and have only related the issue to my own experience at school.
