    What is the point of fining a state owned company?

    BBC News - Network Rail in record £53m fine for late trains

    Hmmm?

    Just to look like they're doing something?

    NB: they do this crap in the Netherlands too. ******* pointless.

    It creates jobs.

    There was a similar story last week - Home Office fined by HMRC for paying tax late.

      Oh yes, silly me. A bit like the GDR; 'there is no unemployment in the GDR!'
