Without going into politics, I would like to give a statement. Railways in India is a necessity for common people. It is not a luxury for most of the people. It is like Roti, Kapada aur Makaan. Many people rely on our IR for completing their day to day activities. I believe that Government should stop expecting profits from Passenger trains at least (Goods are exempted). Government can give away luxury/high speed trains to be operated by private vendors, but it should not be at the cost of rest of the trains. If a UK style rail system is brought, then it will spell the end of IR and will directly affect millions. The extent to which privatisation can be carried out is going to be very crucial and will decide the fate of IR.
