There is a HUGE difference between the companies.

Yes Railtrack were Criminally Incompetant.

Anyone remember the Kings Cross fire :-( that was cost cutting creating criminal incompetance also, if they had just paid someone to clean under the esculators .. it would never have happened .
(on a side note, just after kings cross my ex got a job doing the cleaning, he said they would spot a small fire every couple days for the 1st few months, but once they had done every one, all that was required was a quick clean up and they saw none, a shitty job, he was filthy when he got home, and i am unsurprised that tragic event occured with the tales of what they found under them))
