)lieve British Rail chief Peter ker has ambitions to get to itehall as a Member of the -nmons. No doubt cornters who found themselves :ing out another 1 6 per cent Fares last week would happily his campaign committee. They would not be short of wany. Once PP's new rates

Support too is not far off from Freightliners' customers because it seems inevitable that once this unit passes back to BR its charges will be increased. Speculation, say BR?
All right, tell me I'm wrong; better still let them not increase their fares and freight charges and better still let them begin to run at a profit. That's the way to beat the competition, Mr Parker, not by loading their costs or putting them out of business by legislation and then charging what you like.
I wonder if Dick Marsh has a free afternoon once a week?
