"Rail Users Are Rich"?

Yes, because only the well-off can still afford to use the railways with any regularity. Or, indeed, once in a blue moon but without having booked months in advance.

And because the railways have been left in place in rich areas, having been taken away from everywhere else by and since Beeching. You can tell Tory areas by the fact that they still have railways. Yes, really. Compare County Durham to Northumberland on one side and North Yorkshire on the other.

By all means sort out the buses, but that is never going to be done by anyone who did not want to sort out the trains, too. To the rest, bus users are even lower than train users. They might get on a train. But they would never get on a bus. Yes, Durham County Council, I do mean you.
