"The railways'have tho advin- tage of speed and need not exor- else themselves to enhance, this advantage.
In this sentence the chief gen- eral manager of the London and North-Eastern Railway, Sir Ralph Wedwood, has enshrined the prin- ciple on which British railways are, and always have been, manu- ged, writes Lord Monkswell. With the utmost economy of works, he affords the clue to the failure of the railways to provide the public with a service approaching what might have been expectod if n leas narrow and selfish policy had been adopted.
It is not too much to say what the guiding principle of railway managers has always been rather to secure na easy a life as possible than to give first place to the In- terests of the public. They want, to sleep instead and are asleep. still.
Railway managers from the be- ginning should "have recognised that they controlled a machine mighty indeed for the service of mankind but crude and undevelop jed and requiring every sort of im- provement. What they actually did was. and is, to treat the mu- chine as if it were complete and perfect.
As a consequence we are fal- pres in every direction. Some of these have been remelied-usual- ly in the teeth of the most deter- mined passive resistance on the part of the ailway managers; . sonic. have noi.
