Sorry to bang on about the BBC Ten O'Clock News, but I'm sure archivists will be surprised to find that last night's edition failed to mark the demise, after 25 years, of the rail franchise system. There was room for not one but two vox pops - one in Bolton, another in pubs around Winchester, and a long plea for emergency funding for professional sport fronted by Dan Roan, another moving piece about victims of the Manchester bombing, and another US Election preview.
There were 1.8 billion rail journeys in the UK in the most recent full year, a figure that has doubled in twenty years.
