	Privatisation of British Rail - UK Railways - A Wikia wiki
		"Railway Air Services Limited" was one of the forerunners of British Airways; the railways’ road transport services, which had carried freight, parcels and passengers' luggage to and from railheads, ultimately became part of the National Freight Corporation, but not until 1969.
		As far as the railways were concerned, the government's policy had little effect during the whole period of the Thatcher administration except in relatively small areas, as it was considered that privatising core railway operations would be too difficult.
		It is a common view that the railways had been systematically starved of government investment in the 1980s, as the Thatcher administration openly favoured road transport.
