High Court verdict final sad chapter in Railtrack saga - Brake

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Fri 14th Oct 2005

Responding to the High Court ruling today which ruled against the action brought by 49,000 Railtrack private investors, Tom Brake MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary, said: "This is the final sad chapter in the Railtrack saga.

"This decision may leave Railtrack shareholders feeling hard done by, however it is the travelling public who had to suffer a doubling in delays on our railways who were the ones who really suffered from its final breakdown. Ultimately it was right that Railtrack came to the end of the line."
