"The proposed legislation fails to take into account real practicalities like variances in track size between Member States. In the UK, the high speed networks in St Pancras and Euston also would not match. It would also involve establishing unpopular EU controlled regulatory bodies to enforce the rules. The privatisation of railways in the UK caused many problems and users still suffer from higher prices while operators suffer from delays due to issues regarding track maintenance. This legislation, in effect, would put control of UK rail networks into the hands of Brussels, making services even less accountable to users, despite Brussels arguing the opposite. Whilst it is important that industry is aided by a strong transport network across Europe, Member States should have the freedom to control their own railway networks and work in cooperation with one another."@en1
