Was it really better when everything was nationalised?

This evening there was a piece on TV discussing briefly as to whether things were better when the East Coast Mainline in the UK was under Government control, that kinda got me looking at some of the marketing that went on through the period under nationalisation and I have to say there are some fantastic pieces of marketing from poetry to Jimmy Saville, a selection of which appears underneath.

The Past

British Rail advert

TV advert British Rail 80s Jimmy Savile

British Rail - Intercity - I Can Help - UK Advert

The Recent Past

National Express London Advert 2008

The Future

Intercity Super Express train promotional video

Interesting to note the promo video for the new trains that are to come into service in a few years are remarkably like the old BR colours updated!

So were things really any better? I personally think they were, apart from the state of the tracks. However, that was really the problem with the Government of the day not investing! Take a look at those customer service videos - something sadly lacking today!

After posting Flathead, by The Fratellis, I started to wonder which was my favourite track from the various Ipod/Itunes ads. Which of the soudtracks is your favourite? I'm not sure, all the various ads/music videos are on my blog http://lifeinyorkshire.vox.com/ , I've kinda mixed ads and music videos, so take a look. More info on what soundtrack was for which ad can be found on the wikipedia page at ipod advertising .
