An interesting fact highlighted here.
Why has the EU laid down rules regarding the operation of our domestic arrangements for rail travel? I could almost see the point of such regulations on mainland Europe, were it not for the fact that 19th Century engineers managed to get on quite well enough without them, building railways lines from Paris to Istanbul, Berlin, Moscow, etc etc etc...
(For the record: We will pay £4.1 billion net to the EU in the period 2007-8, £6.1 billion net in 2008-09, and £6.4 billion in 2009-10.)
