Airily Alastair Darling on the Today programme this morning blamed under-investment in the railway network on the period "following railway privatisation in the 1980s".
Railway privatisation occurred on 1st January 1994. The period after this date is comprised of three years Conservative government and thirteen years Labour government (a Labour government of lies, incompetence and financial squandering). Therefore Mr Darling and his Labour colleagues must accept responsibility for the under-investment.
This was strategic under-investment - Labour wanted to undermine the financial viability of the railway companies so that they would falter and become an easy target for state control.
