UK rail privitisation and franchising

Has the UK's rail privatisation been a success or failure? This clip, taken from the BBC Daily Politics show last year in 2013 gives students a really good example of the pro and con debate of privatisation of the railways - this especially helps with teaching of the F584 OCR Transport Module. The really good thing about this clip is the fact that it also includes quite a bit of detail on franchising. A good plenary to this lesson would be to show the clip from EconPlusDal on privatisation, also attached below.
