I think why these these railway arguments annoy me over and over is loads of people just have yes-no answers to everything

"It's privatisation!"
Errr, it's not so clear - private enterprise can help *sometimes*, but can also present problems, it depends what you do and how

"It was all better before!"
Err, yes, some things were perhaps easier, but they were also slower and much more costly

So forgive me if I give your simplistic point a rather blunt answer! 🙂

#Russia railways loading has been dropping since 2022 but this years - the black line at the bottom - has been the worst for years. Railway loading is one of the proxies for general state of economy, especially in Russia whose industry heavily depends on railways. This chart comes from a video[^1] by a Polish railways expert Ryszard Piech.

But then pretty much the same thing is reported by a Russian VChK-OGPU channel which reports 8.6% cargo volumes in April against the last year. The channel report that RZhD (Russian Railways) are going through severe financial problems due to dropping cargo traffic and the short-term perspective is grim, as the company faces massive layoffs.
