I mean, considering they're wholly owned by the German Government, I wouldn't disagree with you there!

The issue is DB aren't investing in Arriva, the seem to be doing the usual tactic of sucking as much money out of them as possible to then dump them on someone else when there isn't anything else to gain from them.

It's all well and good having a basically infinite pot of money but if they aren't willing to spend it, the only way is down.

Plus, just because the parent company is in a relatively good financial position doesn't mean Arriva can't go tits up
