I think 12h is a big deal, for business travelers it makes the whole trip pointless. And for leasure travelers it means paying for a really expensive sleeping cabin or "sleep" in an uncomfortable seat.

I agree the privatisation was a big mistake, also in healthcare, energy etc.

Privatizing is always a mistake. Profit is waste and theft. Making public services for-profit is inevitably going to turn to shit.
