The UK's Railways Act 1993, enacted by the Major Conservative government, broke up British Rail by 1 April 1997 into a track-and-infrastructure operator (Railtrack, listed 1996), 25 train-operating franchises tendered for fixed terms, three rolling-stock leasing companies (ROSCOs), freight operators, and a Strategic Rail Authority. The intended effect was to introduce private capital and competitive pressure into Britain's nationalised railway, transfer financial risk to private operators, and reduce direct public-sector subsidy — completing the privatisation programme begun with Telecom (1984) and energy utilities (1986-91).
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
