Accurate-Cup5309 on 08/05/2026 18:38 what are we getting out of these nationalisations anyway? The prices arent changing and the service is the same. Other lines have been under our control for years. LNER line for example. There’s been zero change there

mattymattymatty96 on 08/05/2026 18:49 Nationalised but the rolling stock companies stay private. Nationalise the loss making. Keep the profit making part private. Just about sums up neo-liberalism
