      This is definitely my favourite thing this government is doing, we need more public ownership! Privatisation is a failed experiment!

      Excellent. Absolutely great news.

      Can’t wait for the doom and gloom team to arrive to inform us this is actually bad somehow.

      Not sure why people see returning the railways into public ownership as such a positive, while it’s true that LNER delivers great value for its customers trans Pennine express which is another government owned operator still does pretty poorly.
      Meanwhile, when virgin was running the West Coast main line the service was excellent but when another private company Avanti took it over, it immediately got worse.
      I think a lot of the reasons people criticise private train companies like not having enough rolling stock or overcrowding is ultimately due to the department for transport managing the railways in such a heavy-handed way and given the government is in such a cost-cutting mood and could easily get spooked by the lack of growth in the UK economy, is it really such a stretch to think that they might decide to bin off some services to save some cash in the short term?

      Now increase road taxes to subsidise rail journeys. It’s mental that we don’t do more to discourage car usage.

      Govia Thameslink which runs Thameslink, Great Northern, and Southern Trains has been under a management contract for many years, with the government setting the timetables, the rolling stock, the ticket prices, everything.

      The service has been crap under the government management contract and realistically I can’t see any reason why it will change.

      Wish Thameslink’s date was yesterday. Take it over and put the current management team on toilet emptying duty forever.

      Until we own and build cheap rolling stock in the UK, it won’t get better.
