Populism gone mad, it's like Brexit all over again...
Prefer it be buses to be honest as they can reach right into every community up and down the country.
Still on a more serious tone, Labour better not drop it...

This is more like it. Very happy about this news
Yep. No complaints here, very happy to hear that.
Good it needs it.
More or less all in government hands now anyway after the shambles of privatisation.
Cool. We can finally bring off the bench all of the amazing government rail people who didn't want to run the railways previously because they're not capitalist scum.

It’s not that straightforward - what they’ve announced is taking the operating companies under public control but leaving the firms who own the trains (called ROSCOs) in private hands.
The ROSCOs were always the most profitable bit of the privatised railway, so although this will save money vs the current mess it will not be as efficient as one organisation (whether a nationalised entity like BR or a company like SNCF or DB) would be.
That said, once you have a monopoly on the service it would allow them to bully the ROSCOs into giving up by charging them loads for every broken loo, ingested carriage or dirty train.
