Vote Boris, get Corbyn policies

So basically this 'nationalisation' is keeping the private companies running their services and having to make a profit whilst putting a layer on top. Wow, what could go wrong?

Only like much of the rest of the public sector where services are commissioned.

A least there's still a profit motive *somewhere* so it can never be as bad as BR.

Why are you using BR as a benchmark and not the directly comparable operators of last resort which have shit on the private sector owned franchises in punctuality and service?

Those arrangements have delivered improved outcomes (which is supposedly the primary objective) for both passengers and the treasury, particularly on the east coast main line. And then had to do the same all over again because the ideological zeal to return the franchises into private hands at the first opportunity couldn't be resisted.
