The next Tory government will sell any successful state run enterprise.

Boo. Hate the Lords.
Unelected and not accountable to the people.
Needs urgent reform.
Wait, what?
They did a good thing?
Again?

Unrelated, but I’m entertained that the Independent thinks the bill needs royal ascent. That’s a bit of a climb.

That’s all sorted then. The railways will all work much better in the near future.

Privatize
Sweat the assets and squeeze the juice until it is on its last legs
Return to public ownership and let taxpayers rebuild

Good. First unification, then scrap the entire Byzantine fares “system” in favour of something that isn’t a blatant racket.

They’ll not get rid of the underlying train operators so the problems won’t go away. Hell look at Northern – arguably got worse.
This isn’t anti-bringing them into the public hands, more we should totally cut away the corporation’s that are just going to have all their shares bought by the government

The last thing I associate arms of the state with is efficiency.
I’m not holding my breath that this will make the trains better, definitely a feel good piece for the comrades though.

Now do the same for water, gas and electricity utilities so we can stop the insane bills and total mismanagement.

When are we going to get it right that nationalisation in the UK just always makes things run worse. The amount of times I’ve been late due to the nationalised part of the railway recently. I dread to think what it will be like when the trains are nationalised.
