The socialists are cheering this. The people who re-nationalised the failing railways are the same people who nationalised the network in a misguided move. Your ignorance should mean that you should keep quite on issues of which you are. ignorant.the free market didnt fail,,, your socialist leaders took advantage of the situation and took over a private companyGovernment suspends rail franchise system after passengers plummet
Rail passenger numbers have collapsed in the wake of coronaviruswww.investorschronicle.co.uk
The UK government has suspended rail franchise agreements for six months and agreed to assume all revenue and cost risk posed to operators, after railways experienced a 70 per cent drop in passenger numbers following the advent of coronavirus.
They called Corbyn a commie for proposing this during the election and now here we are. This is initially for 6 months but they will likely find that corporations will be reluctant to return to this industry when things get back to normal.
The railways are an essential service and the private companies have always been backed by government money. Time to rip up the facade and run the network for the benefit of the country.
no ignorance on my part,,,you OP clearly shows they took advantage of the current situation ,,,,
