New, cleaner more efficient, reliable, frequent train service.
What's not to like?
The current model where private companies can milk customers and government during good times for their shareholders then quit when times get tough clearly doesn't work.
Are there any alternatives other than public ownership or no train service?
Actually coronavirus has shown that many businesses are not very resilient so perhaps we need an alternative to capitalism and continual financial growth as there should be more to life than making money.
Which mate of Drakeford, will get the job of running it, on £250,000 per year, for a 3 day working week ??
I've told you before about local authority statutory care run by local authorities. Ask for help and they say they haven't the staff to help. Nationalised care via local authorities stinks. I can also tell you about nationalised trains. I used to catch the 06.40 out of Cardiff to Paddington up to 5 days a week. The service was abysmal and only improved when BR were competing for the contract which they eventually lost. I know costs have escalated but use of the trains has increased markedly over the years. However, I think ticketing should be centralised.
As for nationalised electricity power cuts due to industrial action were the order of the day. I remember well cooking a meal and boiling a kettle on a camping stove. Thank gawd those days are over. If you don't remember those days you must be younger than I thought. Just imagine if secondary picketing and workers holding the country to ransom. That's nationalisation for you.
Thatcherite nonsense , stick it up your arse
My mother and father had superb care from the NHS and social services on leaving hospital
6 weeks later they were handed over to private carers who turned up late and couldn't wait to get on to the next job
I used to catch the train before privatisation , the service was far better and more reliable
