"Got a good name though:
'Great British Railways'.
 "
I bet that won't ever come back to haunt them.
Some punctuation and sarcasm will give you "Great,British Railways!" |

"Its not pure Nationalisation as you would know it.
Still a high degree of private operation in the proposals. "
It’s basically going to be run much like London overground operates in the capital
Government runs the infrastructure, sets timetable and fares… tocs operate the trains under a fixed contract with bonuses for better and improved services |

I would like to travel by rail a lot more. But the truth is it's just so much cheaper by car (in some cases more than a £100 cheaper). Let's hope the flexible tickets 'level-up' the costs. |

I bet they will "level up" the costs. Probably add another 25% to the cost. |

"All the rail services are still privately run - this is ticketing and timetabling, track and stations.
They are creating a central organisational structure."

Would be good to use rail more if costs are reasonable, more bums on seats |

Hope it improves things for the users. I was quite shocked to hear the price differences between using trains in London and in the north. If it works well it helps towards the levelling up |

It is quite shocking the differences. We have a Niece that lives in Berlin, and she says that mostly you can rely on reasonable pricing - late trains and strikes and broken networks however are no different than here. |

its the capitalist socialist party but kier hasnt thought of it yet, its begging to be grabbed with both hands, does away with sitting on a fence, you can land either side and still claim to be following your election pledges!

Once again you fail to see the proposal and take a simplistic view so you can make a random comment that bears no relation to the truth.  |

They are different things. Labour wanted to 'completely renationalise' the rail network.
As far as I'm aware the Conservatives plan to 'renationalise parts' of the rail network.
Socialism working alongside capitalism. It really could catch on  |

"Jeremy does like to wear a cap, put a BR badge on the front and instant station master... but is he upto the job?
Could fill all the posts with ex labour council members.....?
"
And now I'm right in the middle of Alton Towers - 'Choo Chooooo'.
