UK - Rail Nationalisation

We were warned by the Conservative Party that, if elected, the Labour Party would re-nationalise the rail network. The only way to stop this would be to vote Conservative and preserve free enterprise.

Less than two months after the election and one rail firm has been nationalised, seems like the Conservatives were right - oh no, it was the Tories who were elected ;)

Quote:

Troubled rail company Northern is to be brought under government control.

The decision, which will see the firm's franchise stripped from operator Arriva Rail North from 1 March, was taken following years of major disruption.

Personally I think that rail privatisation was horribly botched and the primary concern was ensuring that privatisation couldn't be reversed rather than getting the best railway for users. As such this is good news for rail users.
