The government has begun a nationalization program to bring South Western Railway back into public ownership.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The nationalization programme is a direct response to the service failures experienced by passengers on the network. The government stated that the issues stem from a 'long hangover from privatisation.' The programme aims to utilize public control to deliver public benefit and improve the state of the railway services.

Andy Burnham has previously proposed radical devolution and industrial policy for the UK, suggesting that the government consider a return to public control for privatized utilities.
