I'd seen the news on BBC this morning & I'm interested to see what happens, particularly as this is one of the local TOCs operating here in Hastings.
From the outside looking in, the Government running of LNER seems to be working well, so maybe this is the way forward? Certainly, all the Unions quoted in this article think that nationalisation is the way to go (although I think this has always been the case).
