Is this the day we take back the TRAINS ?

Reopening the closed lines and stations would relieve the burden on the road network. What's more it would probably cost less to do than the waste of time and money that is HS2

shame corbyn isn't anti brexit

Sorry to say but he can not do both the only way you can re-nationalize the
choo-choo's is through Brezit i am led to believe as if we stay in Europe you
will not be allowed to RE-nationalize.

As with the old lines most have been built on
and would be almost impossible to do

IMO in the area i live the obvious thing to do
when they built the A120 to Stansted was also put in A railway line
from either Colchester or Braintree to Stansted but hey no forsight

Scotland have taken back trains through small towns

They now run form small towns to the borders as well

Through all the old mining towns and they work well

Dutch i think got a contract last time

The Dutch own 60% of Abellio greater Anglia which also own Scotrail/Merseyrail some % or another

Abellio greater Anglia is also 40% owned by Japanese Mitsui

if you follow the money the fat cats of Gremany and Holland own all the trains in the world.apart from the usa.

I think there are 27 fat cats in the world (most live in Germany)who own everything.some guy called Rochchild is one of them.

Is you Dutch ?

you can take a train from brussels to paris to play!!!

Put Corbyn in office and the responsibility of his position will make him rethink ever policy that he ever held that was out of step with the centre.

Such as Brexit for instance, where he did an immediate about turn when the chips were down

He'll nationalise nothing if he were to win the general election.

Dotchinite, how do you imagine renationalisation would make any service currently operated by Southern or AGA worse? I use AGA services daily, it's hard to imagine how someone else could run them more incompetently or inconsiderately.

Oh they could if were in the public sector jet.davison.

Especially when incompetence is rewarded with promotion.
