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

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

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.
Report Dr Crippen April 22, 2017 1:43 PM BST
Oh they could if were in the public sector jet.davison.

Especially when incompetence is rewarded with promotion.
