I wouldn't vote labour (or tories) if I was eligible, but this alone feels like a no-brainer. My most recent experiences there was just abominable. I remember booking, well in advance, every single train for the entire vacation. NOT A SINGLE ONE of them functioned as planned, and I didn't get in a reserved seat ONCE.

One had our carriage closed due to a squeaky window or some shit. Another just 'lost' the reservation data so every seat was every man for himself. Another randomly changed platform so fast that by the time I got up the stairs with two heavy suitcases to get to the right place, it had already departed (I'm talking seconds)... like... wtf.

Oh, and rail strikes cancelled the rest. Glorious.

That being said, I think there's a bit of a misconception, in that most(?) are already nationalised. Scotland, N. Ireland and Wales for sure, but also LNER, Northern Rail and others are state owned. And I'll have to read up as to how it will actually benefit. I get how in principle, but somebody must have run the actual numbers to see if it's going to be viable at all, or if it's just a buzz-policy to get more votes.

Always skeptical...
