The franchises dont end during the next term of the government, then there is the train leasing companies to deal with who own the rolling stock, there is the loss of the franchise fee and payback, the increased staff costs by pandering to the rail unions, the promised fare freezes, loss of corporation tax from the TOCs
Don't you DARE try and promote the labour lie that Rail Nationalisation is free.
