True.
But as much as I hated privatisation.
If owning the trains was required. Then sort term contracts would be impossible.
Making what labour is doing now, as expensive as the more right wing keep falsely claiming.
So we sorta have some gratitude that the tories never required the same companies to own the rolling stock as run it. But instead sold it to banks requiring them to rent it.
