Renationalise and reintegrate track with trains with rolling stock provision. The biggest wastes of money in the industry are the franchise bidding process, leasing costs and compensation claims paid between Network Rail and the franchisees when one causes problems for the other.

Would agree

To add some sort of joined up thinking between TOCs, Rosco's, and infrastructure is needed (ideally through nationalistion). Atm, basic things like application of traction held are a massive ballache because all three have to organise and agree amongst themselves.

In realms of fascination, wondrous gleams,
Resides a mind, attuned to vibrant trains.
With passion's fire, a love that brightly beams,
Autistic spirit thrives, where knowledge reigns.

The rhythm of the tracks, a joyful beat,
As timetables are etched in memory's keep.
Each train and bus, a tale that's bittersweet,
Unveiling worlds, in journeys vast and deep.

In vivid focus, details come alive,
From engine's hum to tracks' melodic sway.
With dedication, schedules they revive,
A symphony of routes, both night and day.

Autism's embrace, a gateway to explore,
Trains and timetables, forevermore.

"Great British Railways" intends to implement the recommendations of the Grant-Schapps report, but stops short of full renationalisation (which the Conservative government are trying their hardest to rule out). By all accounts the government seems to have lost interest in actually going ahead with "Great British Railways" and the GBR "transition team" have produced very little other than buzzword-laden LinkedIn posts.
