    The rail regulator has an OpCo of last resort to bung failing TOC's into.
    Just set one up for the entire country.
    Bung Thames Water into it.
    Oh hold on we had UKFI and now UKGI....

      Expecting Labour to re-nationalise might take a while as from what I have read Starmer isn't too keen.

      That election manifesto from Labour is going to be an interesting read.

      He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

        How are the mighty fallen & all that.

        Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

        Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

        The lone and level rivers of tulipe stretch far away.
        When the fun stops, STOP.

          From the river to the sea,
          Sewage is all we see,
          Thanks to the Tories,
          Thatcher's legacy.



          On the first day of Christmas, Thames Water sent to me
          tidings of a sewage spill at Witney
          etc

          On the eleventh day of Christmas,
          Thames Water sent to me
          plant life declining,
          fishes gender-bending,
          aquatic insects dying,
          slimy fungus forming,
          seven swimmers vomming,
          river birds abating,
          five pads with wings,
          four floating turds,
          countless pathogens,
          microplastic sludge
          and another sewage spill at Witney

          On the twelfth day of Christmas, Thames Water sent to me...
          - nothing more -
          - the spills went on for just eleven days of Christmas
