I'm completely against the re-privatisation of the East Coast. It is completely ludicrous that this out-of-touch Government are wanting to sell off the line even though it is making them a very healthy £600m profit which can easily be reinvested into improving the already great service further.
I believe that Britain's railways should be re-nationalised as customers are the main priority whereas privately owned firms prefer to prioritise their shareholders by maximising profits to fill their pockets, consequently keeping them happy and therefore encourages them to retain their shares, but this occurs far too often at the expense of customers.
There was a good article about the re-privatisation in today's Journal. The below link leads to an online, shortened-down version of it.
