Hmmm.... First Group (that owns/runs Avanti West Coast, Great Western Railway & South Western Railway) has 'warned' that a Labour Govt (re)nationalisation of the #railways threatens the sustainability of their company... which of course, its meant to, given the range of failings of privatised rail.
However, this warning may be a not to subtle threat of legal action over the transfer of contracts back to the state at their end... there may be some fireworks to come (which Labour must expect?)
