  With inflation currently at 2.3%, travelling by train will cost more in real terms. Not in the short term. Eventually, Network Rail and the public sector train operators are likely to become part of a new organisation called Great British Railways. That requires legislation and it is likely to take a couple of years.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the ongoing debate over rail nationalization in the UK, highlighting the differences between public and private rail management. It outlines the historical context of rail privatization in the 1990s under Prime Minister John Major, which aimed to improve efficiency and reduce costs but has since faced criticism for high fares, delays, and poor service quality. Recent calls for renationalization have been fueled by public frustration with these issues, especially after incidents like the 2018 timetable chaos and the financial support given to private rail companies during the COVID-19 crisis. The piece contrasts the UK's system with other European countries where rail services are often publicly owned or heavily regulated, suggesting that nationalization could lead to better integration, lower fares, and more accountability. However, it also notes the arguments against nationalization, including potential loss of innovation, increased bureaucracy, and the financial burden on taxpayers. The article concludes by mentioning that while there's a growing public and political push towards renationalization, the process would be complex and could take years to implement fully.
