Renationalising the railways is a policy that carries support across the political spectrum. It's not a controversial policy in any way. A pretty safe one for Corbyn to advertise, actually.

Yes I did read that part hence my question how much will it cost to renationalise. You assume they will no compensation but that's not the question.Virgin Trains/Stagecoach paid 4.8 billion for the franchise, spent 1.7 billion on trains and x millions on station upgrades. Do you assume they will just hand that across to the government or will the government have to pay for the infrastructure they inherit?
