I imagine the current operating companies would be entitled to no compensation at all.

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.
It's pretty controversial if you're old enough to remember what British Rail was like! Strewth, would you really want to go back to filthy trains, underinvestment and inefficiency, not to mention the catering!

In any case, nationalisation of the railways would be against EU rules, so I'd love to know how Mr Corbyn thinks he could pull that off!

Fortunately, we won't need to worry about that as the electorate will never allow this man to have any position of power in this country.
