In time, we will see how well Virgin runs the line and how well used it is. Only then will we see whether DOR's management of the line was as good as nostalgic lefties have been claiming.

May require customers to pay more, iirc virgin have increased prices twice already, cut staff and messed about with the times you can book a cheaper ticket. Just because things were bad before most of us were born there's no reason nationalisation today has to echo the bad old days.

It shouldn't be a byline.
The leader of the opposition fabricates a situation and outright lies to the nation.
Not spin, not bending the truth. Outright, thought out deception.

It's means nothing in the big scheme of things, what's been done about all the lies told during brexit or the illegal wars liars have led us into but sit down on the floor of a train and all hell breaks loose, Corbyn's a liar, big deal, he's in good company with the rest of them then
