Most of Great Britain’s major rail operators are back in public hands – is it working?

It’s not the fairest assessment - It has delays as “trains more than three minutes late”. Not ideal, especially when you’re changing trains, but 3 minutes rarely makes a difference, compared to the 10/20/30/40 minutes late ones.

A few years back, when working in places “two trains away”, I was getting trains 10-20 minutes late every day, which normally meant missing the connection.

By my own experience, Northern and Transpennine have had fewer cancellations and fewer noticeably latest.

However, Northern are still shit at sending a two-carriage Sprinter as a commuter train that needs 3-4 carriages for everyone waiting to actually get on.
