Avanti West Coast, the operator of rail services on the West Coast Main Line between London, the Midlands, northern England and Scotland, will be brought back into public ownership in March. The move forms part of the UK government's wider programme of renationalising failing private rail operators under Great British Railways reform. The announcement is drawing attention from passengers and transport commentators, many of whom have long criticised the operator for delays, cancellations and poor service.
Why now: The government has just confirmed the date for returning one of Britain's most criticised rail operators to public ownership.
