The Guardian thinks that the renationalisation of the railways under the Great British Railways is likely to result in job losses in the sector, as the government looks to rationalize the back office staff of the train operating companies and streamline regulation of the sector.
Interestingly, this move isn't all happening at once but being done bit by bit as the existing franchise agreements elapse, and the hope is that this will improve the service offered with the railways, once again, being treated as a coherent whole.
