My solution would be to take all our railways back into public ownership although I don't expect this view to popular here on AB.
I can't see the point in giving away tens of millions of pounds each year, in taxpayers subsidies, to the shareholders of privately owned but publicly-used infrastructure concerns.
Flipping heck.... we will be privatising water next ( Of...I forgot...that con has already been committed ! )

Abellio run our local rail franchise (Abellio Greater Anglia). I believe that most rail users around here would say that 'the jury is still out' on their level of service but they do seem to have already achieved considerable improvements on what National Express did before them. Further, they seem better at publicly challenging Network Rail about how they manage the infrastructure.
>>>just google "Abellio Greater Anglia" for all sorts of tales of woe from users
There have, indeed, been plenty of problems with rail services around here since Abellio took over but the vast majority of them have actually not been the fault of the train operator.
For example, there have been lots of problems with weekend engineering works over-running, resulting in the start of mainline services being delayed for several hours on Mondays (or, in one case, the entire Monday schedule being cancelled) but that's the fault of Network Rail, not Abellio Greater Anglia.
