Sorry to blow your streed cred Brimy but I agree with you :-)

All things being equal  (and that takes a big  "give") then it stands to
reason that a nationalised industry IF run properly and not for the sake of
the unions or any other faction  (for example) can be run more efficiently
and economically.

Its bonkers to see on some stations one companies staff deal with a train on
one platform and another companys staff deal with the other platform  (and
their bosses tell them NOT to help other companies customers - down to
customer satisfaction league tables  I guess)

A public company has to run at a profit (in the longer term) its easy to
re-employ staff at lower wages,lower benefits, no pensions aand fewer staff
working fewer hours whilst the Gov. still hands over huge bundles of dosh -
I don't know of any company that gets into running what was  a state run
organisation without aiming for around a 25% ROC  PA (hospitals included)
Some may think there's nothing wrong in that - I'm not against
entrepreneurship but lets be honest - unlike proper business there is no
risk, no downside
