Creagh has previously refused to rule out renationalisation of UK
railways, and said the franchising model has led to a fragmented network
which consumers find difficult to navigate. Labour opposed the refranchising of the East coast mainline,
and Creagh said that by pursuing "the franchise model at all costs"
the government's political orthodoxy is holding back the UK. "I think
it's extraordinary that the government is allowing the German, French
and Dutch states to come in and bid for that railway franchise. It's got
no objection to state ownership of our railways as long as it's not UK
state ownership."
