From The Independent - SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY COULD LOSE FRANCHISE AFTER £137M LOSS FOLLOWING STRIKES


"The RMT union, which called the December SWR strike, has called for nationalisation of the franchise. RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: “Rather than allowing South Western Railway to collapse into chaos, RMT is demanding that the existing operator is stripped of the franchise with the public sector taking over as soon as possible. “The alternative is Britain’s biggest rail franchise crashing into the buffers with dire consequences for passengers and staff alike.”
