So if you think the privatised rail operators have been a disaster, but are equally concerned that nationalisation might not be the answer to the railways problems, you'll be interested in Go-Op a cooperatively run rial service in the South West which will compete with GWR.

There's many steps to go yet, but this looks like an interesting organisational innovation that offers a different future for UK railways.

Lets hope they can make it work.
