Avanti West Coast rail services will be brought into public ownership from March, according to the BBC.
The nationalisation is part of a broader plan aimed at improving rail infrastructure, reducing train delays and improving the overall experience for passengers using the West Coast Main Line.
Avanti West Coast has faced sustained criticism in recent years over service reliability, with passengers and campaign groups repeatedly raising concerns about cancellations and delays on routes connecting London with cities including Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow.
Bringing the operator under public ownership follows a wider pattern of rail franchises being transferred to state control in Britain, as part of efforts to overhaul the structure of the rail network and address long-standing performance issues.
Further details on how the transition will be managed, and what specific changes passengers can expect once services come under public ownership in March, were not immediately specified.
