Avanti West Coast rail services are set to be nationalised next year, according to the BBC.
The move forms part of a broader plan aimed at improving rail infrastructure, reducing train delays and improving the overall experience for passengers using the route.
Wider rail nationalisation push
The decision follows a pattern of UK rail operators being brought under public ownership in recent years as previous franchise arrangements have ended or been terminated.
Further details on the exact timeline for the transition, funding arrangements or leadership of the nationalised service were not specified in the available report.
