The Telegraph is today reporting that Govia Thameslink Railway could be nationalised.

The biggest train operator in Britain is racing to avoid nationalisation as it struggles to overcome accounting failures in time to renew its contract.

Although ministers are keen to secure a renewal, nationalisation is being considered as a last resort. Another option is believed to be extending an emergency funding deal designed to keep services running during the pandemic.

A spokesman for Go-Ahead said: "We are in discussions with the Department for Transport about a new contract to run Govia Thameslink."

Doesn't that story also suggest that there are hopes it won't be nationalised - eg the current contract will be extended?
