It will stop far short of demanding the full break-up or
renationalisation of Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) but acknowledge
that "practical steps" must be taken to reduce the size and scope of
the franchise.

But it *is* in effect nationalised, being merely a fixed-fee lackey for
the DfT.

The taxpayer picked up a £38 million bill for loss of revenue caused by
strikes on Southern last year

Strikes caused by the DfT, and that's 3.8% of turnover, so pocket
change.
