How is it that privatisation could possibly be cheaper than the Government running it?

Best regards,
Vulcan.

	erm... National Express hasn't been taken over by the Government, they have just taken back control of the east coast mainline franchise. It was announced months ago that the Government would take back the franchise since National Express stated that they paid far too much for the franchise and aren't making any money from it. National Express still have coach/bus services and train services (East Anglia line & C2C)
