Interesting, leaving the source aside that doesn’t substantiate your claim though, only that it could possibly.
GoatandTricycle-
There's a lot of stuff that potentially blocks it like the 4th railway directive.
In theory there are no blocks to the nationalisation but tenders, etc have to be open so the government bids would have to be the best ones but without subsidies.
In reality the UK was probably big enough to do what they wanted though.
