The only way would be to not renew each franchise when it runs out. But if we did that the companies wouldn't invest any money between now and then.

HMG government already own a lot of the rolling stock and they lease it to the train companies. Why do you think Virgin didn't bitch about Arriva X-country getting "their" trains?
