A lot and nothing. Kind of makes the government less liable for the shit show that occurs from. Trains late? No longer a government issue, complain to the ticket guard. Those new rail upgrades, carriage upgrades? Only if the owner wants them. Price increases? You betcha. Political bias, the Horizon scandal is a good one. How long did it drag on for? And did anyone get charged? The ones who should-of got off scot-free and the innocent had their lives ruined. If the electing company wants to milk the infrastructure you'll going to have a bad time. Else wise it does enable progressively improvements that wouldn't necessary be prioritised under government control. We know companies don't like spending money so forget those. In other-words privatisation is not inherently bad when kept in check. It has its advantages ultimately though where its public infrastructure it should really be owned by the people. Our "Royal Mail" was privatised and has been bought yet again by a Czech billionaire recently.
