Newer IETs (e.g., Lumo, Avanti) already look good but this looks next level! The livery definitely helps, seats are looking promising...
I don't believe open access operators are under nationalisation plans but just franchises- as Grand Central (as well as Lumo and Hull Trains) are open access, they won't be nationalised.
Basically we'll have a system of nationalised franchises and OA operators
