But it was the same Welsh Government that awarded them the contract in the first place! It's only happening because a pandemic collapsed the industry.

That's pretty much what happened before. British Rail was nationalised in 1948 after WWII collapsed the industry. Rebuilding stuff from the ashes is how most industries end up state owned.

'financial engineer'. learn from a real engineer - you're wrong. 99% of what engineers do is invisible, because it consists of making sure things don't go wrong, and that takes a lot of work, and is completely & utterly thankless. I guess you never have your car serviced?
