In Groundhogland Labour is promoting it's rail nationalisation plans. Labour published a video attempting to paint the UK rail network as totally inferior to the national rail networks of other EU states. Corbyn and his minions clearly didn't bother to check anything. Included in the video as superior is Italo and its trains...
Italy has Trenitalia (formerly FS - Ferrovia Dello Stato) ; since it was never privatised it remains a state enterprise. However, Italy has approved private competition...
Italo is the flagship train from Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (NTV), a privately-owned rail operator created to compete with state-owned Trenitalia in Italy. Nicknamed the "Ferrari" train, its bright red exterior, strong branding and plush leather seating meant that Italo launched to much fanfare in 2012.
The Italo fleet consists of modern, high-speed trains that can reach speeds of up to 360 km/h as they travel on Italy’s major intercity routes. Currently, Italo operates three services: Turin-Salerno, Brescia-Naples and Venice-Salerno, with intermediate stops at Milan, Bologna, Florence and Rome among others. The company also operates summer services to Rimini.

From Guido Fawkes:
Corbyn Praises Privatised Railway Company
It’s rail nationalisation day on Labour’s grid, and to get the train rolling Corbyn put out a shiny video comparing the UK’s rail network to Europe’s; where according to the magic grandpa trains are cheaper, better faster and there’s no gravy train for shareholders.
Undermining Corbyn’s messaging, however, was his use of footage of the super-fast Italian train, Italo – the country’s new privately-owned and operated high-speed rail service…
Presumably Corbyn will also be avoiding mentioning UK fares are the second cheapest in Europe when booked in advance and far more frequent. First class fact-checking…

Yes they are newer, but then they don't have an international health service to pay for, do they.

And where Komrad Corbyn is concerned, freedom of movement isn't just for the EU, it's for everyone.
Only Corbyn could make Johnson look so good.
