Rail users in the South West say they will be watching "with interest" to see what changes could be delivered after South Western Railway was renationalised.
SWR was brought into public ownership on Sunday and the Department of Transport is now responsible for it until the Great British Railways is created later in the year.
Bruce Duncan, chair of the Salisbury to Exeter Rail Users Group (SERUG), said "it's really about is there going to be change".
The government has said it plans to renationalise nearly all passenger rail services in England by 2027.
