I think it depends on where you are going. My local commuter link into London is OK and reliable, if expensive.
Long range trains from, say, London to Manchester are often overcrowded and ridiculously priced.

Season ticket prices are under 20p/mile into London
Nationalisation will likely break this and increase costs for all but the richest. For the last decade the public have been clamouring for “simplification” because they couldn’t understand the restriction codes. Now it’s being rolled out they are of course seeing price rises and complaining “not like that!”
False, as per my other comment
I agree with your other points though
