I regretfully don't think JC is going to succeed albeit I wish he will. They are certainly worthwhile aspirations.
In some ways, the railways is already mostly public owned. The Post Office works reasonably well like it is, not worth giving it a priority. The water companies are expensive to buy back and not a priority.
I reckon JC will take back the rail franchises but if he messes with tax too much or too quickly, it may cause house price to crash, the banks will crash with that, this country will be in deep troubles, up to the neck in debts and all the family silvers have already been sold off to foreigners.
The railways are the most important thing, at the moment they are an expensive often foreign owned disaster and getting worse all the time.
I don't agree on water, what is going on is a disgrace. Thames Water for example is foreign owned and runs as layered companies. Each function from raw water extraction through to final sewage disposal is assigned a company. Each reports on it's activity and takes a profit before passing on to the next company. It's been reported that there are
SEVEN of these internal companies, each taking a slice, but all within Thames Water, making it just a way of mounting up an oversize profit total, an accounting fiddle.
Their operational record is terrible with constant often very large fines in multiple courts for almost every possible offence that a water company can commit. This includes a possible 1 billion € fine for the UK government by the EU in consequence of Thames Water's failings.
Between them Water and Rail are pouring money out of the UK into other countries where most of the assets and profits are owned. Nationalising them will save money in the not too distant future.
