Labour has pledged to nationalise the rail network, claiming it has become a ‘symbol of national decline’.
Labour has announced a flagship policy to renationalise the railways if the party wins the general election.
Labour also intends to introduce automatic delay and cancellation refunds, make digital season tickets available on all networks, and make timetables, tickets and fares more integrated. Broadly speaking, Labour believes its plan will bring this approach to the way the railways are operated following years of passenger frustration at poor performance across the network.
He described Labour’s approach as “pointless” and, on a familiar theme, accused the Opposition of pushing “unfunded rail nationalisation”.The Government insists the plan will “do nothing” to improve service reliability or affordability. RMT union general secretary Mick Lynch said Labour’s plans should be a first step to complete renationalisation
The network, which was badly damaged by bombing, was then taken into state control in the aftermath of the Second World War by Clement Attlee’s Labour government.– When and how were the railways privatised in the modern era?
