Labour pledge to renationalise railways within five years

Labour has pledged to renationalise the railways if it wins the next general election, with the shadow transport secretary saying that "today's broken model simply doesn't work".

The party says it will also introduce a new watchdog focusing on passengers, and streamline tickets and timetables.

The government insists the plan will "do nothing" to improve service reliability or affordability.

Meanwhile, passengers at Manchester Piccadilly station expressed frustration with rail services, but little enthusiasm for Labourā€™s plans.
