Labour could renationalise the railways, Mary Creagh, the party’s new transport spokesman has said. She has refused to rule out returning the industry to state hands as part of a review into the industry she will start over the next year. Ms Creagh cited the example of European state-owned companies running services in Britain and using the profits to invest in their own network. “If it works as a model for they, why can’t it work as a model for the UK,” she said.
