Should the rail network be re-nationalised?

00:00 They're not in an awful state, the railways, in my view, but then that's me as a Brummie

00:05 using local rail. I rarely use, I mean I will travel to London and other places, generally

00:11 find it okay, but I appreciate, I read about and hear about other regions of the country

00:16 where it frankly doesn't sound good enough at all. I'm 100% behind renationalisation

00:22 of the railways. I think the idea that a fairly poorly performing service nevertheless sees

00:28 profits going abroad and other places is madness. Yeah, we need to take it back into public

00:34 ownership. Possibly a good idea. At the moment everything is so split up, it's really hard

00:41 to know what tickets to buy and everything. If it was renationalised, I don't know whether

00:49 there would be improvements or not. It might be more straightforward, but how would we

00:53 hold them to account, I'm not sure. So sorry, I'm undecided.
