Labour have said they want to renationalise the railways if they get into power, but would that actually make trains better?

00:00 At this moment in time, the state of British transport in general, across the UK and in
00:07 Wales is pretty poor. And people say, use public transport. Yeah, we'd love to. If
00:14 it worked on time, if it came on time.
00:17 Re-nationalisation, my own view is re-nationalisation in itself won't change anything. What we
00:24 need is professional management of the rail industry in Britain, in all its aspects, operating
00:32 trains, looking after the infrastructure.
00:35 Since privatisation, the cost of everything in terms of like the railway services skyrocketed,
00:41 it's incredible. It cost me like nearly £100 just to get across to London, I don't think
00:46 that's right. So yes, I'm absolutely in favour of it being re-nationalised.
00:49 Well, when I remember, because I'm old enough to remember the old railways, I don't think
00:56 it'll be any better whatsoever. I think it'll be just as bad.
