As Labour pledges to renationalise railways within five years if elected, Nick Ferrari speaks to General Secretary of the RMT Union, Mick Lynch, to discuss the plans.
Labour says it will do this by bringing passenger services into public control as the contracts expire, but has stressed there will still be a role for the private sector.
Other railway pledges include automatic refunds for train delays and improving internet connections.
Speaking on whether renationalising railways would make industrial action less likely, Lynch tells Nick: 'What we've got at the moment is an assault on people's terms and conditions.
'We can get rid of all this nonsense and get a railway that's run to the needs of the public.'
