Rail nationalisation was never enough w/ Gareth Dennis

September 10, 2025 • Season 5 • Episode 3

One thing you can say about the Labour Party, is that they stuck by their promise to renationalise the rail system. Or did they?

To discuss everything that's right and wrong about Britain's railways Andrew is joined by Gareth Dennis. Gareth is a rail engineer and author of HOW THE RAILWAYS WILL FIX THE FUTURE., and Hosts @Railnatter on Youtube.

They discuss Zack Polanski's landmark win for the Green Party leadership, why the rail network is bad for people with access needs and what we can do about it. And does Manchester really need a underground network like Andy Burnham desires?
