Rail Britannia?

Description:

Today, we look at Labour’s plan to renationalise most rail services within five years, if it wins the next election.

Labour say a new public body would take over current contracts when they expire, taking on the responsibility for running services. But transport secretary Mark Harper said the plans were "unfunded". Labour’s shadow transport secretary Louise Haigh joins Adam and Alex to talk through the plans, and answers the question - why is wifi so bad on some trains?

And, comedian and social media star Michael Spicer talks about his new sketch podcast No Room.
