Christian Wolmar: Labour fails to answer fundamental questions about the future of the railway

What now? Despite the length of the hustings, none of the questions about the future of the rail industry have been answered, says Christian Wolmar.

I am, of course, writing this before the result of the General Election is known. But my assumption is that Sir Keir Starmer is now safely ensconced in Downing Street.

From my numerous conversations with key players in the industry, uncertainty is the overriding feeling in the industry - even among those who will be directly affected by Labour’s plans to move the franchises back in-house.
