Two more rail firms, C2C and Greater Anglia, will be brought into public ownership later this year. Four major operators have already been brought under public ownership under previous Conservative governments - East Coast Mainline, TransPennine, Northern and South Eastern (LNER).

Accessibility on public transport for disabled people is a "national embarrassment", a senior group of MPs has warned. A report by parliament's cross-party transport select committee found "systematic" failings across all public transport and says "too great a burden is placed on individual disabled people" to hold operators and authorities to account. Disabled-led charity Transport for All is urging the government to act on the report's findings.
