Three rail companies serving London commuters will be renationalised by Labour next year - with a fourth also in the government's sights - under a “major shake-up” of British railways. It's claimed renationalisation will save £150 million in management fees alone. So, how will Labour's Great British Railways project impact journeys, delays, ticket prices and the prospect of train strikes? Mark Blunden is joined by The London Standard’s transport editor Ross Lydall.
In part two, our health reporter Daniel Keane on a surge in norovirus cases reported by the UK Health Security Agency, but slightly more heartening news for the recovery of young people suffering from long Covid, revealed in a UCL study.
