Sir Keir Starmer said employees at UK-based train makers were ‘staring down the barrel of devastating job losses’
On a visit to train manufacturer Hitachi in Newton Aycliffe, Co Durham, Sir Keir said the proposal would be part of a wider set of measures, including a long-term strategy for the rail sector. “This is a crisis that must be resolved urgently and must not be allowed to happen again. That’s why, as part of our wider plan to fix Britain’s broken railways, Labour will bring forward a new, long-term strategy for this crucial sector.
Ms Haigh said: “Britain was the country that created the railways, but under this Government a cycle of boom-and-bust has put the future of our rail manufacturing sector at risk. The Government’s own proposals for rail reform, published in a draft Bill in February, include the creation of a new public sector body named Great British Railways to hold responsibility for rail infrastructure and awarding contracts to operate trains.
