London: Britain's Labour government will carry out the first renationalisation of a private train operator in May, transport minister Heidi Alexander announced Wednesday.
Returning all of the country's rail operators into public ownership is among the key policies launched by Prime Minister Keir Starmer since his party's re-election five months ago.
Train passengers in Britain suffer from frequent cancellations to their journeys in addition to high ticket prices.
"For too long, the British public has had to put up with rail services that simply don't work," Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said in a statement.
"A complex system of private train operators has too often failed its users."
