“The time for reviews is over. Labour will fix the problems at the root of the industry by fixing the broken model that causes them.” So starts the party’s manifesto for improving Britain’s railways if (as is widely predicted), it is victorious at the next General Election.

Has there ever been a time in the last 200 years when the structure and management of our railways wasn’t under interrogation?
