Tonight's #Railnatter is one we're really proud of - it's the story of the incredible trans woman who created the railway modelling movement as we know it today. If you've not heard of her - you should have!

For an awful lot of politicians and pundits, the story about fixing our railways starts and stops with one word: NATIONALISATION. But this slogan alone is doomed to fail us all.

Not just nationalisation.
Public ownership is the first step we need to take to make our railways work for all 68 million of us and not just a hand full of greedy share holders.
We want the power put in our hands.
