Different tracks

It seems every party has the railways at the heart of their election campaign. In summary:

Cons: 850 miles of electrified railway; start HS2; continue with HS3.

Lab: Cap annual railfare increases; allow public sector rail companies to bid and take over new lines.

Lib Dem: Electrify all suburban and major rail lines; re-open many stations; support urban light-rail.

Greens: Re-nationalise the railways; scrap HS2.
