Labour under pressure to commit

LABOUR is under renewed pressure to renationalise the whole of Britain’s rail network after polling revealed peeved-off passengers are in no mood for half measures. 

Results of a Survation poll of 1,046 people revealed today show 40 per cent want to see every line run by a public-sector operator. 

Another 23 per cent of people want to see some lines back in public hands, while just 17 per cent are prepared to see privatisation continue.
