South Western first train company renationalised by Labour

The Government’s renationalisation of rail services has started as trains operated by South Western Railway (SWR) were taken into public control.

The train operator officially came under public ownership at around 2am on Sunday.

The first journey, the 5.36am from Woking, was partly a rail replacement bus service due to engineering works.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, who travelled on the first renationalised departure from London Waterloo, said it was “a new dawn for our railways”.
