Ch4 Ben Elton: The Great Railway Disaster

Ben Elton argues that railway privatisation is a failed experiment, travelling through Manchester's Ordsall Chord, an ?85 million feat of engineering which currently only runs one train in each direction per hour, and experiencing Britain's worst railway line, the Transpennine Express. Ben reveals the results of a Channel 4 survey which asked 2,000 adults about their experience of using the trains, questioning how problems on the railways have impacted people's everyday lives, changing the way they travel.
