Like nationalisation? UK railways need ‘radical overhaul’, campaigners say

• The entire British rail network should be radically overhauled to end the spectre of “nightmare journeys”, campaigners have said.
• Scrapping franchises, reforming fares and handing control to city regions could help improve the railways, the Campaign for Better Transport said.
• The Department for Transport (DfT) said it intends to “create a fairer, more effective” railway system.
• It comes as regulated fares are set to rise by an average of 2.7% next week.
