Yesterday the Transport Secretary Chris Grayling announced that the East Coast main line was to be taken back into public ownership. The FT have released a fantastic video that asks the question; "Why did we sell off the railways?"
This should be a useful topical revision resource that will no doubt help students when preparing for the upcoming year 2 micro and synoptic exam papers.
