A government spokesman said to day that they were actively considering Tory only trains."We mean to achieve this by hiking up fares to the extent that ordinary people would be enable to afford to travel in them." an unnamed Tory spokesman said today.Harriet Harmann has replied by saying that she is not fundamentally opposed to the idea, as long as a few cattle trucks are made available at a reduced price for the less well off from time to time.Her views have been endorsed by Labour leadership candidates ,Cooper,Burnham and Kendal who said "These policies are very popular with the public ,we should be endorsing them not opposing them".

We should bring back the "parliamentary" trains. An act was passed in the 1840's compelling the railway companies to run at least one train a day on every line at a fare of no more than one penny per mile, in order to allow the working classes to travel.
