- Conservative ex-mayor Andy Street in the running to oversee Britain’s nationalized railways
Conservative mayor Andy Street is a leading candidate for chair of Great British Railways, a publicly-owned company overseeing nationalized railways. The role, paying £200,000 to £300,000 annually, is part of Labour's reversal of 1990s rail privatization. The decision remains pending, with political considerations potentially delaying it until after Andy Burnham becomes prime minister.
