Teaching activity

The British Railways

Sarah Best

13th January 2020

This video from the Financial Times looks at the states of the railway network in the UK.

Themes such as privatisation and nationalisation are discussed and how various governments with different political agendas and values have influenced services such as the rail network.

This video could be useful in reviewing ideology with students (capitalism, socialism) in the Theory and Methods unit.
