Our thanks to a number of people for pointing us to this. From the article:
Mr Corbyn says he will consult women on the suggestion.
Well, that’s fair. It’s not as if men should be consulted despite being affected by the move, being squeezed into crowded carriages, and being laughed at by the women in the women-only carriages.
This is nothing less than gender apartheid, with all men visibly becoming second-class citizens. All men will be considered guilty of having harassed women on public transport, and suffer accordingly.

If young children were confined to those carriages I might feel more positive about it. But I would actively avoid a women only railway carriage, as I avoid any other gender segregated activity.
The only exception to my mind should be single sex hospital wards.
