c2c has gone into public ownership. We welcome that. But it must mean more than a change of name.
We need a rail system that puts people before profit with job protections, better pay, conditions & safety, and affordable fares that make rail first choice for travel in Britain.

For many today it remains hot and in this heat we expect employers to show common sense and compassion. Staff shouldn't be disciplined for adapting their clothing to stay safe and comfortable. Flexibility on workwear is essential in high temperatures. #heatwave
Into July, temperatures will decrease but remaining warm for many. However, there will be more cloud and showers for some ☁️
