Rail researcher, Dr Grace Brown, explains why the upcoming railways bill is the perfect time to end the rolling stock rip-off.

Private train leasing companies made over £400m in profit in 2023. That money should be reinvested to lower fares.

The railways bill is a huge opportunity to finally kick out private profiteers from the system and bring down fares.

State-owned Scotrail scrapped peak fares this week. Meanwhile rail fares across the UK could go up 5.8%.
Public transport finance could & should be radically overhauled to release it from dependence on fares.

There's so much at stake with the new Railways Bill being introduced to the UK Parliament this autumn 🚆

Check out @weownit.org.uk's vision for how our new publicly-owned #GreatBritishRailways should be established 👇

🚨BREAKING: Rail fares could go up by 5.5%🚨

But they don't have to. There is a different way.

Delivering public ownership of our whole railway - not only train operators - would allow the government to cut fares for you.

3 out of 4 of us want a publicly owned railway. But how can we make sure it's a success?

We asked rail experts including @christianwolmar.bsky.social @abcommuters.bsky.social @bringbackbr.bsky.social @rmtunion.bsky.social

📣Launching today!📣

Our vision for Labour's Railways Bill. 🚆

We're calling on the government to make FULL public ownership the final destination of their rail reforms.

Read the full report today. Link in comments👇

Our new publicly-owned #GreatBritishRailways must mark the beginning of a new era 🚆

We need a railway that is run in the public interest – one that is fully-accessible & affordable for everyone to use 🙌

Want to know more about the process of rail re-nationalisation that will be unfolding over the next few years?🚆

Watch this brilliant documentary by young film maker @rikufryderyk.bsky.social:

A trailer for Blurred Lines was screened at the Scotsman Picturehouse earlier today as part of the Bristol and Edinburgh Filmfest! Thanks to @bringbackbr.bsky.social for making it happen! 😀

Read our Open Letter to @heidialexander.bsky.social here 👇

We are still yet to receive a response

This is just shocking 😱

Transport Secretary @heidialexander.bsky.social is asleep at the wheel!

Allowing the Office of Rail & Road to approve these privatised 'open access' services will prevent the delivery of a fully re-unified, publicly-owned #GreatBritishRailways until at least 2033 🚆

Enjoyed this documentary and was reminded not only that the name Great British Railways is dumb but also that rolling stock companies and open access lie diametrically opposite a truly nationalised railway; nice work by @rikufryderyk.bsky.social!

Fantastic new documentary on Great British Railways, asking why the government is so slow to come up with a proper plan.

Made by the talented young filmmaker @rikufryderyk.bsky.social feat Ellie Harrison from @bringbackbr.bsky.social and @christianwolmar.bsky.social

Brilliant to see c2c rail services now back in public ownership! 👏

But just how long will we be waiting until #GreatBritishRailways is established? 🚉🤔

Watch 14-year-old film maker @rikufryderyk.bsky.social try to make sense of it in this new documentary 👇

RMT welcomes c2c public ownership and calls for end to outsourcing:
London to Essex train company c2c will come into public hands on Sunday but outsourced cleaners will remain with a private contractor.

Private 'open access' rail services are threatening billions of public money and the future of rail reform under Great British Railways.

The Transport Minister must urgently intervene and block any more approvals from the rail regulator, Office of Rail and Road weownit.org.uk/news/stop-pr...
