📣We've launched our Clean The Air campaign to tackle low air quality on the London Underground.

Deepest sympathies to the staff and passengers in the tragic derailment at Riedlingen in Germany, especially to the friends and families of those who’ve died. We are all one railway family.

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.
