Labour party members, including Shadow Transport Secretary Lou Haigh and Keir Starmer, are advocating for a publicly owned railway system to address the issues of soaring cancellations, high fares, and taxpayer burden in Britain's railways. They aim to improve standards, reduce costs, and prioritize passenger welfare. The plan involves bringing the railways back into public ownership for the benefit of the public.
Britain’s railways are broken. Cancellations have soared to record levels, fares have risen almost twice as fast as wages, and taxpayers are paying through the teeth to prop up a failing system. Labour will deliver a publicly owned railway that puts the passenger first. https://t.co/BZZdl98yNT
Our railways connect people to jobs, education and training, family and friends, football matches and theatre trips, days out and holidays. They’re safe and environmentally friendly. They move freight off our roads. Under Labour they will be run for public benefit 👏👏👏 https://t.co/R3BDFGKrRF
We don’t need to tell you that the Tories have broken Britain’s railways. Labour’s plan will get our railways back on track; driving up standards and bringing down costs. https://t.co/nHhFmyeMR5
It’s time to put an end to Tory rail chaos. My mission-driven government will get Britain moving. We will fix our broken railways and put passengers first.
