Today House of Commons will debate Railways Bill

Great that franchises are coming into public ownership but we also need

🚄 Publicly owned rolling stock (trains)
🚄 An end to competition + private profit
🚄 Accountable passenger watchdog
🚄 Lower fares, new lines, investment!

🚄Excellent news - the government is freezing rail fares!🚄

Next we need REDUCTIONS as UK rail fares are out of control

But this is a step in the right direction after 30 years of privatisation and a win for public ownership! 🎉🎉🎉
