The government lost YOUR rail consultation responses - take action
It is crucial for passengers that our voices are heard and that the bill delivers on the hopes and expectations of passengers. But this has not happened.

🚨This is a scandal! The government lost thousands of public responses to their railway consultation.
That means that if you want to end the private rolling stock ripoff, or cut fares, or end competition law in the railway, your voice was silenced.
