Update on Railways Bill: There was a major win on public ownership this week, but the government failed to take on ANY amendments for passenger and disability rights or public interest.
Our full report is coming soon, before we take this fight to the House of Lords.
The Railways Bill is the biggest opportunity in decades to get justice for disabled passengers. It also presents serious risks to their rights.
It’s exactly the time that well-funded charities should be pushing harder than ever, ensuring the work is not left to volunteers.
🥳 A huge victory for public ownership, preventing the risk of back-door privatisation in the Railways Bill.
Many thanks to @Heidi_Labour @LordPeterHendy @RichardBurgon @We_OwnIt @bringbackBR
VICTORY🚨🥳🎉🎊
The government has accepted @RichardBurgon’s amendment to close privatisation loopholes in the Railways Bill
We worked with the @ABCommuters and Richard Burgon MP on these key amendments
This is a win for passengers, not profit.
