🥳 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.

Our full support to @LevelBoarding with their strong intervention on the HS2 train fleet.
It should be out of the question for govt to commission new train designs without level boarding. To do so is a form of discrimination because it creates new barriers to accessibility.
Today, the Campaign has published an open letter to @Heidi_Labour regarding the news that the HS2 train fleet contract is to be reviewed.
The opportunity to apply 8 years of learning on accessibility since the trains were originally specified MUST be taken.
⚠️ Our final word to Ministers – put Passenger Rights and Public Interest at the centre of the Railways Bill.
With just one day left until the Commons debate and Third Reading, we’ve now sent our final evidence to @Heidi_Labour and @LordPeterHendy
