We should do the same for rail. The principle works!

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Since we introduced the £2 fare cap in September, the number of bus journeys taken in Greater Manchester has increased by 10%.

It’s a simple policy which works on every level.

All political parties should commit to making it permanent across the whole of England.👍🏻

Rail tickets have got more complicated since privatisation, but not the concept of a return ticket.
Our rail passengers deserve more than just gimmicks.

Our TSSA negotiating team is in with the @RailDeliveryGrp RDG right now. It's not going well.

This is a shocking revelation from the Rail Minister - Rail strikes have cost the UK more than settling the disputes months ago would have, rail minister Huw Merriman has said. https://t.co/FmvIANZFbo

[FutureofRail @FutureofRail]

At the moment the right to strike is vital not just for workers' pay packets but to save vital public services where staff are the last line of defence. Sign the petition against government legislation to restrict strike action.

A discussion not usually heard in the rail industry at the @NSARLtd Skills Symposium today with a focus on Social Value. Great to hear the range of Rail organisations talking about how to improve apprenticeships.#FutureOfRail #RailSkills
