Proud Brit & European, work for the Railways. Dog Dad to a crazy Spaniel, interests: current affairs, transport, heritage, aviation & singing. Views my own.
Today we've renationalised the UK's largest train operator.
Passengers will see fewer last-minute cancellations, cleaner toilets and more services to Gatwick Airport.
We are building Great British Railways. ๐ฌ๐ง๐

Please explain how, purely through โownershipโ change you are going to improve services for pax after delaying openings of new routes & stations, withdrawing cheaper fares, cutting electrification and ordering operators to cut timetables?
From today, millions of passengers will have better train journeys.
Weโve nationalised Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express with plans to recruit more drivers and improve signalling to reduce delays and cancellations.
Europeโs railway Termini really are magnificent- and Milan must be close to top of the list.
Even today (When thereโs a National Transport Strike) it was busy with the hub-bub of life that makes these places so joyful.
Something inherently beautiful about the simplicity of the Milan Verona High Speed line - esp
compared to the land take of parallel motorway.
Why does UK make things so complicated?
Cancelling a train โdue to overcrowdingโ is surely not the solution to said problem?
Another railways shooting themselves in the foot comms piece!๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
