🚨BREAKING: Rail fares could go up by 5.5%🚨 But they don't have to. There is a different way. Delivering public ownership of our whole railway - not only train operators - would allow the government to cut fares for you. 🆕READ our new report now: weownit.org.uk/passengersnotp…

Many thanks to We Own It for including the Accessibility Framework in their new report, which will be going out to MPs + activists across the country. Rail reform must end discrimination and guarantee disabled people's equal right to travel.

.Heidi Alexander MP is throwing important new technologies out to the free market. Fragmented 'ticketing trials' are being run by different private companies all over the country. This is all being done without consultation or equality due process - managed by Rail Delivery Group

The public ownership of Scotland's Railways makes it much easier for the Scottish Government to cut fares to help encourage more rail use 👏 When Great British Railways is established we need to see #PeakFaresGoneForGood all over Britain 🚆 Heidi Alexander MP?

Lots of MP's want a railway that works for passengers, not profit. Alongside Chris Hinchliff MP, Martin Wrigley MP and rail experts, we co-hosted a parliamentary drop-in session attended by over 40 MPs. The government must make public ownership of the railways a success.

Rail researcher, Dr Grace Brown, explains why the upcoming railways bill is the perfect time to end the rolling stock rip-off. Private train leasing companies made over £400m in profit in 2023. That money should be reinvested to lower fares. Agree? Email your MP today👇
