@abcommuters.bsky.socialNEW: The Railways Bill must secure public ownership of rolling stock.
Last week, the government said it would consider public ownership of new trains. If it means what it says, it must turn this into law - the Railways Bill is the best ever opportunity. abcommuters.com/2026/10/08/r...
@abcommuters.bsky.socialSuccess at Lords Committee: amendments for transport integration receive cross-party support. We were pleased to work with peers on these vital changes, and will continue pressing the govt to adopt them as the Railways Bill moves forward.
@weownit.org.ukReposted by @abcommuters.bsky.socialBREAKING: Chiltern Railways comes into public ownership TODAY This is wonderful news. But let's be clear: public ownership of train operating companies is a powerful first step, but it's ONLY a first step We must end rolling stock privatisation, outsourcing of station services and cut fares.

@abcommuters.bsky.socialBaroness Jones uncovers the biggest scandal in the Railways Bill, in the Lords Committee opening debate this week. Watch her full speech in the post above. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social @bringbackbritishrail.org @weownit.org.uk
@abcommuters.bsky.social"The Railways Bill could allow companies within Great British Railways to have private shareholders... These companies could carry out any GBR function - even train operations or infrastructure management... We shouldn't be creating a back door that allows privatisation to creep in."
@bringbackbritishrail.orgReposted by @abcommuters.bsky.socialThe #RailwaysBill which will create our new Great British Railways is now being scrutinised by the House of Lords 🚆
Can they close the loopholes for re-privatisation & help deliver a fully-integrated railway?
