Government Review of the Railways

The Government is currently conducting a number of reviews that will affect the future of the railways.

These reviews could lead to a highly detrimental impact on Britain's railways including the break up and sale of Network Rail, longer franchises which have greater flexibility to cut services and a significant dilution of safety standards.

RMT and the RMT parliamentary group have been lobbying hard to defend our railways and continue to make the case for public ownership.
