RMT Press Office:
After another morning of misery for rail users RMT repeats calls for public ownership.
After yet another morning of breakdowns and delays on rail services RMT has repeated it's calls for public ownership.
General Secretary Mick Cash said
"After another morning of delays and chaos it is time the Government got a grip and stopped dangling gold-plated franchises in front of European state rail operators and gave a British state provider a chance to sort this mess out. "
"State-owned rail companies from across Europe, with the Italian Trenitalia the latest to get the nod from the British Government , are queuing up to milk our railways to subsidise their own domestic operations. This scandal has to stop. "
