Rail union RMT responds to Commons Transport Committee report today on crisis in infrastructure funding.
Mick Cash, RMT Acting General Secretary, said:
“The biggest block to the massive investment that our transport services are crying out for is the continuing impact of privatisation which not only drains billions of pounds away in shareholder profits but also fragments and divides the industry making planning and co-operation a nightmare.
“Until the millstone of private greed is lifted from our necks our industry will never be able to deliver what the public clearly want – cohesive, safe and modern transport services run in the public interest not for the benefit of spivs and speculators looking for a fast buck.”
