‎RMT demands a permanent end to privatisation as public sector takes over East Coast again today

General Secretary Mick Cash said;

"If you want to see the failures of Britain's privatised railway system writ large look no further than the East Coast Main Line where a succession of expensive corporate disasters have seen this crucial inter-city service lurch from crisis to crisis.

"The only stable period in the past two decades came under the publicly owned Directly Operated Railways. What we need now is permanent public ownership and not some short-term lash up as a holding operation before Chris Grayling gives  another bunch of spivs and speculators a spin of the wheel."
