RMT Press Office:

RMT on Government spin operation today on local transport services.

General Secretary Mick Cash said;

"As usual with these pre-budget spin operations detail is thin on the ground over exactly what the Government are planning in these hyped up proposals for city transport links.

"However, what we do know is that this is a Government that has scrapped key rail electrification plans, decimated rural bus services and stood back while private transport operators have axed staff and milked the British passenger for every penny they can get.

"RMT will continue to fight for publicly-owned, integrated services which end the scandal of transport poverty and which put accessibility, quality and safety before private profit."
