Today, Caroline Lucas Green Party MP introduced an Early Day Motion to the UK Parliament calling for the Public Ownership of the Railways.
Bring Back British Rail supporters, we must seize this opportunity!
Please WRITE TO YOUR MP TODAY, and ask them to sign up to βEarly Day Motion 303β, if only for the simple economic fact that we are now subsidising our railways by two to three times more than we did before they were privatised in 1994. Thatβs Β£1.2 billion of taxpayers money per year being wasted as a result of the inefficiencies of this ridiculous franchise system.
Please see the Re-building Rail and The Great Train Robbery reports for more great facts like these.
