😡 Avanti's contract extended despite terrible track record. Passengers deserve affordable, reliable trains. Privatisation is getting us nowhere. ... See MoreSee Less

Tory Party values.
It's a management contract which means it doesn't matter how bad they are they will still get paid their fee and they will be protected from any loses due to industrial action or even another pandemic ( don't forget the current government likes to remind us all that every household paid £1400 to prop up those naughty striking rail workers)
Built by the people for the people not the share holders

I was in the ticket office at Newcastle today at what I would have expected to be a quiet time. There was a queue in front of me and it quickly lengthened behind me.
Form completed. Not that they'll take the slightest bit of notice. The government has already made up their 'minds'.

Join us at 10 am on Tuesday 29th August to protest the government's plans to close a thousand of our train station ticket offices.Comment on Facebook
Keep on about Ticket Offices closing, fact is the 8 x Ticket Offices on our line CLOSED way back in a September 1989! By good old British Rail. In this respect of Ticket Offices it all seems a bit rose tinted spectacles to us.
It seems so strange that in the news, the closure of the ticket offices would affect the elderly and disabled people. Yet they have already spent millions or even billions of pounds in introducing mobility-compliant trains or modifying existing trains.

RMT launch National Day of Action against ticket office closures #SaveTicketOffices
Rail union, RMT will step up its campaign to save ticket offices, with dozens of protests outside stations across the country on Thursday.
In London, the union will hold a mass rally outside Kings Cross station at 6pm while local stations will be leafleted.
The union is encouraging everyone to take part in the consultation, so rail companies and the government understand how much rail passengers value their ticket offices and staff.
RMT is taking strike action on 20,22 and 29 July over pay, conditions and ticket office closures.
General Secretary Mick Lynch said: "Our union is taking our campaign to save ticket offices out into every town, city and village in this country.
"The recent announcements of ticket office closures is a fig-leaf for the wholescale de-staffing of stations, including safety critical train dispatch, safety critical train despatch staff, passenger assistance and other non-ticket office customer service workers.
"Ticket office closures under Schedule 17 means there will be no regulations on staffing levels at stations whatsoever.
"Train operators will then be free to staff or de-staff any station to whatever level they choose.
"Our union and the travelling public do not want a de-humanised railway that will be a rife with crime and anti-social behaviour, inaccessible to the most vulnerable.
"We will fight these plans all the way and need the public's support in joining our campaign and taking part in the consultation." ... See MoreSee Less

Proof, if it was ever needed, that running the railways is about one thing and one thing only, profits for shareholders. There's no concept of public service from the government or the privatised railway companies.
Hope there are similar meetings outside of London. 🤔
Privatisation has never delivered. They choosed to get the trains supplied from abroad that most are still plagued by teething and quality control issues.
Mick Lynch is on £80k+ a year. Do you really think he gives a shit about you lot or anyone else?'
