The Four Big Myths of Rail Privatisation
1st June 2015 | Evidence / News
Read this report from our friends at Action for Rail! It’s all the evidence you need that rail privatisation has failed to deliver what they promised it would in the ’90s:
- • reduction in government subsidies (we now subsidise rail by nearly three times more than we did as British Rail)
- • cheaper tickets (rail fares have risen by 24% in real terms since privatisation)
- • innovation and investment (90% of the investment in the railways has come from public money)
