Join our countdown to re-nationalisation
11th December 2024 | News
It’s been a historic year for Bring Back British Rail.
Following the election of the new government in July, the Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Act became law on 28 November 2024.
This begins to undo the destruction caused by the Railways Act 1993 by making public ownership of rail services the default, rather than the ‘last resort’.
Privatisation Departures Board
The first services to be re-nationalised under the new Act will be South Western Railway on 25 May, c2c on 20 July and Greater Anglia in autumn 2025.
We are celebrating by launching our new Privatisation Departures Board – allowing you to easily count down the days to the demise of your least favourite private operator.
Please share the link far-and-wide on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky and X: bringbackbritishrail.org/departures
Meanwhile, we will continue the campaign until the legislation required to fully re-unify our railways as Great British Railways has be passed.
