Campaign to Keep ScotRail Public

Re-nationalised April 2022

The ScotRail franchise is managed by the Scottish Government and encompasses all rail services operating wholly within Scotland. In April 2022, following our long-term campaign (launched in 2014), ScotRail was finally brought back into public ownership, after seven years of persistently poor performance by its former operator Abellio (the international arm of Nederlandse Spoorwegen, the national state-owned rail operator in the Netherlands).

• Do you use the ScotRail service regularly?
• Do you want it to remain in public hands as part of a re-unified national rail network run for people not profit?
• Then, why not start a campaign building up to the franchise end?

Bring Back British Rail will support you by promoting your campaign’s details on this website and putting you in touch with other local activists via our Facebook, Twitter and Riseup communities. Please get in touch on the email address below!
