SouthernFail crowdfunding campaign

5th September 2016 | News

The irony of rail privatisation is that the Department for Transport now has more direct control over our railways than they ever did with the arms-length British Rail. And, yes, they are certainly making a mess of it!

Bring Back British Rail is supporting our friends at the Association of British Commuters who are crowdfunding to take the DfT to court over the fiasco with Southern Fail.

Please support them at: crowdjustice.co.uk/case/southernrail
