As predicted in our last blog, it is now clear that the government has no idea what to do when the ‘Emergency Measures Agreements’ run out in September.

As a railway employee the last 3/4 months the punctuality has been fantastic less trains means a railway that can run smoothly hopefully we don’t go back to the old model of a saturated railway
Under privatisation there's no such thing as a business model in recovering costs even with the highest fares in Europe. It's simply totally subsidised by the taxpayer.
You put a spiv with no industry experience in charge of transport, and this is what you get
They have no plans they are just a bunch of rabbits caught in the headlights.
Nit called the Dept for Tomfuckery for nothing. ..
We get 159's past our house and today one was really crowded. There were three people on it.
More public money for failed privatisation. It's a win win situation for Tory donors.
they're just thinking how to skim more out of the next budget, Never a thought about giving it back to the country.
The Tory Govt is sure to pick the worst option for the travelling public & the best option for skimming money into private pockets.
Shapps is more slippery than a greased weasel ... in a game of 'Whack-a-Mole' I would concentrate on him ...
No they maybe renegotiated but will never be run by the state. Problem will be what incentive will there be in future to continue to invest in new stock . Improved facilities and timetables. Very little i suspect

‘Britain's railways will be 'renationalised' using emergency coronavirus measures - ending the current franchise system’ 🚆 Grant Shapps’ proposal is to replace rail franchises with contracts managed by publicly-owned Network Rail, instead of the Department for Transport. It could be an improvement on the current shambles, but do we really need private rail companies involved at all? Let's #TakeBackOurTrains! Take action at 📝👉 weownit.org.uk/take-back-our-trains

Rail travel, along with all public transport should be a standard cost per mile (or Km) and should be compatible with travelling in a car alone. Say 12 p per mile. It should not be a profit making business but a public service. There should not be huge differences according to when you travel and NO class system.
We need a single, integrated publicly owned and accountable entity. No need for or point in any privateer involvement.
Oh I see where they're doing. During the Coronavirus crisis, social distancing means that the privatised rail franchisees can't make their huge profits, so the state jumps in to take that loss. Once they're profitable, they'll be given back. Don't we just love neoliberal capitalism?
The government can't manage private companies with the NHS, so don't hold out hope for the railways.
Let’s keep it permanent and run it for our benefit, not just for shareholders and top execs
Another privatisation failure, it’s hilarious that the conservatives are having to do it, they have used public funds to support these companies.
Well as this report is in the Daily Fail, and concerns a "report" about a "Grant Shapps' proposal", I wouldn't believe a single word of it, because I am in a quandary as to who tell more lies, the supposed "journalists" who write articles in the Daily Fail, or tory government Ministers !!!!
Now as long as we're currently in the EU we can't can we? I thought that the EU rules were that one company couldn't run the infrastructure and trains. So to nationalise the trains, they'd have to be run by a different company. Government owned but separate. That was my understanding.
Network Rail's charter doesn't allow for it to be a train operator, so I don't see how that is feasible...
We don`t need nationalised company`s, fat cat wages more managers than workers seen it all before
As if bike use is going to continue in the same way after the virus has passed! Once winter comes it will be locked in the shed.
Fares and timetables in the hands of ministers??? Of what fun lies ahead
Yet when Labour suggested this it was crazy
doing his best there to resemble a bygone image of trainspotters
They are only taking them back so that the taxpayer can pay to fix up the shambles that the private sector made of them and then give away taxpayer business value for a song to other rich Tories to make a private sector fat profit and shambles of again.
Renationalise yes franchise of any name NO
Would be nice! But i honestly think this is fake news
bring back br !!
tories have to have their pals involved so they can blame public when its crap private when its good
Pure evil, they need to go, all of em.
In Germany DB is state owned and runs 80% of the German Network, the same as NL 🇳🇱. 80% of the bus network is the same too. The local council runs buses and only contractors are bought in to make up any shortfall.
Get it done
34 of the top 50 highest paid people in the public sector work on the railway. So that will now be relegation for the other 16.
I see no nationalisation anywhere in these proposals. Very little change from the current system. I know what he's at. He'll say to the public, 'There. We nationalised the railways just as you wanted.' While nothing real has happened at all. Another Con-trick.
A managed franchise is probably the worst outcome. If they are given a certain amount of money to run it then the only cost savings are the staff 😢

Renationalisation is an ugly word, and the BBBR is too long without actually making me punch the air and say "yay!". So we go with "Make Trains great again". You get the idea. Think of something better. "You pay £100 more per month because of privatisation". "Your service will be cut, or you will pay more. We can stop that". "We can afford cheaper train tickets, can you afford more expensive child care?"
Sadly nothing can be done until we are free of eu legislation at the end of the year after which it could be made to happen
This is an article full of nothing but opinions. Such a shame but the government will still do as they please (go with what makes them money) in the long run.
Network Rail’s debt has now reached the dizzying heights of £60,000,000,000
The government have dry fucked the railways since Beeching, why do people think giving the railway back to governments that have fucked the armed forces, emergency services and the NHS so they can fuck the railway further?
Just cancel hs2. 100 billion saved. BOOM
How about a direct campaign to get people permitted to travel by train again and stop the industry being killed off. For the moment it doesn’t matter who runs the railway, unless people start travelling again, there will not be an industry left to debate.
ever thought about a massive "crowd funding" campaign to buy up all of the shares? WHats the buy out value of the train companies?
All that is needed is for everyone to stop paying their fare on all PUBLIC TRANSPORT. After all WE the GENERAL PUBLIC "OWN" IT.
Mark Underwood
According to a DfT data sheet for 2019 just 2% of total journeys were made by rail in England in 2018. Seems that the rail network might not be as essential to the general public as we in the industry would like to believe in which case the privatisation debate is purely academic.
We own it now.
I live on the Swansea to London line over the last three months I've seen no-one on the train in either direction. In diesel alone over the 3 months lockdown is £3m in fuel alone. WTF
They done so well last time
Tories will never admit they were wrong.

I could have some sympathy expect that it was pressure from season-ticket holders that was partly responsible for BR being privatised in the first place. Be careful what you wish for.
Wasn't that a Labour policy that the Tories laughed at .🤔
Two arse holes
You can demand until you're blue in the face, it won't happen without a change of government.
#bringbackBritishRail
It strikes me as odd that Grant Shapps comes from Hertfordshire and yet the Croxley Link sits there untouched when it would be a great link bringing the Met to #Watford Junction and also enable a Chiltern #Aylesbury-Watford passenger link as well as potential freight. Joined up thinking?
If you need to bail it out it should be nationalised.
NOT JUST the RAILWAYS. The WHOLE COUNTRY needs bringing back under the GENERAL PUBLIC'S CONTROL.
These often foreign owned franchises are costing the fare payer and general public a fortune. Get rail and bus back under UK state and municipal ownership.
All nationalised companies should be run with ruthless efficiency. Then they truly serve their owners......the people!!
We continue to pay large amounts of money for incompetence. Normal for this government
You carry on subsidizing The railways in the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany then, That's what our railways are doing with your fares.
Government policy can be changed. In any case if we say and do nothing it will never happen.
Public transport across all of london needs to go bk to public control. At the moment its profit b4 people.
We demand transparency and COMMON SENSE!! Bailouts are dead money for the country. Invest in our own trains recycle our money on the system.
signed.
Jokers
If everything was taken under govornment control we would be back in the 70's. Mass unemployment , general strikes, because Billy couldnt have a cig when he wanted. The country would grind to a halt. It would be even worse under Labour.
love the way you all think even under DOLR there isnt private companies behind it, very blikered view
Sorry, doesn't fit with Tory Principle #1
You mean there still be actual commuters post Cv-19?
