Private train leasing companies syphoned 1.16 billion pounds in dividends since 2022. The Railways Bill won't change this. I've asked my MP to attend We Own It's session on how the Railways Bill can deliver for us, not profiteers. @We_ownit weownit.org.uk/act-now/rail...
Make sure your MP knows how the Railways Bill can deliver for passengers - email your MP
Invite your MP to learn more about how they can fight to make sure the Railways Bill delivers for passengers.

Before privatisation, passengers bought tickets and the money went to British rail, who ran the trains. The proposed nationalised rail system intends to keep these ticket middlemen to encourage innovation. At a cost to the passenger and profit to the middleman 😑
