We're ready for our Tug of War! On one side: passengers, the economy, nature and the environment + @chris nhinchcliffe and @richard burgon - standing up for an improved Railways Bill. On the other: the profiteers and politicians who don't share their vision for Great British Railways.

๐ŸšจBREAKING Research shows dividends paid out by train leasing companies since COVID could have CUT rail fares by almost 13% since 2022. Thatโ€™s why we're taking action from 1-2pm today in Parliament Square to demand the government puts passengers before profit in their Railways Bill. See you there!

Research finds train leasing dividends would have cut some fares by almost 13% since 2022, as Campaigners and MPs call for the Railways Bill to put passengers first

Newly published research argues that dividends paid to shareholders by train leasing companies since the end of the pandemic could have cut regulated rail fares by up to 12.6% over the last 3 years.

Huge missed opportunity that these new trains will not be owned by ScotRail They are being leased by Beacon Rail which is owned by JP Morgan Asset Management Rolling stock is the most profitable bit of the railway Scotland should own its own trains! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

image of a Morning Star headline "GBR should use savings to cut fares and open new services, majority say in poll""SEVEN in 10 people think savings from renationalising rail firms should only be used to cut fares or open new services, a poll by We Own It has found.

Most said that they would be more likely to travel by rail if fares were reduced, with almost six in 10 telling the Survation survey that public ownership should involve passenger representatives on the board of Great British Railways (GBR).

With more than half of train-operating companies now in public ownership, the campaign group and supporting MPs have said that fare cuts will create a โ€œvirtuous circleโ€ in the railway."
