Next stop on the way to GBR 🚄
On Wednesday 10 June the Railways Bill passed the 3rd reading and its final stage in the House of Commons. It now moves on to the House of Lords.
This is another important stop on the way to the formal creation of Great British Railways.

We welcomed the amendments covering travel facilities, pension schemes and TUPE protections and the government's response. We will continue to engage with the government and DFTO as the work goes on to put in place the necessary structures for GBR to be a success

We have been campaigning for public ownership of rail for years.
It’s wonderful to see that work, alongside those of the rail unions, recognised in parliament today.
Thank you @switherdenMP for working with us.
Our public services should work for us. Not private shareholders.

The Railways Bill is the biggest reversal of rail privatisation in a generation.
Great British Railways can end fragmentation and reinvest in services.
And it can improve conditions for passengers and employees alike.

Nigel Farage claims Reform 'are on the side of working people'.
Then do they want to slash our rights?

Great British Railways must mean conditions on the railway go forwards, not backwards.
Our annual conference today committed to work for harmonisation of Ts&Cs, national standard part-time arrangements and no use of AI to undermine jobs. #AAD26

Proud to have Danny at our conference today and proud to stand with the #BrumBinStrike.
Our #BrumBinStrike rep - and now Unite EC member - Danny Taylor is speaking at @ASLEFunion conference today.
Throughout this epic dispute, the support and solidarity from the wider trade union movement has been incredible.
When we have each others' backs, we're unstoppable.
