Curious message from @LeedsBS - system upgrade will remove online access to Mortgage details - suggests permanently?
Hardly the improved service you talk about?

Surely no TU would support a company that
- want to scrap Minimum wage
- leave the ECHR
- scrap the Equality Act
- voted against Employment Rights Bill
- sack civil servants who donโt do what Reform say and lose pension rights

Reform is now the party of workers.
Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK.
We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.

Iโd suggest far more thought has gone into to this by Lewis than the current proposed identity.๐๐ผ
Certainly worth consideration and debate so we can all be proud of Britainโs railway.
It has arrived!

Please explain how, purely through โownershipโ change you are going to improve services for pax after delaying openings of new routes & stations, withdrawing cheaper fares, cutting electrification and ordering operators to cut timetables?
From today, millions of passengers will have better train journeys.
Weโve nationalised Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express with plans to recruit more drivers and improve signalling to reduce delays and cancellations.

Fewer last minute cancellations purely through a change in โownershipโ is quite a claim.
How, exactly, will this be achieved please?

Today we've renationalised the UK's largest train operator.
Passengers will see fewer last-minute cancellations, cleaner toilets and more services to Gatwick Airport.
We are building Great British Railways. ๐ฌ๐ง๐

Europeโs railway Termini really are magnificent- and Milan must be close to top of the list.
Even today (When thereโs a National Transport Strike) it was busy with the hub-bub of life that makes these places so joyful.

Something inherently beautiful about the simplicity of the Milan Verona High Speed line - esp
compared to the land take of parallel motorway.
Why does UK make things so complicated?

Cancelling a train โdue to overcrowdingโ is surely not the solution to said problem?

246,000 Brits left last year.
Net, 136,000 went. A city the size of Watford.
Many are entrepreneurs, investors, small businesspeople.
Itโs the Starmer Exodus.
Reform will Bring Brits Back.

It is really difficult to justify loosening sanction on Russian oil while at the same time banning the extraction of North Sea!
