🔥🔥@CHinchliffMP is absolutely spot on: people will judge the success of public ownership of rail on whether it makes using trains cheaper.
His amendment - supported by We Own It - will create a Great British Railcard to give every passenger a discount on fares. Govt should back it.

The government can’t be bringing train operations into public ownership, which is wonderful, yet allowing many jobs at train stations to be outsourced.
The government must back @johnmcdonnellMP’s amendment to bring services in-house like they promised to do at the last election.

The Railways Bill is back in Parliament on 10 June, giving MPs one last chance to put disabled passengers’ rights at the heart of Great British Railways.
@We_OwnIt have a quick template if you've only got 2 minutes, or check out @ABCommuters resources for a personalised letter
URGENT: We’re calling on MPs to ensure Passenger Rights and Public Interest Duties become core values of Great British Railways.
This can only be done by amending Clause 18, which will set the criteria for all future rail policy decisions. The amendments include:
- A strong Passenger and Disability Rights Duty
- Duty to maximise socioeconomic value
- Climate and environment duties
- Duty to achieve targets for full rail accessibility
- Duties for affordable fares and transport integration
Please help by emailing your MP - asking them to co-sponsor Amendments 29, 30 and 33, and support these values in the Commons debate this Wednesday.

NEW: We're calling for a democratic passenger organisation for Great British Railways, built on values of independence, equality and inclusion.
The amendments have been extremely popular with MPs, with 28 already co-sponsoring. Please help us take this number even higher before the Third Reading of the Railways Bill next week.

Apologies are really not enough. Tell yr bosses to use common sense. If a train is already full with reserved seats either they stop anyone else boarding (cue passenger rebellion) or they add more carriages. #couldntorganiseapissupinabrewery @bringbackBR
