On Wednesday 2 January 2019, as our rail fares rise again by 3.1%, Organisations We Own It, the Association of British Commuters and NOR4NOR to organise the Rail Revolution: National Day of Action are calling for radical reform.
Coinciding with the public consultation for the government’s new ‘root and branch’ review of our railways: the Williams Rail Review, the above are calling on passengers all over the country to respond in favour of a re-unified national rail network run for people not profit.
On Wednesday 2 January 2019, protests will take place at stations across the country (see list below), with a central one at London King’s Cross from 7:30-9:00am. See the Facebook event page for details, print a Bring Back British Rail placard and come join us!
Then on Friday 18 January 2019, to mark the deadline of the Williams Rail Review public consultation, he organisations above be delivering our Care2 Petition to Re-nationalise our Railways signed by 118,039 people to the Department for Transport to demonstrate the sheer weight of public support for public ownership.
