Good. Now do the NHS
I don’t understand how on one hand they can say the rail services need nationalising because the private sector isn’t working yet with the NHS they need more private investment?
Simple: typically US based healthcare companies know how bribe and corrupt politicians, whereas typically EU based train firms don’t
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rail unions have said Britain’s trains will be “run as a public service, not for private profit”, as the new government announced early steps to renationalise the railways in the king’s speech.
The government said that public ownership would be the “default position” for train operators, while bus services could also be owned and controlled by local councils under other legislation.
Avanti West Coast bosses were put on notice to improve performance in a meeting with the transport secretary, Louise Haigh, on Tuesday.
A separate railways bill will establish GBR in a similar way to the reform proposed under the Conservatives in 2021, creating a “directing mind” running a “unified and simplified” rail system, with track and train managed by the same organisation.
Some of rail’s immediate problems, including the industrial relations breakdown that has plagued Avanti and others, may be ameliorated by measures in Labour’s employment rights bill – marking a swift end to Conservative plans for minimum service levels during strikes.
The better buses bill will extend franchising powers from metro mayors to all local authorities, and remove the bar on contracting municipal bus companies to operate routes.
