Let's make public ownership happen

Dear
John
,

The coronavirus lockdown has caused a crisis for our failing privatised railway.

On 23 March 2020, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps stepped in with a massive bailout to the private train companies to ensure their profits until 30 September. Train companies want this to continue, but the government don't want to throw more money at a failing system.

Grant Shapps will make a decision in the next few weeks.
Tell him to bring rail into public ownership instead ([link removed])
Public ownership of the railway would allow us to
* prioritise safety and social distancing as we continue to fight coronavirus
* save public money, and
* help improve services in the long-term

Plus, it's what the majority (76%) of the public want!

His decision is expected by the end of June, so there's not much time. Take 2 minutes to send him an email today to add your voice.
Take action today! ([link removed])
Passengers around the country are standing up to say enough is enough. We've partnered with Bring Back British Rail, the Association of British Commuters to launch this action.

Passengers have been held hostage by a broken privatised railway for too long - it's time we took back our railway.

Solidarity,

Cat, Alice, Pascale, Chris, and Ellen - the We Own It team
