Grant Shapps is wobbling on private rail bailouts

Dear
John
Reports over the last few days suggest that the government may be about to renationalise our railways!

We need YOUR help to tell the government that we need public ownership now:
Email the Transport Secretary ([link removed])
Public ownership of the railway would allow us to
* prioritise safety and social distancing as we continue to fight coronavirus
* invest public money in better services
* create the green public transport system that will help us tackle the climate crisis

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

A decision from Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, is expected very soon. First Group is on the verge of collapse and begging for a bailout.

But WE the public are already footing the bill for the £3.5 billion paid to bail out the rail industry since the start of the coronavirus outbreak. Now is the time to take control and invest our billions in running public transport directly and efficiently.

Take back our trains! ([link removed])
Passengers around the country are standing up to say enough is enough. Together with Bring Back British Rail and the Association of British Commuters, we're ramping up the pressure on the government. The 20,000 emails they have received so far will have made them pause!

Will you add your voice? ([link removed])

This is our moment - passengers want public ownership!

Thank you so much for taking action.

PS We can’t just go back to the way things were before the pandemic - with private shareholders profiting off of our public transport network. You can help Grant Shapps to choose public ownership [link removed]
