You have until 18 October to have your say about how rail services are run in this country. This summer, the new government launched its Reforming Rail Franchising public consultation.
The Bring Back British Rail campaign is demanding an end to the bitty and inefficient franchise system, in favour of a fully integrated, publically owned rail network which is run as one organisation for passengers rather than profits.

We need to bring back British rail for the sake of our international competitiveness. The present franchise system and the resulting extortionate rail fares are driving business away from Britain. As such the current system is a threat to national reconstruction after the recent recession. We must rebuild our country and to do this we need a fully integrated and affordable public transport system centred on the British railways. Together with our excellent international passenger shipping lines the railways can bring back cost effective and convenient travel from all over Europe to the UK. I commend our excellent railway and shipping history to you and warmly invite you to arrange all your international and local travel with the help of our Railway and Shipping website: http://www.brightconnections.fr.gd We are here to bring business back to the UK and bringing back British Rail is a certain way to help achieve this. With very best regards, Paul Bright CEO brightconnections.fr.gd
