Could these two major London train services soon come under public ownership?

Mick Lynch and Mick Whelan argue that taking London’s rail network under public ownership would reverse the failures of privatisation and improve service efficiency.

Public ownership would reinvest profits into the rail network, allowing for significant savings to government and enhancing passenger services by focusing on public good over profit.

The leaders express that transitioning to public ownership would ease governance structures in London, aligning them with the national policy direction to enhance local rail services.

They highlighted that the current focus on profit for individual operators leads to inefficiencies, suggesting that a shift to public ownership could lead to substantial improvements.
