Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander stated, 'For too long, the British public have had to put up with rail services which simply don't work. A complex system of private train operators has too often failed its users.' This highlights the issues faced by passengers under the current private ownership model and emphasizes the government’s commitment to rectify these longstanding problems through public ownership.
The government emphasizes that nationalisation aims to cut delays and cancellations: 'Starting with journeys on South Western Railway, we're switching tracks by bringing services back under public control to create a reliable rail network that puts customers first.' This reflects the administration's dedication to prioritizing passenger needs and enhancing the reliability of rail services.
Heidi Alexander further elaborated, 'Our broken railways are finally on the fast track to repair and rebuilding a system that the British public can trust and be proud of again.' This statement succinctly captures the government's vision for restoring public confidence in rail services through nationalisation.
