The Department for Transport confirmed that South Western Railways will be the first of three private train companies to switch to public control, ensuring reliable rail services.
Transport Secretary, Heidi Alexander, emphasized that switching to public control will foster a rail network that prioritizes customers and restores public trust in railways.
The public services will be managed by the DfT Operator, which will be integrated into the new Great British Railways, enhancing rail system reliability.
The government's extensive reforms aim to unify track and train services under GBR, creating a more efficient and reliable transport system.
