Sarah Nankivell is right if he says the nationalization of the train must succeed (A great prize, but a good risk: Why do we all need the national South Western Railway to work, May 28). While the nationalization of the South Western Railway and the government’s commitment to a publicly owned by many British railroads is well accepted in the first steps, it is not the end of the line.
Continued outsourcing of important services – like track and train, cleaning, security and station-owned elements – maintaining public ownership purposes. These outsourted roles often come with poverty wages, a lack of diseases and insufficient pension provisions, unaffected workers from black and minority communities.
Outsource also drives public funds. According to RMT analysisOutsourcing and subcontracting firms took about £ 400m per year by income from railroad contracts. This is the money that can be registered in the railway system to improve services and reduce the fare.
There is a growing support for an alternate outsourcing supported by the pledge of Labor to handle “the greatest emptiness of appearance for a generation”. The Welsh government has begun to deal with railroad services, while the Mayor in London, Sadiq KhanActive considering thousands of tube cleaners.

I don’t believe in an instant that the train operating companies will take trains better or reduce ticket prices. The performance of my local company, north, being in the public sector for a good while today, is proof that (New Dwin0 ‘: First Training Transfer Service Under Labor Started, 25 May).
But it is appropriate to call the conservative party claimed that private ownership continues to dispel for falsehood. Before privatization in 1994, British railroad receives a The taxpayer’s subsidy under £ 1bn. And it fell. Post-privatization, it satisfies more than £ 5bn at a point and now higher in 1994, however, according to the department for transportation numbers, transportation fare About a fifth In real terms of 2017, delivery of additional “secret subsidy” of £ 2bn each year because of the higher prices of travelers pay.
The challenge is now reaching financial strength for railing network in a post-pandemic network in which small commuters buy season tickets based on virtual season tickets. At least the divisions and Grotesque Executive Sipolives from the private sector industry in the past 30 years is available to help balance books.
