Railways (Public Sector Operators) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would give the UK government the power to operate train services directly instead of always relying on private railway companies. Currently, most trains are run by private operators under government contracts. This bill would allow the government to run some or all railways itself if it chooses to do so.

Presented by Andy Sawford.
