Rail reform: share your views

The way the railways are run is changing. Rail operators are coming under public ownership. And, through its Railways Bill, the Government will bring track and trains together under the control of a new public body, Great British Railways.

Great British Railways will manage the whole network, and it could become the second largest employer in the country after the NHS.

This level of change is likely to be a huge challenge – but it’s also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make rail travel better for everyone.

At Campaign for Better Transport, we think it’s vital that passengers’ voices are heard in the rail reform process, so we are running a survey.

Through the survey, we want to find out what you think are the issues that the rail reform process must tackle. What should be Great British Railways’ top priorities?

• Making train tickets more affordable?
• Making trains more reliable?
• Improving accessibility?
• Building more lines and stations?

Or something else?

Fill in our survey

We will share the survey results with key decision makers in government and the rail industry, and through our public campaigning. And while we can’t guarantee what this will lead to, Campaign for Better Transport has a track record of successfully making change happen.

Please do fill in the survey – it will take around 10 minutes and you do not need any special knowledge of how the railways are run.

Let’s seize this opportunity to improve rail for everyone.
