Government Gives Green Light To New Wave Of Rail Profiteering
Submitted by rmtlondon on 29 March, 2013 - 05:26RAIL UNION RMT warned this morning that the Government has given the green light to a new wave of rail privatisation and profiteering with the announcement that the great rail sell off is back with a vengeance.
In an announcement this morning the Government has set out a timetable for the re-privatisation of the East Coast, currently run in the public sector after two catastrophic private failures, and a new schedule for extending, on favourable terms to the private sector, the raft of franchises suspended due to the shambles on the West Coast mainline.
