Renationalise the water industry as well.
I'd nationalise the water as well, let stop the very greedy corporate business, having enormous profits , and the share holders. Its a disgrace, .
What experience of nationalisation? Everything in the UK has been sold off for peanuts for foreign investors and the entire show is in total collapse. Private companies don't work for essential public services. These services should be operated for the public. Not for foreign profit.
it was thatcher idea.....it will bankrupt the next generation
Rail fares in the UK are ridiculous.The service doesn't justify the high costs.Why is a return the same cost as a single?
They are literally making up the pricing at this point and seeing what they can get away with
South Western Railway operates at a profit so, in theory, they coild decrease the fair or, at least, stop increasing the fair under DfT operation.
@@mjl2904 this is nonsense, the fares are basically set by the Department for Transport
will prices drop on rail fares which are total rip off and have been for years
Probably not, everything in this country is for profit and since Covid the mindset is how much can we charge and still get away with it
Indeed no mention of that, in short any thing the government meddle in always becomes a mess as we know.
when my friend worked for the national rail network eg government ran he loved it .. don’t rush on a weekday then get loads of overtime at weekends
No nationalised industry has ever shown a profit
PUBLICANNING ALL MEANS OF PRODUCTION INCLUDING RAILS, ROADS, PORTS, INSTITUTIONS IS WHAT OUGHT TO BE: WITH ELECTED HEAD OF STATE, GOVERNMENT, JUDGES, HEADS OF MILITARY
The councils have ruined the bus services. They need fixed pronto. People losing their jobs because buses make them late everyday. The woman said there is no plans to change that just now… what is so hard for GMB to understand that? There is no plans for it just now but they might look at it in the future, I don’t see them taking away over 60’s free bus travel but if they do just move to Scotland and you’ll get free bus travel all the time for been over 60.
How have they? The Tories sold off almost all publicly owned/council run bus companies
Presumably this has been brought to the attention of GMB editors because it affects three former South-East of England operators. Hopefully Heidi will not be as London-centric as the media.
I wonder how long she will be in this position 😂
Hours. She said this nationalisation save money, then had no idea how much it’ll cost 😂😂
When privatisation started, SouthWestTrains was first off the rank. I have used their services over three visits to the UK. Without exception all services were punctual, trains were clean, staff were very helpful ( I experienced bus replacement on one occasion, and it worked well) and stations were tidy. I travelled in rush times ( not rush hour, that has long gone) so I was on their services through normal timetabled train runs from 0630 to late evening. They returned a dividend to taxpayers unrivalled by any other TOC. When SWR took over things went downhill, fortunately I missed their unreliable service and very late arrival of new trains.
It will be interesting indeed to see the Government run it as good as SWT, but how long are we talking before marked and sustainable improvements are made?
If the present UK Government’s track record is anything to go by, it may not be in this term.
Comment from South Island, New Zealand
We will not own the rolling stock ,it's owned by private companies,and will cost expensive leasing .There will be no reduction in ticket prices .Yet another con by con merchants
The Rolling Stock question is something that I was wondering about.
@LEEFORDJAGG The Government don't even mention it ,nor the BBC
Nice to see some progress being made, at the very least.
But I thought your amazing Labour budget was going to fix everything?
At least it did not crash the economy like the lettuce’s budget…. I mean Liz Truss, the lettuce lasted longer than her.
@@mjl2904that’s because liz didn’t let business know bit by bit via rumours like how Labour did.
@@seiwarriors are u srsly trying to compare the mini budget to reeves
Nationalization. Ahhh, the old Labour Party is back.
These were already planned by the conservatives.
Nationalised railways means if you don't use the trains you still pay through your taxes.
You could say the same about education. Millions of people don't have kids. Why should they pay for schools? Also healthcare. Millions of people don't get cancer. Why should they pay for the cancer treatment of other people? Or roads. Millions of people don't drive. Why should they pay for roads? Or law enforcement. Most people aren't victims of crime every day. Why should I pay for the police, courts and prisons for other people's justice?
It's called living in a society. Economies of scale mean it's cheaper and more efficient to provide some things universally even if you rarely use it.
Your taxes still go to railways anyways, and A LOT more tax than it was. An approximate £60 billion more has been paid by the taxpayer than if we stayed under British Rail. If you want the source, have a watch of Channel 4’s Great British Railway Failures.
Explain paying 70 pound for a one way Ticket from Cardiff to Paddington. For people earning below this is absolutely expensive. It is basically indirect tax.
@@chat4783 It’s absolute extortion. Comments like the first are just people who are completely clueless to the actual day-to-day lives and operations of the railway, the taxpayer is getting a much worse deal than if we we had a privatised transport system. Even looking at the already nationalised operators, their ticket prices are on average 28% cheaper than a comparable journey on a privatised route, we can already see the results of a partially privatised system.
Great. Another service that’ll get worse and cost me. Excited for this!
The only solution to the U.K. rail industry problems is to bring in an external body from the far east, like Japan, Taiwan or even the CCP, to be given complete and direct control of the U.K. railways and aside from an initial (limited) amount of funding, any future funding and any bonuses would have to be performance-related and self-generated - the relevant laws would have to be passed in Parliament and all existing rail bodies would have to be abolished, all trade unions on the railways would have to be banned and any trade union leader advocating or attempting any rail strikes would have to be jailed - the objective would be to get standards of service up and fares down and any previously shelved or failed infrastructure projects (such as HS2) would have to be completed in half the time and for half the costs in order to gain any bonuses, which would have to be reinvested into the railways as a basic legal requirement, in the national interest
Not CCP as they will make it expensive. Taiwan or Japan would be fine.
The government already run the network and tracks which is mostly the cause of poor performance- allowing the government to run the trains on the line as well will just cause more problems
As far as I’m aware, it’s only in London that the over 60’s get free travel,if they travel after 9:30am. I live in the South West and I have to wait until I’m 67 years old. Surely the London arrangement should apply across the U.K,asap? Whether the Governments Public Ownership/Re nationalisation program will see train fares come down,significantly remains to be seen.
What is this going to cost the British public, billions, is this because you paid millions to the unions for pay rises 😮no plans not to take free bus passes, so they will 😅
I think she really meant to say 'I have no plans to axe the three bus passes ' while I am transport secretary !
How many money trees did labour plant
This should have been done years ago. Plus 100% of the fare money should go back into the cost of the railway
And nothing will improve costs will still go up and up
I rather see the water companies taken back in public ownership, the people running them ,cannot be trusted
They’re after pensioner’s bus pass now!
Just dodged the SW question!!
If its publicly owned does that mean we the public get to ride free 🤣
She’s going to drive the trains herself then ?
So let’s not be under no illusions it’s not going back to the way it was with British rail being an in-house company that does everything food build its own trains make its own rails so it can Pass all those savings onto the customer they are renationalising it because it’s a money printing machine at this point in time and they want their hands on it, Please, Mr. Putin, anytime you’re ready. I’m willing to support you.
What she doing on tv shes our local MP big shame for us resign now please Heidi
There we go again....journalists wanting cheap headlines for social media instead of getting to the root of a story. They have good guests but i cant stand Susanna's arrogance
Isn't Susanna Reid just awful?
I didn't like the bit when she said "we *_already_* mentioned that" (or words to that effect) - I don't like being told that something has "already" happened, or at least not in that tone of voice.
ERRR YOU WULDNT WOULD YA EVEN IF THE CUNNI WAS AMAZIN
