Today we've renationalised the UK's largest train operator.
Passengers will see fewer last-minute cancellations, cleaner toilets and more services to Gatwick Airport.
We are building Great British Railways. 🇬🇧🚆

The UK’s largest train operator’s services have been taken into public ownership.
Long time coming this - MPs first asked the government to look at oversight of non-police prosecutions four years ago. Also an examination of the paper-based fast track for minor offences which is another big deal with evidnce of injustices - partic for vulnerable: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Another big rail moment today, as South Western gets its first GBR train.
Since coming into public ownership, a new fleet of trains has been rolling out, giving passengers more spacious, comfortable and air conditioned journeys.
We're building a railway you can be proud of. 🇬🇧🚆
Starting as I mean to go on. Cat and canvassing content. Good to be out with the team in West Swindon today. This one is for you @petersketch.bsky.social!
It's more than a new look. We're making big changes.
In the first 100 days of nationalisation, passengers in the south east will see more services, fewer delays and cleaner carriages.
Under this government our trains serve passengers, not shareholders.

This Government is getting on with the job: we’ve now banned the online bots which have been scraping up driving test slots. This will help to prevent the exploitation of learners and will help to drive down test waiting times.👇🚗
