"The Railways Bill could allow companies within Great British Railways to have private shareholders... These companies could carry out any GBR function - even train operations or infrastructure management... We shouldn't be creating a back door that allows privatisation to creep in."

Most said that they would be more likely to travel by rail if fares were reduced, with almost six in 10 telling the Survation survey that public ownership should involve passenger representatives on the board of Great British Railways (GBR).

With more than half of train-operating companies now in public ownership, the campaign group and supporting MPs have said that fare cuts will create a “virtuous circle” in the railway."
