The Conservative Government have announced the biggest shake up of Britain’s railways and launch a new era for passengers for 25 years with the creation of new public body Great British Railways – a single, familiar brand with united, accountable leadership.
Simpler, modern fares will be delivered, starting with new flexible season tickets on sale from 21 June and a new Great British Railways website for all tickets and clearer compensation and reforms support delivery of a financially sustainable railway as country recovers from coronavirus (COVID-19), with new contracts focused on punctuality and improved efficiency, making it easier and cheaper to plan maintenance, renewal and upgrades.
