ok, so: for the most part, private companies are not in charge of running our railways. they are contracted by the government to run services, and they receive no ticket revenue for this - instead they are paid directly by the government for the running costs + a small %.

so just from this alone, you can see that a huge portion of the uk's rail network is publicly owned. one of the issues is rolling stock - this is largely owned by private companies called ROSCOs. labour have *not* said that they will change this.

hire more staff, order new, reliable rolling stock, and lower ticket prices to increase ridership. i think this will happen - but not to the extent that is needed. so, to those who say that labour's plans are excellent, and to those who say they amount to nothing

@LeeCEldridge @Kalidog4 @SenSanders the problem with that is a lot of state leaders will base minimum wage off of what works best for the companies and billionaires that fund them. everyone needs a 15 dollar min. wage. it should be much higher is more expensive places, but a federal minimum is a good thing.

it's a favourite unit in the fleet kind of day! (entirely because of the number). starting with some hadfield action, later on i'll be off to the airport and then to crewe. no safety critical duties when taking photos, of course.

hi, @EastMidRailway . this sticker was left stuck on a wall in a vestibule of 222003. it has since been removed. the question "what is a woman?" is a transphobic dogwhistle, and the QR code leads to the website of kellie-jay keen, a prominent anti-trans activist (1/2)

this works slightly different for TOCs (train operating companies) that are owned by the government. the franchise names have been kept, but there are no private companies involved in the actual running of these trains. different again for open access operators -

@MrMark_James @YouGov and yet less than 40% of queer people use an acronym that doesn't contain the Q. perhaps it's not been offensive for a very long time? "gay" was (and still is) used offensively when i was growing up, no LGBTQ+ person wants that word to not be said.

@tw33tsr4kidz @the_transit_guy ...no, our primary public transport goal is to make it usable for as many people as possible. that can be done while acknowledging the ridiculous amount of parking in US cities.

the railway is fairly understaffed, and this is a nationwide issue. whether the TOC is run by the government or by a private company doesn't seem to have much impact on this. things will only improve if our next government actually makes the effort to resolve disputes,

she had 9 missed calls from work (she's left to help out for 2 hours until they close). she's had nothing to eat (no, a locket and a paracetamol doesn't count), and she didn't have her phone in there so that must have been such an unpleasant 7 hours and i feel so bad for her 😭

these companies typically run a few services per day and (afaik) are not subsided - they handle their own finances entirely. that's the TOCs. next we have the actual infrastructure. network rail owns our railway infrastructure, and is government owned.

@MiguelSmithLD @AndyBurnhamGM - different journey - some trips can't be planned in advance - trip takes almost twice as long as man-london with like β…“ distance - london is the most expensive city to travel to in the uk, so comparing with a trip that is hundreds of miles away is ridiculous.

@TheRobinson1982 @POLITlCSUK brits don't want conservatism. 9% isn't a lot. labour is the closest to what most brits want, which puts the average brit between centre left and centre.
