Service 6.14am, which every Sunday from London Waterloo cells in Shepperton rarely carries a lot of passengers. But this weekend will take hundreds of rail enthusiasts on that train that interrupt through the suburbs of southwestern London and Surrey.
Reason: It’s the first departure from Waterloo under newly bassy Southern western rail. The train will also file a logo Great British Railways – An organization that the government is planning to create to start almost everything Railway services in England, Wales and Scotland. So what is the exact change and why?
What will a passenger notice change?
Nothing, except that one train has been transferred with traveling great British railways and therefore will look a little different.
Nationalized Plačke Operation will have the same schedules, the same prices and the same staff as the current private operator, which is a joint venture between the Common Group and Hong Kong Corporation.
South Western Railways emphasizes in the message of passengers: “Although the legal operator changes, your experience will not.” Exactly the same as when several other railway work – LER, Transpenine Express, North and Southeast returned to public property.
Mark Smith, International Railway Guru known as a man at the headquarters 61, says “Handling companies ceased to be franchisions in pandemes. There are now only contractors. Therefore, it is already submitted by the private contractor whose management and staff return to the house.
“If anything, an invisible change of franchise on contracts during a pandemic was great, largely unnoticed by the public. This is relatively juvenile.”
So if nothing changes on Sunday, why are people excited about that?
The government has decided that this was a moment to declare renalization of nation railways before the major British railroads that were properly established two years from now.
Unlike current public-owned operators, the southern Western Railway is not nationalized as a result of the private operator who entered the difficulties – instead, it is a political decision.
Heidi Aleksandar, the Transport Secretary, says renalization “will return the railway to the passenger service and reform our broken railways, which end up 30 years of fragmentation” and “firmly put passengers in the heart of the railway”.
With private operators, ministers say the trains will lead “in the interest of passengers, not shareholders.” For the first time in decades, one person will be responsible for train and tracking (or “wheels and steel” as some railways like to say): a new director of the General Manager of Western Railways, Lawrence Bowman.
What does a long-lasting passenger mean?
The argument in favor of privatization is summarized by the minister of the railway, Peter Hendy. The removal of the private sector means that the large compound and cost panel falls – with one organization that simply focuses on how to provide the best possible service.
Although savings on paying private introducers are a minoshant element of taxpayers in the amount of Railway prevention, it will be the momentation of permanent legal battles, which involve the teams of lawyers who have caused the problem.
Instead, train and monitoring managers will agree on the best passenger solution. What happens on southern western rail from this weekend should be broadcast in other parts of the country in the coming months and years, because most of the remaining private operators return to public property.
Most but not all Railway firms?
The Transport Secretary clearly showed that the so-called open access operators will continue to address nationalized services, and others will be able to show the routes if the public would take advantage of the performance of nationalized trains.
How did the main rinal unions react?
Mick Whelan, General Secretary driver, asleff, at the right time, is the brakes from the UK economy and renovation for the privatization of the British Railway in 1994. year was stupid, ideologically, condemned. “
The largest union, RMT, welcomed the move, but it is angry that some roles in southern western rail, such as cleaning and safety, remain an external private sector.
Both unions have a look at “leveling” – so that it will pay for all staff in large British railways will be raised at the highest rates that currently pay the best-selling operator. Which, with taxpayers who currently pay £ 400 in seconds to keep the railroads, will not go well in the vault.
And each alliance has an industrial action ongoing somewhere on the network: aslef on troop troops and Rmt in Crosscoutry.
How is the plan for large British rail compares with what has been done in Europe?
It will emulate what is happening in France and Germany, where the government leads songs and most trains, with several private operators on long trails. But Italy and Spain have different, more competitive models, with angry competition on their fast networks.
