Unions criticise rail reform plans as missed opportunity

Rail union leaders and politicians have attacked plans to reform the railways, accusing the Government of merely “papering over the cracks”. Labour said it raised more questions than answers while a campaign group accused ministers of “rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic”. Manuel Cortes, leader of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association, said: “The Conservatives have admitted that their Frankenstein privatisation experiment on our railways has failed and the franchising of train services has hit the buffers. “Rather than take the bold action that our rail network desperately needs, this is an attempt merely to paper over the cracks. “A concessions-based model will still see passengers and taxpayer money leak out of our industry in the form of dividend payments for the greedy shareholders of the private operators who will hold them.
