everyone, this is a reminder to uninstall trainline. did you know that you can use the northern app to buy a ticket from brighton to dover? same with pretty much any other train company's app. just please, don't use trainline.
Trainline charging £5.49 fee for booking a train ticket?! No, thanks.

well today was special! first train on my first solo shift was 195108 on a service from manchester oxford road to liverpool. i was on 195s and 331s all day - hopefully my next shift on monday gives me some legacy traction for some variety 😅

to address the actual claim here, HS2 *would* be a white elephant if it was just old oak common to birmingham interchange, but GPEW policy is to build it in full including the eastern leg & northern powerhouse rail, with several amendments to improve the delivery and results. 2/n

those against HS2 talk about how we should focus on improving local transport. HS2 (in full) does exactly this. the reason local links in many areas aren't great is because there's no capacity to run them alongside intercity trains. HS2 and NPR solve this in many areas. 5/n

one amendment is for higher scrutiny on HS2 and requires a net biodiversity gain. another explicitly calls for capacity release to be prioritised for local/regional services and rail freight. the final one calls for HS2 to be reclassified as england only 3/n

as opposed to england and wales, which would result in wales being compensated under the barnett formula. these combined transform the current mismanaged HS2 project into a green, useful, high speed railway, which this country desperately needs more of. 4/n

freight is also staying in private hands according to labour. essentially, that means that this massive groundbreaking announcement boils down to.... very little, actually. very little will become "publicly owned" that isn't already that way in practice.

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 %.

in the rush to cram as many passengers on trains as possible (for profit), TOCs have abandoned the idea of having enough space for all these people to put luggage. the result? ridiculous levels of inaccessibility. it's ludicrous.

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

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.
