#Railnatter Episode 218: What four years of rail reform has delivered
Manage episode 423424379 series 2968980
With the election approaching, we do a page-turn of the Public Accounts Committee's report into rail reform in Britain, as published back in May.
Six years have passed since the DfT said the railway needed reform, and four years have passed since initiating that reform programme, via its white paper (we've been through the ill-fated Williams-Shapps Plan For Rail already) in 2021. We were supposed to have Great British Railways by March 2024. No such organisation has appeared.
The reason it didn't tells us a lot about the challenges that the next government will face in changing the rail industry for the better - whether radically or incrementally.
