The service of a private train operator in Southern England, including London, became the first person to return to public ownership under a government scheme to renovate the multi-prone railway of Britain.All the UK railway operators are due to being rebuilt in a major policy launched by Prime Minister Kir Stmper within the next two years, after returning to the government of Labor Party in July after 14 years in opposition.“South Western Railway is now in public ownership. And this is just the beginning,” Starmer said on X, naming the service by kickstarting its government’s plan.He vowed “with better services” with better services, “with better services, more comfortable trains”, “with better services” with renewalisation.Train passengers in Britain are suffering from continuous cancellation of high ticket prices and regular confusion, on which they can be used.Rail operations were privatized in the mid -1990s under the then conservative Prime Minister, John Major, but the rail network was public, run by network rail.Four of the 14 operators in England have already been run by the state due to poor performance in recent years, but it was originally a temporary fix before returning to the private sector.Labor won the Conservative Party in the elections last year, including promises to fix the country’s sick transport services.The law was approved in November to bring railway operators into public ownership when the contracts of private companies were over – or in the event of poor management soon – and managed by “Great British Railways”.Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said in a statement, which would abolish the “30 -year fragmentation”, but warned that “change is not going to happen overnight”.

He said, “We have always been clear that public ownership is not a silver pill, but we are actually firing this initial gun in that race for the 21st century railway, and this means that it is far from personal gain and away from public good.”In an example, how the passengers could not immediately see a lot of differences, on Sunday, a rail replacement was prescribed to include a rail replacement bus due to the first service engineering work of Southwest under public ownership.Government figures show that 4 percent of train services in Britain were canceled by 26 April in a year.The rate for southwestern was 3 percent.Rail unions-due to salary and conditions in recent years, have staged a stream of attacks due to crises caused by a cost-welcomed the state acquisition. Union’s General Secretary Mick Vehlan said, “We are happy that Britain’s Railways is being brought back, where they are in the public sector.”“Everyone in the railway industry knows that privatization … no, and does not work,” he said.Two operators serving cities and cities of South East and Eastern England will be brought back to public ownership by the end of 2025.All current contracts are scheduled to end by 2027.The UK media reported that the Renaissance of the Southwest means that one -third of the trips are now on publicly owned services.The government has said that the Renaissance will save up to £ 150 million ($ 200 million) per year as it will no longer have to pay compensation fee to the railway operators.The main rail operators in Scotland and Wales, where the transport policy is controlled by the administration developed in Edinburgh and Cardiff, is also a state owned.
