Fast tracking rail reform at the heart of a new government
Jonathan Edwards, EMEA Market Development Leader, discussed the importance of immediate action to revitalise the United Kingdom’s rail system under the newly elected Labour government. He notes that while Labour’s pledges are promising, more detailed policies are needed to address key challenges such as ticket pricing reform and delivering a low-emission rail network.
The first 100 days, however, are critical to keeping the momentum going across the rail and transport sectors more broadly. Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh, has said she intends for the Department of Transport to ‘move fast and fix things,’ and this government must now be steadfast in its commitments to the public and be bold and brave in shaping a better, brighter future for UK rail.”
