Rail privatisation has failed to deliver on its promises, says report

The Great Train Robbery – written for the TUC by the Centre for Research on Social-Cultural Change (CRESC) at the University of Manchester – shows that private train companies are heavily dependent upon the public purse to enable them to run services.
