Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail

The Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail is a UK government initiative aimed at improving the rail network by creating a more passenger-focused system. It proposes establishing a new organization called Great British Railways, which would oversee and coordinate train services across the country. The plan aims to make fares fairer, improve punctuality, enhance customer service, and encourage investment in infrastructure. By replacing fragmented management with a unified structure, the goal is to provide more reliable, efficient, and better-value rail travel for passengers.
