Campaigning with Maria Eagle MP & Manuel Cortes

The East Coast is yours – its owned by the Government on behalf of all tax payers. So that every pound that is made by East Coast is returned to us!

Thats is over £800 million will have been returned to the government by end of this financial year.

But the coalition government now plan to sell it off – putting money from your fares straight into the hands of shareholders. This is a dogmatic privatisation decision by the coalition government to poush ahead with something that is unnecessary and financial irresponsible.

Lets keep the East Coast in public hands ensuring that money from the fares continues to be reinvested to improve the service.
