Campaign to Bring Back British Rail

The Campaign to Bring Back British Rail is a pressure group in the United Kingdom whose objective is the renationalisation of the British Rail network, which was privatised in the 1990s. In addition to its representation of ordinary passengers, on whose behalf it campaigns for improvements to rail services, it undertakes research for the purpose of lobbying political parties towards the ends of reintroducing a vertically-integrated, publicly owned and operated British railway network. It has over 150,000 supporters UK wide, accumulated since it was founded in 2009, and is managed from two hubs - in Glasgow and London.

Several train operating companies have been brought under state control by operators of last resort including Caledonian Sleeper, LNER, Northern, ScotRail, Southeastern, TransPennine Express and Transport for Wales. The Labour Party has committed itself to renationalising the rail network should it win the 2024 general election.
