Dear Charlie O'Macauley,As a constituent I am concerned that while fares rise - and the timetables are in chaos - cuts are being made to services and staffing across our entire rail network.
There are fewer staff at stations, ticket offices are closing, guards are being removed from trains and essential rail maintenance and engineering is being cut, meaning a less safe service.
I would be grateful if you could support a publicly owned railway, with affordable fares and safe staffing levels.
This includes Thameslink, services from Mill Hill East, Brent Cross, HS1, Crossrail, Crossrail 2, and an outer orbital route, as well as a better deal for rail investment outside of London. Tube fares for a Zone 1-4 travelcard have increased up £252 a year since Labour promised to freeze tube fares... While a Green Party mayor could have saved Zone 5 commuters an annual £299. This is unaffordable.
Yours sincerely,
Ben Samuel
