Consultation runs from today until 23.59 on Tuesday 15th April. 

Consultation description
We are seeking views on new policies to be included in the forthcoming Railways Bill, which will enable the establishment of Great British Railways (GBR). GBR will be a single directing mind that will run our rail infrastructure and passenger services in the public interest.

The overall aim of these proposed reforms is to provide a railway that works better for both passengers and taxpayers across Great Britain. They also include:

• the establishment of a new passenger watchdog
  
• reform of fares and online retail of tickets
  
• a new statutory role for devolved leaders in governing, managing, planning and developing the rail network
  
• streamlining processes and reducing regulatory burdens to empower GBR to to deliver the best service for railway users
  
• ensuring the private sector continues to play a key role, including a statutory duty for GBR to promote rail freight
