Neil Duncan-Jordan, Labour MP for Poole, supports new research stating that season ticket prices could have been reduced by up to 12.6% if train leasing companies had reinvested shareholder dividends instead of distributing them. Participating in a tug of war in Parliament Square on April 15, he criticized government rail legislation for failing to prioritize passengers. He emphasized Labour’s commitment to public ownership of railways, citing the financial burden of fare increases post-privatization. Duncan-Jordan has proposed amendments to the Railways Bill aimed at reforming rolling stock ownership, advocating for greater passenger rights and accountability.
