- The Conservatives will today (July 17) admit that the privatization of the railways under John Major in the 1990s was a mistake that inflicted costs on both passengers and the taxpayer as well as hindering expansion, according to this report published by The Guardian.
Launching a Conservative Rail Review today the shadow transport secretary Chris Grayling will say that privatization pushed up the cost of running the railway system -- and hence fares -- and the party will not seek to re-privatize the system if it returns to power.
