After the privatization of British Rail from 1994-1997, the rail sector was fragmented into a bewildering array of different companies, fares and bosses – sometimes leaving passengers angry at poor service and blunders over timetables.
"For too long passengers have not had the level of service they deserve," British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said. "By creating Great British Railways, and investing in the future of the network, this government will deliver a rail system the country can be proud of."
