    Bring Back British Rail

    In 2009, Harrison – the self-professed ‘Che Guevara of trainspotters’ – founded the national Bring Back British Rail campaign to popularise the idea of re-nationalising our public transport system. Now with more than 150,000 supporters across Facebook, Twitter, Riseup and its online petitions, Harrison continues to coordinate the campaign with the help of a small network of volunteers around the UK.

It’s fantastic

Looks like it’s sold out already…is there any way to bags to if there’s cancellations?

Yeh me too Ellie. If any cancellations I’d love a ticket!

Loved this show when I saw it at the CCA last year - and I got in via a waitlist.

Any German speakers out there? 🇩đŸ‡Ē Check out this brilliant feature about Bus Regulation: The Musical & the campaigns to re-regulate buses in city-regions across the UK on Deutschlandfunk Kultur đŸ“ģ🚍đŸŽĩđŸ›ŧ ... See MoreSee Less
