C2c Trains Move to Public Ownership Today - Here's What to Expect
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 20 – The Labour Government’s rail nationalisation programme continues with c2c transfer, maintaining an 89% passenger satisfaction rating under public ownership for services between London and south Essex.
- On Sunday 2025, the c2c train operator, which provides routes linking London Fenchurch Street station with destinations in south Essex, was brought into public ownership under the Department for Transport.
- This nationalisation followed the 2024 Public Ownership Act and Labour's 2024 pledge to bring railways back under public control to address fragmentation and rising costs.
- C2c, which had been operated by Trenitalia since 2017 with an 89% customer satisfaction rating, became the sixth operator taken into public hands as part of the Great British Railways integration plan.
- Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander announced that starting this Sunday, passengers will have access to trains operated under public ownership, focusing on providing high-quality, cohesive services while addressing longstanding issues.
- While supporters highlight benefits such as improved reliability and community growth, Conservative MP Jerome Mayhew warned nationalisation risks higher taxpayer costs due to increased leasing expenses.
