ARTICLES RELATED TO Privatisation of British Rail - Privatisation under Labour | | | |  Privatisation of British Rail - Privatisation under Labour: Encyclopedia II - Privatisation of British Rail - Privatisation under LabourThe Labour government (elected in 1997 once the majority of the privatisation process had been completed) reneged on its earlier commitment to keep the railways in the public sector. Instead, it left the new structure in place, even completing the privatisation process with the last remaining sales. Its one innovation in the early years was the creation of the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA), initially in shadow form until the 2000 Transport Act received Royal Assent.
However, Labour was forced to intervene in the wake of the Hatfield ...

| | | | Privatisation of British Rail - Privatisation under Labour: Encyclopedia II - Privatisation of British Rail - 1980s developments The Thatcher administration developed a policy of selling off the nationalised industries into private ownership, or privatisation. As far as the railways were concerned, the government's policy had little effect during the whole period of the Thatcher administration except in relatively small areas, as it was considered that privatising core railway operations would be too difficult.
The chain of British Transport Hotels was sold off, mainly one hotel at a time, in 1982; Sealink (U.K.) Limited was sold in 1984 to Sea Containers Limit ...

Infrastructure Owner: Railtrack took over ownership of all track, signalling and stations. Railtrack let out most of the stations to the passenger train operators, managing only a handful of the largest city termini itself, maintenance and renewal of the infrastructure was also contracted out to British Rail Infrastructure Services, leaving Railtrack's directly-employed staff consisting mostly of signallers. In the original ...

| | | | Privatisation of British Rail - Privatisation under Labour: Encyclopedia II - Privatisation of British Rail - The move to privatisation In 1991, following the apparently successful Swedish example and wishing to create an environment where new rail operators could enter the market, the European Union issued EU Directive 91/440. This required of all EU member states to separate 'the management of railway operation and infrastructure from the provision of railway transport services, separation of accounts being compulsory and organizational or institutional separation being optional', the idea being that the track operator would charge the train operator a transparent fee to r ...

| | | | Privatisation of British Rail - Privatisation under Labour: Encyclopedia II - Privatisation of British Rail - Situation in 1979 Historically, the pre-nationalisation railway companies were almost entirely self-sufficient, including, for example, the production of the steel used in the manufacturing of rolling stock and rails. As a consequence of the nationalisation of the railways in 1948 some of these activities had been hived off to other nationalised industries and institutions, e.g. "Railway Air Services Limited" was one of the forerunners of British Airways; the railways’ road transport services, which had carried freight, parcels and passengers' luggage to and from railheads, ultimately b ...

| | | | Privatisation of British Rail - Privatisation under Labour: Encyclopedia II - Privatisation of British Rail - The Railways Act 1993 The Railways Bill, published in 1993, established an extremely complex structure for the rail industry. British Rail was to be broken up into over 100 separate companies, with all relationships between the successor companies controlled by legal contracts and supervised by the Office of the Rail Regulator and, in the case of the passenger railway, the Office of Passenger Rail Franchising (OPRAF).
The passage of the Railways Bill was controversial. The public was unconvinced of the virtues of rail privatisation and there was much lobby ...
