Tube union RMT today called for an urgent statement from London Mayor Boris Johnson on reports in the Times this morning that he is on the verge of taking the Tube Lines operation back into public ownership - killing off once and for all the PPP disaster on London Underground.
RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said today:
"If the reports are true that Tube Lines is at last being taken back under public control it would be a welcome development and would kill off the privatisation disaster on the tube once and for all.
"Rather than finding out about such an important development through leaks to the press, staff and passengers are entitled to hear it direct from Boris Johnson himself.
"This will be a recognition on a massive scale that transport privatisation does not work and RMT's campaign to roll out the renationalisation of the rail network will continue regardless of who forms the next government."
