Hundreds of DfT civil servants to be moved to state-owned rail operator
Briefly

The government aims to cut Whitehall posts by transferring hundreds of civil servants from the Department for Transport to the state-owned rail operator. Ministers have emphasized the necessity for cost-saving measures without immediate redundancies. However, staff may choose to leave, considering potential job losses. A formal consultation process will begin, likely leading to around 300 employees being relocated to DfT Operator Limited by integrating current train operators. The broader vision includes renationalizing all passenger services under Great British Railways to eliminate fragmentation in railway operations.
