CAMPAIGN AGAINST TUBE PRIVATISATION
CATP is a practical campaign which publicises and leaflets passengers about developments on the tube; we have even stood candidates in public elections.

CATP represents supporters of:
- a unified and integrated transport system in the capital
- public ownership of all lines, maintenance and rolling stock, and public sector employment of all staff
- a safer, more efficient system which is planned and fully accountable to the electors of London
- public finance which can break the long cycle of under-investment, and no short-term "solutions" such as PPP which produced the shambles of Metronet´s collapse
- an environmentally-sound transport policy which can mean reduced private cars use
- an affordable tube service, accessible to all, including disabled people
