• Lifetime 0-licences to replace the current five-year licences.
• Hiving-off much of British Rail, including its Red Star parcels operation and its freight services.
• Ending the Post Office's letters monopoly.
• Privatising the remaining 39 local authority bus companies and deregulating London Buses.
• Privatising the RTITB.
