Gwilym Selwood, BrightonClearly Mrs Thatcher was right in her claims for privatisation. That’s why we are all here. Jolly well done. Thanks for everything.
Yvonne Jones, CwmbranTrain fares should be affordable for all, not just the elite who usually have their tickets paid by the taxpayer anyway.

Stuart Curran, CooksbridgeInvest taxpayers’ money in the rail network, not in corporate welfare schemes.
