What the government seems to forget is that British Rail did not just run trains but also designed and engineered them and built them all with British labour.

Petra Mo, AurovilleTrains make a lot more sense at least for short to medium trips. Please.
Gareth Williams, WenvoeWe need cheaper fares and profits ploughed back into the system. Shareholders should be supporting the system now not the taxpayer, unless we re-nationalise the system.
John Stephens, BedfordThe dis-aggregated British Rail does not work for passengers; it works for shareholders.
Angela Marsh, WiganIt’s in the name – British rail. It should be run by Britain. I’m sick of over-priced tickets for trains that don’t show up.
Ann Moynihan, Leighton BuzzardThe rail network should be run for the people and any profits should be ploughed back into the system for the benefit of all, rather than as profit for shareholders
