Your Views
Antony Woolley, NottinghamPublic transport is a basic right that should never be run for the profit of private companies.
Jason Fisher, StevenageThe railways should be owned by the people and run for the people.
Janet Bird, SheffieldI am fighting HS2 which plans to run through my back garden – the 50 billion would be better spent on the existing rail services which will benefit all instead of the few.
Shirley Corcoran, LiverpoolWe all knew privatisation was a bad idea so admit it and reverse it.
Mary Watson, LondonI am sick of public money subsidising private companies and shareholders. Give it back to us – we paid for it after all!
