End the current farce of increasing fares just to line the pockets of the fat cats.
Your Views
Robert Barry, Forest Gate, LondonRailways should be run as a public service, to complement other transport and logistics, not compete with them. Funding also needs to be protected from government whims.
Mike Taylor, SheffieldPeople should benefit, not corporations. Privatisation gives a poorer, more expensive option. No examples of improved service/cost-effectiveness with rail privatisation.
Edmund Preston, KinderIt’s long overdue. It’s time to admit mistakes. The French and Germans both have national rail systems as well as buying bits of ours.
David Fagan, LiverpoolI’m fed up with privatised rail and being forced to opt for the car too many times.
John Heap, WetherbyAll privatisations of publicly-owned infrastructure assets were driven by commercial interests and have not served the public well – an abdication of responsibility.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.4 CommentsComment on Facebook
