Your Views
Patricia Gore, LeedsThe truth is that the taxpayer still subsidises the railways to a huge amount. It is only privatised in the sense that the profits go to shareholders, not the taxpayer.
Raymond Howell, StevenageI strongly support the campaign for our national rail services to be brought back into public ownership, where any profits made should be returned to public coffers.
Peter Pearse, Cambridge147% on every pound they put into their business.
Raquel ThokchomRe-open closed lines and stations as well to ease traffic pollution and the loneliness and alienation so many now face.
Pip Banham, NorwichTake it back and don’t waste millions on making the London to Birmingham run quicker. It is not needed.

The public ownership of Scotland's Railways makes it much easier for The Scottish Government to cut fares to help encourage more rail use 👏 When Great British Railways is established we need to see #PeakFaresGoneForGood all over Britain 🚆 Heidi Alexander? @top fans ... See MoreSee Less
