It is so obvious that we need a unified, nationalised railway, and the vast majority of the British people think so too.

Theodora Ford, ColchesterTransport is a vital service. It cannot be left in the hands of a disjointed collection of private concerns who’s first priority is to make a profit at our expense.
Eddie Klos, SheffieldHow can a fragmented service serve the needs of the UK? Co-ordination and integration of all public transport services is what is required, not mindless competition
Toby Morrison, LondonI feel that there is too much focus on profits and not customer service. Higher fares don’t seem to mean a better service. Bring back national rail.
Jonathan Coope, NottinghamIt should never have been privatised. Our privatised railways are the best advert I can think of for nationalising the railways.
Katie Faddy, WinchesterTransport is one of the lifelines creating a better, more equitable and connected society. It should not be run for private profit.
