Standard text book economics tells you that private ownership of a natural monopoly is a bad idea. Train service is cheaper and better in countries with public ownership.
Your Views
Ian Stevens, PenzanceIt’s used by the people and should therefore be owned by the people.
Linden Ross, DunbarFares too high, fare structure incomprehensible, need to invest if we want public to be greener and use the railways before the car, need to be as efficient as Europe.
John Stephens, Welwyn Garden CityOur railways belong to us. They should not be run for profit other than to raise money to improve the service. We gave the railways to the world, now we want ours back.
Jacqueline Wilson, Herne BayRail needs to be subsidised by the government. Prices have become ridiculous when compared to incomes, and inflation. As a tax payer I feel, used and abused.
Martin Davison, ChesterfieldPrivatisation has increased costs for passengers and taxpayers. Also foreign ownership means profits are siphoned out of the UK and we lose tax.
