Alan Roberts, DingwallPublic rail transport isn’t working. It’s no longer a reliable way of getting to where you need to be on time. In the north of Scotland people are returning to their cars.
Tim Mourant, BristolSNCF and Deutsche Bahn can bid for British rail franchises to help fund their state-run railways yet Directly Operated Railways aren’t allowed to bid for East Coast.
Howard Badder, NottinghamGet it done.
Steve Hardy, RhylBring back nationalisation to reduce fares and generate more revenue for the Country.
Patricia Wilson, MerseysideIt should never have been privatised and now it’s gone to ruin, no money has been spent on it and all has been banked for the owners.
