Privatisation is the result of lazy governments absolving themselves of their responsibilities. British Rail simply suffered from lack of investment by such governments.

Mark Grocott, FlintBring it back. It should not have been sold off in the first place so that fat cats could get rich.
Trish Harewood, GodmanchesterWe need an integrated system run by one body with even prices, not bargain basement for some and exorbitant for the workers.
Carol Cook, LeedsPlease re-unify the rail network.
Nicola Mortimer-Stokes, CheltenhamRailways and all essential services need to be run as public services which are much, much more trusted than big business. We have bad banks, and profiteering water companies too.
Ted Goodhew, MaidenheadI was a teacher for 42 years in the public sector. The Conservatives want to privatise education and the NHS, and I think both would be disastrous, just like the railways.
