Your Views
Philip Wallace, SwindonI would like to see the rail system under public ownership, with a promise of constant investment, and not left to run down.
Paul Gardener, WallaseyI left BR in 1995 after 18 years service, as I could see bad things happening because the changes that were made after privatisation (Potters Bar, Hatfield.)
Rob Hammond, BrightonPrivatisation and franchising has cost the taxpayer more than a publicly run service would, with no improvement in services.
Peter Elvin, GranthamRailways need to be nationalised. At the moment they are for the rich only.
Keith Gray, RothburyRailways, like the supply of water and power, should be seen as common goods, provided out of taxation and run for the benefit of all.

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
