Peter Temple, DerbyIt will cost more next year to travel by train from Sheffield to Exeter to visit my girlfriend, than it does at the moment for me to fly home from Germany. Ridiculous.
Jeff Hayden, SalisburyI used to think British Rail was terrible. I now see that this was not the case when the alternative is privatised rail companies. I sincerely apologise to British Rail.
Yvonne Maule, LondonHow does it make economic sense to privatise an asset in order to save money when it has in fact resulted in triple the cost to run it.
Steven Peacock, ChelmsfordBefore our national rail system becomes exclusively only for the rich and famous, re-nationalise it for affordable travel for everyone.
Nick West, LondonIt makes total sense.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.3 CommentsComment on Facebook
