I agree. What we are seeing is legal larceny for the privatised railways to make annual profits in excess of 100% and still accept public subsidies.

David Gray-Clough, HarrogateThey were told it wouldn’t work. No other country has such a fragmented system. Unify the lot, track, signalling, rolling stock and stations.
Alan Cox, EdinburghPlease keep the tracks in public hands. It isn’t perfect but it’s so much better than the private alternative.
Darran Strutt, DoncasterYou (the government) privatise the railway then expect us to pay for a new line costing billions, yet you take the profit from the railways and give us nothing back.
David Brackley, HarrogateMost of Europe’s governments subsidise their rail networks. Why not Britain?
Will Wilkie, BridlingtonIt shouldn’t cost the same as a flight to another country to travel from Kings Cross to Edinburgh. Private companies worked in the past, but not in the modern era.
