Railways are structurally hierarchical industries, characterised by highly specific assets and need to be managed in the public interest if they are to be efficient.
Your Views
Tim Williams, SloughAs someone who worked on the railway, what was once a reasonably good network
Joe Shaw, ManchesterWe need to take back what is collectively ours and run it for the collective good and profit as a nation, for us and for our visitors, not just for the 1% who profit from us.
Josh Cluderay, LondonHow about being able to travel across the country for less than it costs to fly to another country entirely?
