The privatised rail company bosses are boasting that many more people are using the railways since privatisation. That’s because the road network is overcrowded.
Your Views
Eira Johns, Bexhill-on-SeaThe railway in the Southeast is relied upon by commuters but is being made inaccessible to many because of the unjustifiable cost of rail fares.
Jeanne Woodcraft, BerkhamstedI’m fed-up with subsidising this privatisation.
Douglas Elliott, SheffieldRe-nationalise all the rail network and get a grip on the fares and conditions (like overcrowding.)
Theresa Marsden, PeterboroughEast Coast is putting money back into the public purse rather than into profits for shareholders. That is as it should be. Every privatisation raises prices.
Ashley Wells, LoughboroughI have to live with Southern Rail every day. They are terrible. I want a system that is primarily about serving passengers, not shareholders.

We welcome West Midlands Railway being brought back into public ownership today ๐ฅณ But, if control over these lines is devolved to the Mayor of the West Midlands in the future, there is nothing in the current #RailwaysBill to prevent re-privatisation ๐จ Heidi Alexander for Swindon South and Keir Mather MP must sort this! @top fans ...
