No competition, no investment, still being subsidised with taxpayers’ money going into private hands and outrageous fare rises.
Your Views
David Pigden, BristolA private network never worked. There are high fares, low service and a total disgrace.
Jacqueline Rattray, LondonPrivatisation has been shown to not work. Taxpayers are paying three times what they would if the railways were nationalised. Performance is down and fares are up.
Matthew Wright, SouthamptonI’m tried and fed up of having to pay money to stand up and get crushed against a door or seat. The British Rail Network is on the bring of collapse, we need our rail back
Glyn Pope, BarryI am at a complete loss as to why we have these different companies. People should be encouraged to use public transport, to save the pollution of their own cars.
Adrian Bryan, NorwichPrivatised rail companies are a joke. Prices have consistently risen above inflation and the service has not improved. It costs more for a return ticket for petrol.
