Re-nationalise or stop all subsidies. If the private sector is so great why do they need public money?
Your Views
David Servant, PontefractA national, not-for-profit railway network, properly funded is the only way forward. The current system is unaccountable and a joke.
David Harney, BromleyTrains are too expensive. The railway is needed by everyone so should be kept cheap and not run as a private profit-making business.
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.
John Heap, WetherbyAll privatisations of publicly-owned infrastructure assets were driven by commercial interests and have not served the public well – an abdication of responsibility.
Billie Reynolds, ReadingBritish Rail was a public asset which has been given to private companies to exploit to make profit. Bring it back into public ownership now.

The public ownership of Scotland's Railways makes it much easier for The Scottish Government to cut fares to help encourage more rail use 👏 When Great British Railways is established we need to see #PeakFaresGoneForGood all over Britain 🚆 Heidi Alexander? @top fans ... See MoreSee Less
