Britain should have a unified transport system that is affordable to all.
Your Views
Roger Croston, ChesterThe privatised railway is a fragmented system that is not integrated.
David Holmes, LeedsPrivatisation does not work. Private companies have failed badly in most aspects of railway activity, including the decimation of the UK’s rolling stock manufacturers.
Joyce Wood, NorthamptonWe should re-nationalise all our sold-off utilities. No-one asked us for permission.
Matthew Milnes, BingleyThe punctuality rate British Rail achieved in its last year (about 90%) was not matched by the privatised industry for about 15 years, despite the public investment.
Andrew Hall, YorkThe current set-up is not sustainable. Only a country can run its infrastructure – and a country wouldn’t spend billions on the old technology of HS2.
