Ann Stieglitz, WallingfordAs a frequent user of trains, it would make life better if British Rail was returned to us.
Andrew Adams, Newcastle-upon-TyneI am a frequent traveller on the East Coast mainline, both to London and Edinburgh. By far the best service is by the current provider who should keep the contract.
Richard Paines, IlfracombeRe-nationalise everything. Royal Mail makes a profit and we don’t need to sell it. The bits that don’t make a profit won’t be sold.

Robert McArdle, CoventryWe the public are sick of private companies ripping off customers. Bring the rail network back under public accountable ownership.
