John Wilson, CambridgeshireNow there are so many different types of tickets in different areas, it’s impossible to be sure if you are getting a reasonable deal.
Jordan Muscott, BristolThe cost of the trains in Britain compared to the rest of Europe is an absolute disgrace. Its obvious that privatisation hasn’t helped the service at all.

Nicholas Stamper, EpsomTake the power away from the few and give it to the many. Rise comrades.
Shaun Henry, LiverpoolBring back BR, especily BR blue. It should all be about the passengers.
