Stephen Sinclair, ChesterBring British Rail back. Fares where cheap.
Derek Imrie, Kirk DeightonLeave things the way they are instead of making more money available to the fat cats and shareholders. Try and think of the customers for a change.
Margaret Healey-Pollett, BirminghamRe-nationalise, and then re-extend. We don’t just need to reverse the sell-off, but also Beeching’s cuts.
Nick Urquhart, AberdeenThe shocking performance of rail services shows it needs to be state-owned. I do not remember the last time a train left exactly on time.
Rodney Cooper, LochaberOur Railways must be brought back into one centralised state-run concern but not hampered by meddling civil servants in Department of Transport which helped bring down BR.
