What would BR look like now if all the money wasted in privatisation had been invested in BR.
Your Views
Sebastian Sandys, LondonWe’ve given up Empire, we’ve given away the Navy. We’ve given away the gold.
David Holmes, LydneyThere’s too much subsidy paid for a lousy service.
Martyn Andrews, TorquayToo many different fares. Railways should belong to the state, never to private companies.
Leslie Simpson, EdinburghI worked for British Rail until privatisation and did not realise how lucky I was to have what turned out to be good honest managers and colleagues, which came to an end.
Michael Reynolds, Newcastle-upon-TyneSince privatisation, fares have increased on a ridiculous level, and not enough is spent on maintenance. Public ownership will mean the ability to drive fares back down.

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
