An efficient and reasonably priced rail network is fundamental to getting cars off the road. This should be an important resource for the people not to be run for private profit.

Lindy Ayubi, ExeterA civilised country would run a unified and expanded network affordable to everyone (while taking freight off the crumbling roads network.) Re-nationalise now.
Neil Blumfield, LincolnI use the East Coast line. Under the DOR, it gave a glimpse of what a re-nationalised service can do. With Virgin in control prices have rocketed. Privatisation doesn’t work.
Cathy Moss, RedditchRail should be the transport of the future and part of a government environmental public transport strategy – public being the operative word.
Terence Sythes, Milton KeynesPrivatisation seems to be the default position of Tory policy. The services are never better run, but at least the select few can benefit.
Austin Jones, Church StrettonLet’s have a national plan, not a free-for-all governed by cherry-picking and profit maximisation.
