Your Views
Kaeren Daunt-Jones, RochesterAlthough it was by no means perfect as BR, it was a whole lot better than now. Employ real railway people at the top too, not business Muppets who don’t understand.
Cliff Davies, Rhondda ValleyGreedy train operating companies who at the time of privatisation bought £10 notes for a fiver and set the tone for future privatisations, e.g. The Royal Mail.
Keith Lloyd, NorwichI’m a former career railwayman saddened by what’s been lost in the name of profit.
Kenneth Mudd, GuisboroughFollow the East Coast example and make profit for the taxpayer.
Corin Fairchild, DunblanePromises, promises, promises – but never any delivery to those of us who don’t live in Glasgow or Edinburgh. Cancellations or lack of rolling stock every single day.
