Your Views
Keith Garr, DurhamFigures show that the government will be better off owning the rail network.
Robert Brister, ChipperfieldStop privatisation. It’s killing the country and filling the pockets of rich people.
Ed Willey, WarePrivatisation pushes up fares and reduces services, hitting the worst-off and the young hardest. For many the railways are their connection to their livelihoods.
Harry Curtis, NottinghamI certainly think that the railways should be taken back into public ownership.
Ryan McGrath, BristolPrivatised train services are a rip-off.
