Prices are too high and very poor service with blocked toilets. Bring back British Rail now.
Your Views
Timothy Selvage, Milton KeynesService standards have definitely declined. Buying tickets on the day is robbery, especially on lines where there aren’t even enough carriages to sit down in.
Aled Owen, CreweToo many rail workers are commuting silly distances. Employ locally!
Robert Middleton, ShrewsburyNo system will ever be perfect but I’d choose not-for-profit publicly-owned services over privately-owned ones every time.
Jake Bolton, BlackburnI think that privatisation has been promoted purely for political expediency and short-term gain. The politicians who allow this aren’t living with the consequences.
Howard Elcock, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe fragmentation of the system caused by privatisation is a disaster and fares are too high because of the need to satisfy shareholders.
