Stop the gravy train (excuse the pun) and put all the profits back into the upkeep of ‘our’ railways.
Your Views
Martin Lawrence, BrightonPrivatisation has been a disaster from start to now. It was ill-conceived, based on John Major’s silly personal dreams, and has cost the taxpayer vast amounts.
Doug Bate, EssexI remember the old BR which was a lot better than the service we have now, as it’s very confusing (different tickets etc.) trains are late and more expensive.
Jack Coleman, CrawleyThe fair from Crawley to London is £35, for a distance of only 30 miles. This is unacceptable.
Richard Glazzard, Tunbridge WellsI am rarely on a train these days that is (a) on time, (b) not broken (c) has a driver or (d) completes its whole journey without being discontinued early.
Janice Hutt, Whitley BayTo work properly, the railway needs to be integrated under British Rail and not be for private profit.
