The current rail services are not very good and usually quite expensive, BR was much better.
Your Views
Scott Brady, BurntislandEast Coast has failed in private hands, worked profitably for the state, yet has been returned to the private sector. Bonkers.
Chloe Somers, BristolRailways are for passengers not ‘customers’ – bring back British Rail and re-democratise our public transport system.
Keith Jermyn, WatfordA national railway network should be a national asset. A public transport system essential for taking people to work should not be run for private profit.
Valerie Hoodless, HullAny profits made by putting it in public hands could then be ploughed back into the rail system to provide a better service and not into private people’s pockets.
Brian Armstrong, LondonWhen the cost of tickets keeps going up so that the shareholders can have a pay-out each year, the services are getting no better. It is time it was run by one body.

We welcome West Midlands Railway being brought back into public ownership today ๐ฅณ But, if control over these lines is devolved to the Mayor of the West Midlands in the future, there is nothing in the current #RailwaysBill to prevent re-privatisation ๐จ Heidi Alexander for Swindon South and Keir Mather MP must sort this! @top fans ...
