Peter Whiteman, ChelmsfordIf it ain’t broke don’t fix it (according to your political views). Leave alone and away from the clutches of your financial cronies. It’s ours not yours.
Matthew Allen, PortsmouthInflation-busting fare increases year on year with nothing to show must stop. We are lining the pockets of shareholders with no net gain to ourselves.
Isabelle McGoogan, ArdrossanRail network is a disgrace. I work up in Glasgow and I’m fed up with trains being cancelled, overcrowding and sky-high fares for a deplorable service.
Jon Veal, Newcastle-upon-TyneGNER, National Express and now Virgin Trains have ripped off customers on the East Coast Mainline, a service that was profitable and functioning fine until it was sold again.
Dr Adrian Morgan, RiponA railway is a social service and should be not-for-profit, at the lowest possible fares for all. Britain’s railway system is too expensive for many buying on the day.

We'll never get a simplified unified railway if private Open Access operators are allowed to continue running their own services & selling their own tickets🚆 The frustration of only being able to use specific tickets on specific trains will persist 😤 Heidi Alexander must #ScrapOpenAccess now! ...

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.4 CommentsComment on Facebook
