It’s a difficult choice between privatisation and nationalisation – though on balance I think that, as long as it is held to account, nationalisation would be better.
Your Views
Kieran Wardle, LondonI believe that infrastructure vital to a nation should be owned and run by (and for) that nation, not for private profit.
Amy Stretch-Parker, Lytham St AnnesIt should not be cheaper to drive than to travel by train.
Mark Hansen, LondonWe’ve spent more taxpayers’ money on the railways under privatisation than at any other time in railway history and it’s just lining shareholders’ pockets.
William Edwards, DarlingtonA national railway owned and operated by the nation for the nation in the interests of the nation has to be one of the most important publicly owned strategic assets.
Paul Duckett, WindermereIf all the money spent on this stupid privatisation had been invested in BR we would now have the best rail system in the world. Peter Parker rest in peace.
