Outrageous rises in fares every year – to pay shareholders – make rail travel impossible for many people. The most expensive fares in Europe, if not the world.
Your Views
Jack Heywood, HarrogateOur rail services are an embarrassment when compared to those of our fellow European nations. We owe it to ourselves to sort it out.
Mark Leetion, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe railway service and infrastructure is too important to the country to be in the hands of the purely profit-driven private sector.
Sharon Bestley, PortsmouthMy dad worked for British Rail and we were proud of it.
Peter Wright, BarnsleyJust for once, admit that privatisation hasn’t worked. It’s costing more in subsidies now than it ever did when it was nationalised.
Keith Robertson, MaldonIt doesn’t work at the moment, as all we are doing as travellers is lining the pockets of the shareholders – so let’s go back to paying for our own railway. What better idea?
