East Coast, owned by a trust, returns the most money to the Treasury. Let’s roll out that model and bring back British Rail.

Sophie White, RayleighGreater Anglia are the most over-priced, unreliable, and uncomfortable service I have ever experienced.
Bruce Cooper, Herne BayAny profit should be re-invested, not lining the pockets of owners.
Alison Gibney, St AlbansWe need continuous long-term investment in our rail services and the only way to achieve that is through public ownership.
Mark Leith, ManchesterIt is insane that we have a system of legalised highway robbery, where we pay more now to private firms for them to make a profit.
Barbara Cowle, WirralYes to public ownership of British Rail. We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.

The public ownership of Scotland's Railways makes it much easier for The Scottish Government to cut fares to help encourage more rail use 👏 When Great British Railways is established we need to see #PeakFaresGoneForGood all over Britain 🚆 Heidi Alexander? @top fans ... See MoreSee Less
