I’ve finally reached the end of my tether with trains recently. I’ve always used them because they were greener, cheaper and pleasant. Not any more. Just too expensive.

Antony Drawmer, BirminghamPrivatisation equals false competition without choice but plenty of complication for customers.
Patrick Strode, PlymouthRail fares have become truly obscene. Pure greed. Motorways are coagulated. I can’t afford travel by train to even relatively close-by locations despite working full-time.
Andrew McGill, RomfordSome things should never have been privatised, i.e. transport, utilities.
Joe Stoner, BethesdaI’m 65 and remember how efficient and affordable BR was just prior to the ludicrous ideological Tory privatisation which has delivered such a deluge of waste.
Lee Ballance, ChesterI want a railway run for the benefit of the British public, not for private train companies to bleed the fair-payers and our tax subsidies dry.
