Even that bitch Margaret Thatcher thought it was a step too far.
Your Views
Robert Masters, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt’s a total waste of taxpayers’ money, which is going straight into the bank accounts of greedy people.
Pat Williams, OxfordKeep the East Coast main line in public ownership. Run the services by putting passengers first rather than profit. That is what we need railways and trains for.
Betty Eade, LeedsPrivatisation does not bring automatic success. Look at G4, for example. It usually means increased prices and poorer service.
Elaine Whybrow, DartfordExpensive, unreliable, worn out stock, needs central control across the board. Take away from the franchisees who are only interested in their bottom line.
Barry Woodcock, KetteringI am old enough to remember the good old days of BR when we all knew what the fares were without going through different web sites and companies.

We welcome West Midlands Railway being brought back into public ownership today ๐ฅณ But, if control over these lines is devolved to the Mayor of the West Midlands in the future, there is nothing in the current #RailwaysBill to prevent re-privatisation ๐จ Heidi Alexander for Swindon South and Keir Mather MP must sort this! @top fans ...
