Privatisation has just allowed private companies to enrich themselves at our expense.
Your Views
Dominic Hales, WiganThe standard is embarrassingly low. It is unreliable and over-priced. Prices need to be controlled if we are to encourage a greener mentality. Private profit is unacceptable.
Jack Plumb, ColchesterProgress hasn’t been made with privatisation, just big mistakes like the Virgin franchise. BR was when we had and are going to get real progress.
Pat Tracey, FleetWhy privatise a national asset in the first place? – Greed.
John Blackburn, Llanbedr Pont SteffanOur nearest rail station is Caerfyrddin. We can only go to Gogledd Cymru through Loegr, a minor absurdity of the present system, but still absurd.
Riaz Meer, IlkleyA unified not-for-profit railway is the best way to fund and plan long term strategy, and ensure that the training and skills of the workforce are maintained sufficiently.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.4 CommentsComment on Facebook
