Angela Williams, LetchworthMost European rail networks are nationalised or heavily subsidised. Our railways do not compare in any aspect of quality and are the most expensive.
Don Murtha, SunderlandPrivatisation means higher fares, huge profits, bonuses and a reduced workforce.
Adrian Fish, LancasterRail travel is over-priced and inefficient. Privatisation has only benefitted shareholders, not passengers.
