If the rail industry is ‘private’ why then do the train operating companies take their profits whilst the taxpayer is still contributing considerably to the rail network.
Your Views
Claire Davenport, DoncasterAll major services in my mind should be brought back into re-nationalisation and should never have been sold in the first place.
Richie Brown, WarringtonI worked happily for 20 years for British Rail. Staff morale plummeted during privatisation and many good and knowledgeable people left, including myself.
Chris Allen, LondonIt’s about time we stop paying through the nose for sub-standard rail travel. Bring back British Rail and end this madness!
Rick Evans, BedworthIt’s really time we had a service based on need not profit to benefit everyone not just the company shareholders.
Chris Kellett, SheffieldThe railways were built for the public to use. We should be the ones to make the decisions etc.
