Privatisation of the railways is far more expensive to run than the unified British Rail ever was.
Your Views
Alex Leithes, LondonThis is so obvious it surely does not require comment? It is cheaper to drive alone than to take the train – we have no public transport system.
Frances Brown, CambridgeRe-nationalise the railways. One railway equals safety and reasonable prices, and therefore means that ordinary people can afford to use the trains.
David Robert Grimes, OxfordAs a non-UK national living in the UK, I am shocked and disgusted at the outlandish prices and dreadful service UK customers are subjected to.
Hugh Gurney, GlasgowHand out subsidies (from our taxes) to hand them to investors? It makes no sense.
Norman Luff, PortsmouthI arrived Southampton 1949, saw BRITISH RAIL sign. Hooray. Bring it back.
