British Rail should be owned by the people and make enough profit to keep it first class for all users, not shareholders.

Verumignis, LondonAs a trainspotter, I would really like to see British Rail return. Fares are the worst part of privatisation in my opinion, they are high and inconsistent.
Janet Guest, SheffieldI agree with all previous comments, and we need our train network to be re-nationalised as soon as possible.
Rob McDonald, Newcastle upon TynePublic services should be not-for-profit. To reduce our carbon footprint, taking back control of rail and offering affordable prices for everyone is the best way forward.
Pranjal Mathur, HookPrivatisation has led to costs that are unaffordable for the common commuters.
Thomas Burke, OldhamWhat gives this Coalition the right to sell off the Royal Mail against the wishes of the British people? I’m more than unconvinced. Stop this now.
