BR wasn’t perfect, but it was affordable and, for the most part, worked well. The current system of private monopolies is only of benefit to railway company shareholders.
Your Views
Peter Flack, LeicesterThe railways are and always were a public service, not an opportunity for profiteering at the public’s expense.
Gerry Mooney, PaisleyRe-nationalise the railways now and plan for a long term investment in the most sustainable form of transport.
Oliver Charleston, LincolnPublic ownership of the railways is not just desirable but an urgent priority – Bring back British Rail.
Anouk Kahanov, AberdeenI enjoy using the trains in Scotland because I’m only an occasional long distance traveller. I’m completely convinced I’d be disgruntled if I’d have to commute.
Mark Pilkington, ElginSomething wrong with the service if it’s cheaper to fly from Elgin to Manchester than use the train service. It needs change.
