Thomas Dunn, YorkPlease put rail users’ needs before greedy shareholders’ demands for profit. Other countries do.
David Bacon, SheffieldBringing British Rail back into the public domain is a no brainer. A state owned system would cost less and profits would go to the nation.
Gary Pressley, DurhamBritish rail may never have been perfect but it existed for its passengers, not like the present system of privateers only interested in making as much money as possible.
Paul Toplis, CambridgeshireWe need a not-for-profit railway network and public transport system if we are to realise our environmental targets.
Sandra Humphries, SouthseaBlair promised in Parliament in 1996 that, if the Conservatives privatised the railways, an incoming Labour government would re-nationalise them. Did he? No.
