The country needs this again. The railways are in an awful way. The current political class has an obsession with outsourcing. It doesn’t work. The state needs to intervene.
Your Views
Patricia Macnair, GlasgowI am very happy to back this. Having travelled on German and Austrian trains this autumn, I am aware of the shortcomings in the British system.
Ian Malcolm-Walker, PooleWe need a single publicly owned railway not only on its own merit but to end the use of fossil fuels both directly and in electricity generation for our trains.
Peter King, EdinburghSelling the profitable East Coast route to German state railways seems daft.
Graham Ormrod, ManchesterI don’t understand why they thought privatisation would work. No competition on same lines and no incentive to run services with more capacity.
Claudia Bultman, GravesendWe are fed up with all these fat cats which are lining their pockets with lots of money. Let the people run the railways and you will see the improvements they bring.
