Mary Francis, LeedsEast Coast must remain in public hands – it provides an efficient service – and makes a profit for government. Why change a good thing and put profits into private hands?
Steve Andrews, LincolnPrivatisation was a terrible failure for commuters and a great win for greedy investors.
Nicholas Allen, YorkThe railways should be owned by the British Government, not the French and German Governments, nor the private sector, for the benefit of shareholders, not passengers.
John Keith, ApplebyWe’re being subject to legalised robbery. HS2 will bring more of the same. Fat profits and a service priced for the rich or on expenses.
Colin Young, SevenoaksI could be proud again of our trains (as I am of the NHS) if only privatisation could be ended and we returned to a culture of public service to and for the public.
