We can only move forward with prioritising joined-up low-carbon travel for the benefit of our society and the world if our railways are also joined-up – and planned to be.
Your Views
Patricia Sever, BirminghamBritish Rail should never have been privatised and, if at all possible, should be re-nationalised
Marcus Stead, CardiffI am a free market capitalist, but privatisation only works when the consumer has choice. The consumer has no choice – they must use the rail company which runs the line.
Fred Riley, NottinghamI’ve travelled by train in many European countries, and the UK’s rail service compares very badly. Having the dearest and poorest service in Europe is a national disgrace.
Brian Hoey, Houghton-le-SpringI couldn’t agree more. Rail is an essential service that should not be run for private profit and should definitely not be run badly.
Roland Laycock, MansfieldPeople used to be proud of the railways. Now its just a rip-off. As an ex-signalman I have seen it go downhill with vast amounts of money vanished into black holes.
