Tracey Brown, BrightonI have been stranded way too much. It was way better with British Rail. It really needs to stop now.
Jordan Smith, BristolStop the fares rip-off getting stupid.
Jacqui Morris, ClactonMore good public transport, fewer cars.
Brian Latham, BrightonTaking profit out of the railways degrades the service for every passenger, decreases proper investment and encourages corners to be cut on safety.
Tina Comparini, Southampton20 years of above inflation price hikes and I’m travelling in trains, not properly cleaned, with broken dirty toilets.
Ben Bailey, BrightonI agree that re-nationalising the railways is a common sense idea.
Keith Lewis, CardiffAn integrated, modernised railway system should be for the benefit of all the nation, not just shareholders and rich executives.
Gillian Callaby, WorksopAs a frequent rail traveller I find the various tariffs immensely frustrating. A fare should remain reasonably constant.
Josie Matthews, NottinghamIs it really going to make a difference or help the elderly with their travel? Let’s hope so.
Alex Ross, CambridgeWhy do we put up with a far worse rail infrastructure than Germany, France and Switzerland? Their governments have not let train users down.
Timothy Doughty, LondonEmail me please, I’m very keen on making noise.
Carole Green, YorkEast Coast is an example of how much better it is not to have the railway privatised. The further advantage there used to be of one unified system would be welcome.
Sarah Marriott, ThetfordBring back British Rail.
Nick Packer, GlasgowThere are a few things I believe should not be subject to market forces, shareholder interests etc.
Mervyn Collyer, NottinghamIt’s been no good since privatisation.
Mick Francis, Welwyn Garden CityIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Peter Harding, SleafordI’m a long-time supporter and user of East Coast trains. It was a brilliant company. It’s time the whole network was out of private hands.
Jenny Rivett, IpswichMy son had to take a taxi to Colchester when a train broke down on the line and was three hours getting to work.
Carolyn Ehret, LeedsIt makes total sense – if this were a political party I’d vote for them.
Sandra Salmons, WestburyI cannot see that privatisation has had any benefits for the travelling public, only to the heads of the companies who now draw off the profits.
Robert Hicks, HardwickePrivately-owned and operated railways do not put the passengers first. Re-nationalise now.
Glenis Linda Curran, DoncasterMake the British Rail British again.
Robert Dawn, SheffieldStop the money makers ruining our national heritage, the first real railway system in the World.
Stephen East, RyeOur rail network should never have been privatised. Our service is a joke and a disgrace.
Fabio Massei, Livorno, ItalyPrivatisation has simply meant expensive tickets for commuters (and also tourists). I’m Italian and I can’t understand how British people have accepted this unfair system.
Andrew Staniszewski, BristolMay the flees of a thousand camels infest the Tory collective anus.
Bill PorterBringing back British rail is the only solution to this savage destruction of our railways.
Anne Roberts, BrodickI agree with all previous sentiments.
Wayne Parr, Wiganit was the worst thing this country did, getting rid of British Rail.
Jackie Shaw, CaterhamPlease bring back British Rail and restore sensible prices and reliable services.
