Stephen Sinclair, ChesterBring British Rail back. Fares where cheap.
Andrew England, St AlbansSpending billions on HS2 when it’s cheaper to drive. If the government is committed to bringing emissions from traffic down then rail travel needs to be made competitive again.
Neill Hendry, Henley-on-ThamesWe need to return to an integrated rail system that puts its customers and employees first.
Catherine Maudsley, NorthallertonI wish to join with the other people to re-nationalise the railways.
David Goodby, Welwyn Garden CityIt’s shameful that the railways were privatised. Stop profiteering and give it back to the people now.
Michael Hing, LondonNo more privatisation.
Stephen Rollason, ExmouthOne should not make profit out of public transport.
Anne Mead, TewinRailways should be solely under the control of Government and run for the benefit of people and not private profit.
Denzil Moran, NottinghamPrivatisation of a national service has been a disaster, particularly in health and safety terms. People died at Hatfield because of privatisation.
Delwyn Davies, AbertilleryTransport is a public asset, and should be owned by the public. The banks next.
Michele Webber, ColchesterNational travel should be cheap and affordable and subsidised by government. The gains to the economy would more than pay for it in my opinion.
Robin Peel, LondonPublic service should be run for the good of the people of this country not for private profit.
Barbara Serres, LiverpoolNow I’m retired I want to spend my free time travelling round the country but even with my railcard some fares are ridiculously expensive.
Keith Brown, CleethorpesThey should never have privatised British Rail.
Andrew Hoadley, ArchwayProfit motive built the railways, when they really competed with one another. Now, and especially after WWII, it is a national asset. It must stay.
Steve Pearce, LeedsReduce huge fares and simplify the ticketing system.
Kathleen King, NuneatonI remember the days when I could afford to travel by train – before they were privatised.
Barry Lukins, BridgwaterBring the railways back into the public domain, where the taxpayer of this country will have a bigger say on how to run the system. Now we are being ripped off.
Joe Stoner, BethesdaI’m 65 and remember how efficient and affordable BR was just prior to the ludicrous ideological Tory privatisation which has delivered such a deluge of waste.
Richard Clark, LiverpoolThis cannot go on. It won’t be worth going to work soon!
Paul Doe, CrowboroughI work for the Kent train operating company and I would rather be working for a company that is a not for shareholders’ profit.
Neil Spowart, WellingboroughStrikes wouldn’t have been allowed when the railways were owned in the public sector.
John Conley, RosythCrap service from the mainline companies except from East Coast. I wonder why.
Paul Burgess, CaerphillyStrategic transport planning has given way to a farcical face-saving exercise. Rivals competing on the same tracks will never work.
John Gilfillan, LeedsThe last 20 years have seen the taxpayers’ pounds drained into shareholders’ pockets and fares rise disgracefully. Profit is not the only motive; service enriches us better.
John Doyle, AddlestonePrivatisation is for the few to get stinking rich. The clue is in the word private.
Jayne Fowler, AshfordThe Labour Party have got to back this and make it happen.
Mark Charters, Fuzhou, ChinaDo it now.
Barbara Gleave, WirralI’m fed up with keeping Branson in luxury and disgusted at his Corbyn accusation.
Hilary Hunt, Market OvertonA rail service where passengers are valued, instead of being ripped off to line the pockets of the already obscenely rich.
