Peter King, InschAbellio ScotRail is an absolute disaster. Something has to change.
Tony Rawlings, WokingAlso red star.
Kevin Walsh, BusheyPrivatisation of the railways is far more expensive to run than the unified British Rail ever was.
Dave Spooner, YorkKeep up the good work.
Matthew Whelan, LeedsWe need a railway fit for purpose and not only for profit.
Dawn Curtis, ReadingI think it’s disgusting that the prices are increasing yet again.
Jessica Harriott-Kerr, ReadingHow can it be cheaper to fly to Paris than visit a loved one in Yorkshire? To buy my return ticket to work I have to work the equivalent of 4.5 hours, which is nearly half my day.
Penny Dellow, EastbourneRailways have been ruined by privatisation. Money is not being put back into the system and they are old and past it, they should be all run as one, not many.
Lillian Brogan, CheshireWe are pensioners and, even with a pass, it is too much. It is daylight robbery.
Andrew Shore, NottinghamWe need a re-nationalised railway network that offers a consistent, reliable service, value for money for the tax-payer, and a simple, sensible and fair pricing structure.
Sally Brown, LeedsI’ve finally reached the end of my tether with trains recently. I’ve always used them because they were greener, cheaper and pleasant. Not any more. Just too expensive.
John Perkins, LondonTake it out of the hands of profiteers.
Dominic Hinkins, BostonBring back nationalised railways.
Gill Green, BoltonI’ll share because I care.
Finn Croker, Hurst GreenOur railways have become inefficient and disgustingly expensive.
Patrick Stack, Basel, SwitzerlandI used to live in Bournemouth and the then British Rail offered a good and polite service with reasonably priced fares. Where has it gone?
Charles Boylan, PrestonBritish Rail was much better. You don’t realise what you’ve got till its gone.
Mark Williams, ManchesterYes please!
Stuart Dean, IngatestoneAbellio are ruining my life.
Brian Lambert, AshfordI’m an ex BR worker, then into privatisation and eventually back to Network Rail who own the infrastructure. BR if financed correctly (unlike before) would be the best option.
Martin Mansell, StevenagePrivatisation isn’t working. Just look at the state of our railways.
Tim Zacharia, CroydonThe only people who will benefit from this are the shareholders who will be fleecing the general public.
Stephen Cresswell, LiverpoolRe-nationalisation is well overdue because privatisation is not in the travellers’ interest.
Stan Hesketh, WiganBring back British Rail.
Mary Griss, DarlingtonEast Coast experience shows it can be done.
Nick David, CardiffI am fed up with late, over-crowded trains. Let’s sort it out.
Tom McGuinness, BourneI am a frequent traveller and believe that the fragmentation of the system causes waste and inefficiency. Blame John Major.
Mark Goodfellow, LiverpoolThe railways, being a huge part of the transport infrastructure in the UK, should be run for the people as a non profit making organisation.
Antoinette Sym, LondonAll essentials, transport, education, health and energy, should be nationally-owned concerns.
Jeremy Corbin, LondonPrivatisation sucks. British Rail rocks.
