Andrew McKay, Downham MarketTransport should be easy, effective and as cheap as feasible. How else do you clear the roads of pollution and chaos?
Vikesh Mistry, LondonUnacceptable service at continually greater unacceptable prices. Please bring back British Rail.
Jonathan, KentConnex was a rubbish company which couldn’t run the railway, but no private company can do it!
Hannah Holroyd, ColchesterToo expensive for such an unreliable service. The new increase is an absolute joke from out-of-touch people with no experience of the service.
Julie Hills, LiverpoolThe current way is not working. Unification, nationalisation, organisation.
David Owen, Peterborough27 years on the railway from the original British Rail to Vtec. How can you privatise East Coast who made millions for the government? Reverse the decision.
Brian Rattray, AberdeenPrivatisation has been one of the biggest disasters of all time.
Leslie Anderson, LeedsThe only ethical way to run any public transport system is for the public’s benefit and not shareholders’.
Brian Spurling, HarlowIf it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it. An old saying but true in this case.
Marion Grez, LondonNationalise the railways.
Steve Lawrence, SwindonBring back the old British Rail with one company working together, with connections forward linking with most journeys.
John Brooks, CanterburyRailway privatisation – yet another failure of Tory dogma in action.
Jamie Taitt, SurbitonScamming government national rail. Get rid of them.
Nicholas Parry, ColchesterBring back British Rail.
David Singleton, DurhamDrop HS2 plans.
Keith Higham, HarpendenPeople, not profit, should be the main criterion in running a rail transport service.
Alan Butcher, WashingtonBring back British Rail.
Patrick Nunley, RushdenDo the common sense thing and bring back British Rail for the people’s sake. Hopefully water and energy will follow suit.
Ian Ellison, NorthleachMass Transit systems around the world are subsidised or state-owned. Private ownership combines minimum service levels and maximum cost.
Maryvonne Lumley, LondonPrivatisation only works for shareholders, not passengers. Bring back BR.
Wendy Turner, NottinghamThe current rail system is a mish-mash of over-priced, under-performing cash-cow for the shareholders. Let’s return to a joined-up service.
Philip Bridges, BrightonBring it home!
Eirug Griffiths, NeathSince BR was privatised by the government it is now run by different companies. These companies hike up the fares every year and provide a poor service for high prices.
David Robert Grimes, OxfordAs a non-UK national living in the UK, I am shocked and disgusted at the outlandish prices and dreadful service UK customers are subjected to.
Trevor Waywell, BedfordLet’s get back to passenger service again, getting away from chaos and utter stupid timetables and confused punters.
Heather Langford, ReadingAfter years using a sub-par service including delays, cancellations, lack of seating, overcrowding and more I want to see our railways run for the public not private profit.
Colin Gill, CambridgeRailways are a service, not for profiting shareholders with taxpayers’ money.
Pete Ryan, BarnsleyNationalise the railways and put it in the hands of the people.
John Madden, DarlingtonAs someone born in the cradle of railways, it appals me the way private companies rip off passengers. We need a united framework in public control.
Matthew Rogers, YeovilRe-nationalise, for a rail service ran for the good of the people and not foreign millionaires.
