L CJ, PenzanceAs a teen addict living in Penzance, I am unable to afford the train to attend a youth narcotics anonymous meeting that I would particularly benefit from.
Andrew Winser, NottinghamPrivatisation of BR has been an unmitigated disaster.
Kathy Dancy, Milton KeynesCurrently a crazy system. Bring back single prices for a given journey plus the fact it should be a service, not a profit-making concern.
Susan Scarth, EdinburghRail travel is a human necessity and should be made accessible to all in availability, price and quality.
John Gibb, GlasgowMass transportation should be run by the people for the people, not for the benefit of shareholders and corporations.
David Moncur, DundeeScotland. We are badly served by trains.
Jonathan Chalcraft, BrightonLet’s get people out of their cars and back onto cheap public transport.
Clive Hodgetts, RhylThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Clare Whiting, BrightonYou know it makes sense.
Spencer Preece, HerefordStop the rip-off!
Stewart Thompson, HolmfirthBring back British Rail into public ownership now.
Colin Rolfe, ChelmsfordThis needs to be back in the public sector. Why should tax payers keep bailing out these companies and then pay through the nose to line their pockets?
Richard McNab, SouthamptonBritain invented public railways. Now we have one of the worst, and most expensive, railway systems in the world, thanks to privatisation.
Stuart Holden, NottinghamYou know it makes sense.
Pat Budd, HarlowPrivatisation has made travelling by rail expensive, uncomfortable and difficult.
Glen Reeves, FolkestoneBring BR back. SouthEastern and the others are a joke, and are ripping us all off.
Leon Fields, LondonRail travel needs to be affordable to people. Why should people be outpriced in travelling by rail? Green transport needs to be encouraged.
Christian Cox, ChichesterThe people who control such integral infrastructure in the country must answer directly to the people.
Saul Blake, CambridgeBring back people over profit.
Angela Sansam, HarrogatePrivatisation has been a complete disaster and has definitely not brought benefits for rail users.
David PenningtonWhy should I suffer with no trains running on a Sunday? There should be the same number of trains running at the weekend if people need to travel!
Richard Halton, High WycombeAll too regular peak time cancellations and short-formations have led to dangerous overcrowding for passengers. There just aren’t enough carriages to meet demand. Very sad.
Henry Saville, WallaseyI am so angered by the blatant profiteering of the train operating companies and the obvious inefficiencies created by privatisation.
Eloise MacKenzie, BrightonSouthern Rail are bloodsuckers, money hungry.
Rita Lee, BarnsleyI used to love travelling by train years ago but now find I don’t because of the expense and overcrowding.
Robert Pankhurst, St AlbansPrivatisation of public services has been a disaster (except for the fat cats). Let’s take back as our own.
Charles Docherty, Dumbarton.Under-investment, expensive fares and the farce of one company owning the track and others providing the trains. Capitalism for its own sake. Even the USA doesn’t.
Tony Whitfield, PrestonRe-nationalise the railways.
Henry Anderson, PerthBritish Rail was flawed but needed restructuring not privatising.
