David Leigh, St.AlbansI object to paying for infrastructure that private firms will profit from. Public investment should support public services.
Fenella Watts, SouthamptonPeople not profit. Re-unify our country again. Encourage us off the roads.
Tom Hurrell, SheffieldNecessary, overdue and much needed..
Niall Garner, WithamInability to run a rail franchise. Lack of investment.
Michael Attard, Newton AbbotThis is just one of the assets stolen from the people by John Major’s government. The railway should be returned in good condition after all that subsidy.
Derek Tweedie, ErithRailways should never have been privatised.
Kevin Jordan, CoalvilleI’m badly in need of a railway from Leicester to Burton. This can help us. Keep up the good work.
Colin Laidler, WashingtonNationalise the railways for the benefit of us all.
Joe Laughlin, KeighleyRe-nationalise and lets have a rail system owned by the people for the people with the profits going to the government not private companies.
Rowan Crawshaw, CaernarfonI hate Virgin and First.
Diana Donoghue, EastbourneAll our services should be re-nationalised, for the people not private profit.
Chris Jack, EdinburghNo other country in Europe employs the crazy system which we currently have in the UK, with public money supporting private companies whose profits go to shareholders.
Susan Shaw, BarnsleyThe government should run the country to benefit citizens, not big business. They need to be reminded of this.
Kerry Brown, SevenoaksNo arguments left for privatisation. Consumers continuously suffer for corporate profits.
Alan Newstead, EastleighThe money wasted on all the companies involved in running the railways. All have a chairman and a board of directors etc.
Yvonne Filsell, Edinburghthe railways should never have been privatised in the first place. Why didn’t British Rail get the huge subsidies (public money) given to private companies?
David Arscott, OkehamptonPublic use so public ownership.
Helen Taylor, WakefieldThe only rail service that makes a profit is East Coast trains. That says it all really.
Richard Morley, LondonBring back British Rail.
Edward Carding-Moorhouse, NorthwichJust about every other country in Europe has retained its national rail system and invested in it. Why not us?
Ian David Wildbore, ChesterfieldSave billions. Scrap HS2. Electrify East Midlands route to Sheffield now.
Paul Andrews, LondonIt is time to stop this nonsense of private companies making profits from public subsidy and ripping off the travelling public.
Suzi Hanney, FarehamCommon sense.
Alan McDonald, CowdenbeathIt’s ours. The money-makers can’t run it right. Please give it back.
Garry Carpenter, WokingLet the train take the strain.
Jamie Robertson, LondonSo we gave it a go and it failed us all. Bring back British Rail.
Elizabeth Sheard, WolverhamptonProfits from the railways should be going to the Treasury, not to shareholders. East Coast has put millions into the Treasury and should be allowed to continue.
Tracey Muir, ChesterFares are unaffordable yet the service is worse than ever. Re-nationalise British Rail.
Steve Auty, MachynllethIt will never happen unfortunately. Why are 90% of our passenger operating companies owned and run by other European companies?
John Wilson, CambridgeshireNow there are so many different types of tickets in different areas, it’s impossible to be sure if you are getting a reasonable deal.
