Barbara Penny, HarrogateOur rail fares are the highest in Europe.
Mimi O’Halloran, DealWhere I live, the cost of a railcard to send a child to school costs a family £600+ a year. No wonder the kids bunk the trains.
Chris Schiele, ManchesterNorthern Rail needs to go. Levenshulme commute doesn’t work. The 08:11 is a myth.
Thomas Gray, ExeterIt’s about time that the most efficient railway in Europe came back and put an end to the privatisation chaos.
Kevin Wheatley, Stockton-on-TeesA recent trip to Munich left me in awe of a brilliant public transport system which is in stark contrast of the poor British standard. You can fly for less over here.
Andy Welling, BristolHow long will it take the government to stop these vultures giving the public an awful service?
Stephen Fay, CwmbranBring back BR!
Peter Neal, RomfordBring the railways back to the nation and reduce the fares by not giving money to shareholders. The East Coast line has improved since being run by the nation.
Paul Hill, ColchesterThatcher’s scum children will one day be shown by the people of this country that we come before their all-engrossing profits, which only benefit them and not us.
Donald Williams, LlanelliRe-nationalise our railways.
Emma Hock, WakefieldThere is no way in which privatisation of the rail system was a good thing. The demand for profits has led to a service lean on customer service and adequate provision.
Andy Kuss, BathIt’s the only sensible option to run a network.
Thomas Crute, Newton AycliffeMPs are corrupt to the core.
Vanessa Carr, St AlbansBritish Rail should be run as one organisation for the public, not individual companies whose sole aim is to make a profit for the shareholders.
Colin Keatley, PlymouthBring back British Rail.
Daniel Roberts, OrpingtonBritish Rail rules.
Nigel McAdam, ManchesterPublic service not private profit. It’s that simple.
Lewis George, AndoverWe need a British Rail, for the people, for Great Britain.
Shannon Kilday, GlasgowThis scrappy service is not worth the amount of money I spend on it.
Dave Griffiths, ManchesterReplace Europe’s worst railway systems, and bring back BR. End private profit at the expense of commuters, and cancel HS2. Give us a low-price, clean, green service.
Malcolm Stacey, NottinghamEast Coast Trains shows how it can be done.
Suman Joshi, LondonEast Coast Line. That is all.
Sam Flinders, DidcotThe railways need to be run in a non-profit manner.
Brian Pickering, NottinghamStop the rot that is privatisation.
Paul McLean, LeedsThanks to all railway staff for their kindness and assistance.
Tom Peyton, GatesheadIt should definitely be British Rail again, but privately managed.
Chris Yong, St AlbansRailways for the benefit of people and the country, not for private profit.
Sarah Marriott, ThetfordBring back British Rail.
John Atkin, HarlechArriva trains are heavily subsidised and too expensve to use. Nationalise now.
Annabelle Killworth, BasildonWe need railways to provide public services not profit for millionaires.
