Frank Nicholas AdamSince privatisation there have been many wasted opportunities to get improvements done to the rail network.
Stephen Miller, BirminghamWhy should our transport systems be owned by foreign states and not our own?
Gerard Neill, LondonThe South East Region needs longer trains all the time, not just a few during peak hours.
Cassy Firth, LeedsWords fail me.
Joan Vickers, DarlingtonA re-unified national rail network could lead to greater efficiency and a less complex pricing system.
Gordon Daunt-Jones, RochesterOne of the worst government decisions ever made.
Alan Taylor, CoalvilleAn infrastructure that serves the whole country should never be in the hands of private companies. East Coast Rail has proved this.
Gregor McKechnie, Gothenburg, SwedenThe Major government harped on about offering choice. So they granted private companies rail franchises, which are effectively monopolies.
William Smith, ManchesterI stand with Labour against rip-off Northern Rail.
Ian Hamilton, DunbarEast Coast Rail was working perfectly until it was re-privatised. Now, despite the usual Virgin hype, the lounges have been down-graded and there are reliability problems.
David Ransom, BrightonRail should never have been privatised in the first place.
Leigh Hatts, LondonTrain tickets are too expensive and too complicated to understand.
Suzi Boardman, BoltonThis is a public service and shouldn’t be run for private profit. Why should there be profits when most services are overcrowded, understaffed, out-of -date and running late.
Bobby Webb, ManchesterDo it for the good of the people, not for private profit.
Doris Brunt, BiggleswadeThere is overwhelming support to restore our railways to public ownership and politicians must listen.
Jason Lodge, HoveBring back publicly-owned railway, to show these companies how to run it.
Harry Mander, Westcliff-on-SeaThe fare rises are disgusting.
Ian Sadler, LeedsWhy pay dividends to shareholders when the money would be better spent on renewing the rails and trains?
John Rolfe, LondonIt can’t happen soon enough.
Robert Thomas, NortholtIt makes no sense to fragment the railways. It’s been tried by John Major and the experiment failed miserably.
Timothy Swann, WorcesterRun the railways for the sake of the railways, not the cash you can milk (looking at you, First Great Western.)
Mick Brady, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe need the railways to be brought back into the public ownership now.
Terry McKeown, LeedsProfiteering, money before service, disgraceful lies and deceit. It’s time for a change. Escape Tory and Labour lies.
John Delaney, LlandudnoCan’t be worse than the current situation.
Nicola Shepherd, AltonRe-nationalise and invest in a national rail service.
Andrew Clubb, AberdeenDoes this Government sell off their own family silver or just the country’s. They are catching up with Gordon Brown.
David Muir, GlastonburyI fully support the desire to bring back an international network serving Scotland and Wales and England, especially in Scotland.
Colin FlowerdayI agree, we want British Rail back as the train services today are rubbish.
Nicola Graham, BrightonTrains have always been my preferred means of travel but since privatisation have become too expensive.
Peter Gillon, Sowerby BridgePrivatisation has been a disaster for the railways. We subsidise it more now than when it was publicly owned.
