Stuart Curran, CooksbridgeInvest taxpayers’ money in the rail network, not in corporate welfare schemes.
Courtney Williams, AngleseyI travel on a bus for two to three hours extra to go to university and back as the trains are too expensive. It saves me about £26 per week.
Sue Caro, LondonWhy should private rail operators who make huge profits and rip us off with high fares receive much higher subsidies than British Rail did? It’s daylight robbery.
Dominic Gook, BasingstokeBring it back.
Louise Sumner, LeylandRail travel has never been the same since we lost BR.
Charlott Ndupuechi, SouthamptonIt’s one very important thing we can do now we’re out of the EU.
Peter Alderton, GravesendI’ve been on the railways for ten years and the level of service has gone down. They shouldn’t have been sold off as they should be for the people not private profit.
RenRail travel is becoming unaffordable for many, when it should be made the preferred mode of travel to the road.
Christopher Willan, BirminghamPublic services should be owned and run by the public, for the public good, not for profit.
Helena Rant, PlymouthAs a student it costs me way too much to get home and, due to the extortionate train prices, I can barely afford to travel to pursue my career as a performer.
Alison Broadley, BedworthI would like to travel long distances and know connecting trains will be waiting for me.
Clive Stead, LeedsBring back all the companies that British taxpayers paid for and got nothing but higher costs in return.
Mark Turnock, LondonJapanese, German, French and Italian trains run on our network. Just think of all those manufacturing jobs we’ve missed out on!
Stanley Beal, PlymouthIn any other field, the incompetent companies running these lines would have no custom. We can’t go on like this.
Johnny Gomes, SudburyThe people of the British Isles require a nationalised rail service which brings affordable transport to its people.
Audrey Lazenby, LeicesterWhile you are about it why not re-nationalise all amenities – gas, electricity and water, to make our lives worth living again.
Ken Connor, FakenhamTrain services are vital. They should be run for the benefit of all users and staff and not by people who want to try and make a profit out of it.
Sharon Durant, WallsendCurrent rail travel prices are far too high.
Enzo Carrubba, LiskeardPrivatisation isn’t working. We need to secure a future for the youngsters by keeping the railway in the public sector and stopping the fat cats reaping big bonuses.
Cameron Abbotts, RochesterWorking for a heritage railway I see why people want those trains and services back.
Mark Vickers, ChippenhamLet’s get cars off the road with affordable rail travel for all – an infrastructure investment.
Bob Teasdale, South ShieldsPeople need to know that private companies cost us more than BR did, and by definition they are there to serve shareholders’ interests before the Public’s.
Barry Scott, RomfordRail Prices are too high and the service is not worth it. People could move around easier under British Rail.
Neil Sculley, WatfordDo it now.
Brian Morton, RedcarPublicly owned buses would be a return to better things as well..
Rona Sharp, IpswichPrivatisation has delivered disjointed services and poor value for money. We can do better than this.
Doreen Stevenson, PortsmouthPrivate ownership only ever lines the pockets of shareholders and never serves the public needs.
Mitul Gohil, LutonPlease get rid of Thameslink.
Christopher Rowe, DurhamEast Coast is the best service presently in the UK, doesn’t have to pay a dividend to rich shareholders, and is less of a burden on taxpayers than any private company.
Ash Bashar, LondonBring the icon back which would be the pride of UK.
