Dan Rees, SwanseaPoor, poor service.
Gareth Davies, SwanseaBring back British Rail. Stop corruption and greed in the privatised sector.
G Hanham, Berwick-upon TweedI am old enough to know how good our rail network was when it was a public service and a critical part of our infrastructure. It’s about time we returned to that ethos.
Terry Collins, SnaithChange is due. We have a rail system whose profits should not go to big business.
Malcolm Wallace, ChelmsfordSpread the word. Make sure that, when we win, the public and employees are fully engaged in the new framework.
Sophia Behn, WorthingI have travelled on the (now Southern) route for 18 years and the way it is now is awful. No toilets or heating, rude staff, constant delays and cancellations.
Colin Raven, ManchesterEnough of the insanity.
Jennifer Holden, FavershamIt seems ludicrous to pay out enormous subsidies to private companies for a service that is the most expensive and arguably the worst in Europe.
Graham Henderson, BordonRail fares should be going back into the infrastructure and not to shareholders and the bosses of the multiple companies make up our railway.
Margaret Havercroft, HarrogateKeep British Rail ours.
Jamie Taitt, SurbitonScamming government national rail. Get rid of them.
Cora Lowe, Stockton-on-TeesEast Coast in public hands has given big profits to the government. We should not be giving all the profits to those who are already superrich.
Nigel Hayes, KetteringPeople before profits.
Sally LemsfordGood on you.
Daniel Ferry, BlythBritain needs a good railway.
Carole Price, HexhamEast Coast is publicly owned, well-run and makes money for us – the public. Let’s see the rest of the network follow suit.
Byron Pull, ColchesterMonopolistic privatisation doesn’t work. No investment, poor performance and profit grabbing results when you try to create a market that doesn’t exist.
Charles Brown, KnaresboroughLet’s go back to a joined-up system.
Neil Dexter, WorksopPassenger safety is before profits. To have a transport infrastructure that puts profits before safety is beyond belief.
Ron Chennells, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt needs to be done as soon as possible.
Zelia Dickinson, NorwichGive us a rail system we can afford to use, and one which runs on time.
Les Lazell, PeterboroughIt’s our railway and should not be for private profit.
George Grace, LiverpoolSerco has been shown time and time over to be unreliable at operating public services and should be stripped of this franchise immediately along with Abellio.
Mike Chivers, WaterloovilleDump the profiteers and give the railways back to the people.
Mike Higgins, ShrewsburyHow can a fragmented railway system possibly be efficient?
Sooriya McNorton, YorkOur railway network should be made national and not privatised.
Aaron o’Sullivan, GlenarmAs a young person who never experienced British Rail, I see it as a really positive thing for the country and would love to see it’s reestablishment.
Phillip Corbett, HarwichLet’s stop this private greed and get back on the right tracks. Public transport.
Ned Lane, LeedsThe fares are just ridiculous.
