Terry McKeown, LeedsProfiteering, money before service, disgraceful lies and deceit. It’s time for a change. Escape Tory and Labour lies.
Matt Simpson, Cradley HeathSomething needs to be done to make travel cheaper for everyone, in a time when people are having to travel more for work.
Andy Ruffell, AshfordIf I want to travel to London (36 minutes away) It costs me £36. £1 per minute, that’s crazy.
Liam Mustapha, Bexhill-on-SeaA college student that will be affected by the 3.4% fare rise and does not have a proper income.
Sue Vincent, LondonPeople before profit. Democratic control for essential services.
S J Wilson, PeterboroughIt was cheaper to run and safer when nationalised.
Michael Markson, LondonPrivatisation of our railways has been an abject, expensive failure..John Major should hang his head in shame.
Roger Bastin, YorkLet’s win East Coast to start with.
Karl McAreavey, GlasgowRe-nationalising the railways wouldn’t cost as much as it does now. The public should be made aware how much the Scottish/UK governments subsidise the railways already.
Michael Kelland, LondonLudicrously overpriced, unreliable. The rail system is awful.
Nicholas Flynn, CroydonPublic monies will be required in the event of railway company failure, so it’s best to assume public ownership now.
Mike FriendPrivatisation benefited the very people who controlled the government that was in power at the time and we are now sadly seeing the results.
Terry Macavoy, HalsteadI’ve experienced major cock-ups by the current train operating companies. They all seem to be interested in huge profits and not public service.
Shelagh Dobson, CambridgeEnough is enough. We want a decent and well run train system, run for the benefit and comfort of passengers, not to make huge profits for greedy companies.
Faisal Hamza, YorkThe whole point of privatisation is competition. There cannot be competition in a sector which cannot duplicate its infrastructure. It causes dreadful service and prices.
Lisa Pickering, PrestonWe need a decent rail system please.
Daniel Shooman, BangorTrains should be cheap and reliable and all the income should be re-invested to continuously improve the service.
Josephine Smoldon, Bridgwaterwe need a railway system that serves the people.
Mayur Mehta, BirminghamStop privatising British Rail. If you want to privatise, then sell the whole country so that private owners will do good for the country – at least better than the present government.
Mark Beeby, NorwichThis isn’t competition, it’s theft. I’m a life long Tory voter, but if Labour fix the utilities they’ll have my vote come the next election.
Frank Nicholas AdamNetwork Southeast was an inspiration and success during the British Rail era, with railway improvements across London and the South East.
Ciaran Brooks, IvybridgeWhy plough taxes in for shareholders to take the profits?
Brian Sowerby, HuddersfieldEast Coast line has been a success since put back in government control. Don’t throw that away now.
Mike Smith, BarnsleyI used to work for BR in the 70’s. It wasn’t perfect but it was far better than the cash cow we have now. Plus, I am a South Yorkshire Freedom Rider.
Raymon Narwal, DoncasterPrivately-owned rail companies need to go. Re-nationalise the railways.
Richard Stone, CanterburyI would like to see is a railway system that is managed and run efficiently with good opportunities for commercial growth and employment. Bring back British Rail.
Damian Roberts, WrexhamBring back cheaper fares.
Simon Moss, BreconTime to turn the tide.
Jordan Murray, LondonRun for people, not for profit.
Adam Lilley, BirminghamBecause the current system is still costing the taxpayer millions, even though we then pay all over again when we buy our tickets.
