Josh Collier, TrowbridgeI’m a season pass holder pay ridiculous amount and as I don’t ride the main line service I get two carriages and never a seat.
Ian Enters, SheffieldCurrently we have the worst privatisation. The loss of British Rail started the robbery from the people to the powerful.
Leon SalterNo competition, no investment, still being subsidised with taxpayers’ money going into private hands and outrageous fare rises.
Angela Carter, Walton-on-ThamesThe railway should not just be for the rich. It has been priced out of the ordinary person’s reach. It should never have been privatised. The only winners are the shareholders.
Peter SleggI always said that privatising rail was a really bad idea.
Chris Uren, BracknellI used to work for BR at Reading, loved every minute of it then they privatised it and it lost its attraction.
Elaine Craig, BrightonLet’s drag the rail network into the 21st century with investment in more then hanging plants.
Gemma Holmes, ThameTrains are dangerously overcrowded due to carriage formations being woefully short at peak times. Everyone is back in the office as normal post Covid. Arriva must go!
Trevor SmithYou should never privatise public services.
Michael Rowland-Hill, OrpingtonBritish Rail means getting there on time and at a fair price. Bring back what should never have gone.
Matthew Nelmes, LondonObvious solution.
Huw Gwilliam, LondonCan we also re-instate the word ‘passengers’ not ‘customers’? And get rid of some of those awful liveries too.
John Page, HertfordLets at least keep Directly Operated Railways on the East Coast public not privatised.
Arana Van Week, BromleySouthern out – they are ruining my life.
Louie Withey, SouthamptonBring back the good old days.
Elizabeth Cleere, RyeThe railways should be available to everyone, and serve every part of the country. They should not be another way for a handful of already rich people to get even richer.
Gregory Collett, LowestoftRailways are a social essential not a cash cow for foreign shareholders or vulture capitalists.
Sam Gutsell, BrightonI travel daily and I think the way that the rail companies operate is a disgrace – constant delays, cancellations and overall incompetence.
Marcus Turley, LondonGet rid of the daylight robbers.
Mike Nevill, WorthingLet’s have a railway service that serves stakeholders not shareholders.
Margaret Martlew, SheffieldRe-nationalise the railways. Stop paying shareholders.
Ian Buchanan, StonehavenInsane that a major infrastructure service is not owned and run by the public. Successive UK (and now Scottish) governments continue to misjudge the public’s view.
John Hindhaugh, GatesheadIt is so financially obvious (which is very important to this government) that further comment really is not needed. Wake up Labour Party. We all hacked off on this one.
Sophie Taylor, MacclesfieldUnaffordable prices make it difficult to travel home as a university student.
Shea Hopper, BournemouthThey shouldn’t have been sold off in the first place.
Lawrence O’Donnell, LittleborooughKeep essential public services in the public sector.
Bill Tasker, LiverpoolDismantling British Rail has led to chaos.
Stewart Brown, GlasgowI started with BR just before all the fat cats got fatter with privatisation. The railway loses a fortune on all the contractors, middle men etc.
Robert Davidson, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe nation’s industries – working with vision.
Warren Sherwin, BoltonThe highest prices and worst service in Western Europe. It’s time for a change now.
