William Shearer, FolkestoneBring it back in house.
Daniel York, LondonYear on year out we get fleeced. Enough is enough.
Mark Green, BirminghamA country’s transport infrastructure should never be in private hands and run for the profit of share-holders.
Ian Kendall, LedburyIt worked well before and you could travel by different routes without hassle. An efficiently-run BR would knock what we have now into a cocked hat.
Richard Mandridge, PetersfieldBring back British Rail. What a nonsense that money which should be ploughed back into a better rail service is used to line the pockets of shareholders.
John Littlefair, BroughA re-unified national railway network is fair, sensible and forward-looking.
Simeon Green, IlkestonDo it yesterday.
John McGregor, BlythTransport should always be in public hands.
Alan Cox, EdinburghPlease keep the tracks in public hands. It isn’t perfect but it’s so much better than the private alternative.
Tony Gale, DerbyRail prices are going sky-high and the service isn’t improving one bit. Privatisation hasn’t worked. Profit shouldn’t be the main motivator in providing a public service.
Helen Amphlett, TewkesburyCompletely overpriced for the service and comfort of the trains. Always my last resort.
Hilda Sacranie, HartlepoolCertain essential utilities are best operated by Government who are responsible to the electorate, not shareholders. East Coast has proved it.
James Dodd, SheffieldIf there’s profit to be made, then the profit should belong to the people and be further invested into improving the facilities for the better of us all.
Ian Carnew, BristolKeep up the good work.
Robin Ridley, SheffieldPrivatisation – just a massive failure fuelled by greed.
Carol Munro, BournemouthBuying train tickets is far too complicated and confusing.
Mark Vickers, ChippenhamLet’s get cars off the road with affordable rail travel for all – an infrastructure investment.
Liam Murphy, LondonThe new timetables are terrible and on top of this there are frequent cancellations and short trains resulting in overcrowding.
Anthony Stanton, CambridgePrivatisation has made our railway one of the most expensive in Europe per passenger mile. It’s been a disaster.
Michael Moloney, BanffAbout time, the profiteering rather than service idea makes me sick as a previous employee, now retired.
Mike Hughes, LondonRailways now, power and water next.
Paul Andrews, LondonIt is time to stop this nonsense of private companies making profits from public subsidy and ripping off the travelling public.
Barrie Evans, Barry IslandTo re-nationalise seems common sense, so let’s do it.
Neil Sanderson, OswestryPeople not profit.
Roy Lawrenson, AccringtonI work on the railways and it needs to go back to BR to save the railways from meltdown.
Aviva Jacobs, LondonI’ve travelled all over Europe by train and the UK’s railways are the most over-priced and contemptuous of the passenger.
Ruth Rach, LewesStop these greedy, outrageous and callous private monopolies
Barry Marshall, HebburnThere was absolutely no logic to privatising and fragmenting the railways other than to line the pockets of a privileged few.
Christopher ParkerBecause of the way the trains currently work, it is now cheaper to get a return plane ticket to Spain than it is to get a return train ticket to London. This is daft.
Nicola Godfrey, InvernessAnother theft which needs to be sorted.
