Niall Clifford, Stoke-sub-HamdonI cannot see the point in taking profits out of what should be a public service. It costs far more now for far less value.
William Edwards, DarlingtonTo run a successful economy a fast, efficient and cheap nationally-operated and integrated railway system is one of the most important strategic requirements.
Aisling Leyden, KetteringIt has priced normal earners out of the commuters’ market
Lewis Evans, Stanford-le-HopeWe need BR back.
Dale Barnard, GlasgowWhy on earth did we ever privatise the rail network? We have the only private network in Europe and it’s the worst run. Stop emulating America. BBBR!
Luca Jeffery, RotherhamI’d love to see the old 91s and also the old locos back and also nice to see some new BR AC/DC locos.
Frederick Wintersgill, CramlingtonEast Coast is the example to prove that nationalised rail is the only way forward, to keep pace with the rest of the world.
Ben Hall, Haywards HeathI live a 50 minute train ride from London. I will never work there. Could never afford the season ticket.
Richard Clark, LiverpoolThis cannot go on. It won’t be worth going to work soon!
Tim Zacharia, CroydonThe only people who will benefit from this are the shareholders who will be fleecing the general public.
Ethan Radford, NottinghamConsidering the public already subsidises the rail network 3-4 billion a year, yet fares continue to rise. The entire rail network should be standardised to public good.
Julie Hills, LiverpoolThe current way is not working. Unification, nationalisation, organisation.
Chris Hambly, KingsteigntonRe-nationalising will only benefit the railways.
Ian Cowmeadow, LondonThe privatisation of national infrastructure has a conflict of interest at its core. Private companies are obliged to maximise shareholder returns above all else.
Carol Frazer, Haywards HeathHigh travel costs meant I had to give up a great job I love, instead of returning to work after maternity. Please tell me how the government supports working mums.
Paul Tandy, CheltenhamThe current rail franchise system is horrendous and poorly managed.
Jonathan Wang, LiverpoolI prefer BR to be re-nationalised, because in other EU countries the railways are state-owned.
David Batten, CoventryPublic services should never be privatised.
Zoe Pearson, ExmouthSave our railways.
A TanServices by the people for the people. Over £2 for a cup of tea on some of our trains.
Robert Robinson, LondonGive us back our railways.
Dan Rees, SwanseaPoor, poor service.
Edward Antonyuk, LondonExpensive AF.
David Heading, BirminghamLate, packed, dirty and over-priced. I used to do regular trips from Birmingham to Bournemouth, but when it can cost £94 I can’t afford it.
Stuart Bishop, ManchesterTransport is a key piece of national infrastructure. It has no business being run for profit in the private sector.
James Biddlecombe, BanburyPublic ownership of a public service.
William Kerr, EllonBring back common sense rail travel.
Patricia Stevens, NewcastleLet’s have a rail service and not a privatised joke that fills the pockets of a few fat cats.
Chrissie Storey, MordenIt’s time we got back to basics. One network with a commitment to providing an efficient service without the need to rip off the passengers. Bring back British Rail.
Matthew Culley, Barrow-in-FurnessAs a regular commuter, I often have to face delays, rising fares and poor quality of services. Let’s make a change.
