Margaret Hunt, DoncasterEast Coast line has proved that a state-run railway can succeed and make money, so let’s keep it nationalised and extend railway nationalisation.
Georgina Lum, EssexIt’s absolutely disgusting that a season ticket is £6,000. Compare it to Singapore for example. The trains are so much bigger there with air-conditioning.
Gordon Craven, GosportA public service for the public.
Brian Shepherd, LeedsJoined-up thinking, not piecemeal profit centres.
Nigel Frankland, Waltham CrossPrivatisation of the rail networks has not worked!
Matthew Harris, NewportMore than just British rail should be brought back in to public ownership in my mind.
Judith Klaus, LeedsEast Coast in public hands is making a profit. Don’t Let it be sold off again. The profits should go to us not a private company.
Patrick Fenlon, ChesterThey neglected repairs to make massive profits and then put the prices up. Most people stopped using them because of the price. Lower prices get more customers.
Samuel Nelson, ErskineJoin up the dots.
Philip QuaifeAnd the rest of the utilities.
Hereward Pooley, LondonWhen I was a student I commuted to South Sussex every weekend. This was affordable. Now it would not be.
Patrick O’Brien, SloughWorst value train service in the developed world.
Graham Pascoe, SouthportI am a train driver and believe strongly in re-uniting the railway for the good of all.
Gordon Anderson, AberdeenOur transport system is too important to be left in the hands of numerous disparate companies whose only loyalty is to their shareholders.
Anthony Kaye, BarnsleyPutting a public service in the hands of private companies who put profit before service is never a good idea.
Kevan Potter, NuneatonRun the railways for the people.
Derek Ramsay, ChathamThey put the fares up year after year but as a taxpayer I am hit twice as I have to subsidise them as well.
Richard Bell, DerbyThe private sector is responsible for some of the biggest economic health and safety disasters, whilst extorting the British public.
Stuart Flude, DurhamWe simply must fight for a better life.
Kathleen Downes, AylesburyTransport is a fundamental service which should never have been privatised, for travellers to be exploited for huge profits to the few.
Thomas CoyleThe Intercity 125 and 225 trains are still top thanks to British Rail.
Nathan Grainger, HoveOver-priced privatisation kills.
Kevin Baker, CoventryIt was better when It was British Rail.
David Willoughby, Houghton-le-SpringThe quicker the better.
Carol Neist, Perth, AustraliaBelieve me, the chaos that is railway in the UK is doing the tourist industry no good at all. It’s complicated and confusing.
Mathew Jackson, YorkLet’s re-nationalise, standardise and make the railways for the fare-paying public not the fat cat franchise management.
Sue Smith, CullomptonThe railways, water, gas, electricity and every other public service that has been privatised should be brought back.
Andrew Reid, HolmfirthI think we need and deserve a public service transport system.
Fred Johnson, LondonPut an end to this disastrous privatisation.
Kristian Berry, YorkAbout time.
