Jason Leyton, LondonStop the fares rip-off.
Simon Bell, TorpointPrivatisation has failed the passengers and serves only the shareholders of the rail companies. Re-nationalised and run efficiently East Coast line shows public success.
Tony Lansdowne, BristolCan anyone name a single example of when privatisation has been of considerable benefit to the general public?
Cyril Rhodes, SheffieldIt should not have been done in the first place.
Stuart Dye, HailshamNot for private profit.
Kim Elder, WindermereGood luck.
Roland Bishop, SouthamptonEssential national infrastructure must not be used as a cash-cow for foreign capitalists.
Douglas Nash, Hamilton, USAGet rid of these damned psycho paint schemes and ugly new equipment.
Celia Laverick, StanleyPut British Rail back together. Run it with a management separate from MPs but scrutinized by auditors.
Rob Shields, SunderlandPrivate organisations don’t always run things better.
Chris Winfield, NottinghamThe people who used to knock British Rail aren’t knocking any more are they?
Susan Scarth, EdinburghRail travel is a human necessity and should be made accessible to all in availability, price and quality.
John Jenkins, YorkEnd the privatisation disaster.
Mike Gordon, BarnstapleModern train travel is not what it should be, with high fares, delayed or cancelled trains, overcrowding and so it goes on. BR was not perfect but at least they tried.
Simon Jones, BromleyWe need a joined-up train service run in the public interest, owned by the public.
Gill Hanham, Berwick-upon-TweedThe rail network should be part of a strategic national transport infrastructure, not a mechanism for shareholders to make a profit.
Chris Dickinson, NottinghamIt’s a no-brainier. Run the railways for the benefit of the population and to support our industry. Get freight back on the rails and save the environment and lives.
Jacob Tong, LondonAbsolute Economic Sense
John Wood, LightwaterPrivatisation did not lead to lower fares and better service as we were promised.
Roger Oliver LewisThe main routes carrying the most passengers have deteriorated since privatisation.
Will Miller, LondonI commute on Southeastern and they are useless.
Paul Allen, BournemouthRailway transport is essential, especially for those of us who don’t drive polluting cars. Let’s have our railways back as a service to the people, not owned by money men.
Zeljka Abramovic, LondonHow can this ever be efficient and safe?
Keith Barrow, HuddersfieldTransport should let people get from A to B as cheaply as possible, not for profit. One fare for each journey, not having to find the cheapest available.
Mary Ann Good, NottinghamRail tickets are too complicated to buy and too expensive.
Kay Harrison, LoudwaterWhy are our rail fares so high compared to the rest of Europe, especially as the Government is still pretty much funding it all?
Paul Gibson, LondonAs a railway worker I want the railway nationalised.
Tony Armstrong, DoncasterYou just have to look at the money these CEOs of TOCs pay themselves and the countries that the profits go back to just to see that private ownership is not the best.
Peter Davis, LeicesterSome rail operators are operating trains that are so over-full they must be breaking H and S regulations. There should be refunds for passengers without seats.
Jack Jaye, SurreyBring ’em back. Save us from this shambles!
