Chuck Elliot, SheffieldPrivatised railways make no sense. Competition is impossible within rail services. Nationalisation is the only sensible policy.
Julian Gillespie, ManchesterA workable transport system can only work if subsidised. Re-nationalising the railways makes sense in any civilised equal society.
Paul R, HorshamThe fragmentation of Britain’s railways has its roots in EU directive 91/440/EU used as a blueprint for the Major Government’s privatisation of Britain’s railways in 1994.
Leonora Matthews, BridgendThe last few times I used a train to Cardiff from Pyle it was standing room only. I travel by car now.
Aubrey Brazier, DraycottI’m ex BR retired. Stop HS2 in the process. It was planned by people who can only draw straight lines.
Timothy Doughty, LondonEmail me please, I’m very keen on making noise.
Wayne Bloomfield, DagenhamOver-priced fares, hardly any seats when I travel to and from London. Privatisation has become more of a joke than it did with British Rail. Bring back BR.
Gareth Robinson, WrexhamRegionalised rail has failed the common, everyday and occasional passenger with constantly increasing price hikes! Time to bring back a fairer system and value for money.
Alexander Cameron, EdinburghSort this mess out now with the only sensible option. Bring back British Rail.
Alan CritchlowLet’s get this back to the British people and run properly.
Dean Robinson, HastingsFollow the German example.
Shirley Cameron, SheffieldTrains are too expensive and too crowded.
Francis Goy, RetfordBritish Rail.
Martin Maguire, SwintonNationalise them. Get rid of the robber barons and get back to fair fares and decent rolling stock.
Ellie Harrison, GlasgowWe must continue to fight the fight for what’s fair and bring back British Rail!
Robert Hendry, RugbyParliament has always meddled incompetently with railways.
Stephen Sanderson, RochdaleRolling stock investment needed.
Geoff Whiteley, BarnsleyThe railways should return to being a public and social service.
Peter Stevenson, WatchetRe-nationalise BR now.
Lyn Boyd, DurhamRe-nationalise for a better service and increased effeciency. Public need before private profit.
Ben Dowsett, LondonI’m sick to death of disjointed railways.
Jake Morris, CambridgePublic transport is so crucial for some people and yet it’s so expensive and not run as a public service. We need this.
Alexander Chopra, LondonBritish Rail was the world’s second most efficient railway until the horrific mistake of privatising it was made. Now we have to suffer high priced shambles..
Jean Mertzanakis, LeedsIf BR reduces prices and doesn’t make me sit on my luggage from Leeds to London I might use trains again rather than National Express buses.
Barathan Kulothungan, ChelmsfordThe legacy of British Rail privatisation stands as a testament to systemic failure, marked by rising fares and declining service quality.
Joseph Redfern, CardiffCritical Infrastructure should be nationalised. Privatisation of rail has failed. Operators do not have the interests of the public at heart.
Roger WilliamsI’m fed up of paying full price for low quality service and double standards regarding blocking aisles.
Matt Chambers, GranthamNo to private railways.
Nicola Riley, RedcarIt would be good to have it back.
Kay Buckley, HuddersfieldBritish Rail should have remained in the public sector because the mayhem caused by ad hoc privatisation has wasted billions and upset so many people.
