Keith Bryant, SandownLet’s bring to an end the privatised fiasco that provides the worst service for the highest fares in Europe.
Nick Jackson, Harrow WealdEnough of the corrupt Tories ripping us all off. The railway should never have been privatised in the first place. Greedy profiteers..
Darren StraceyPlease bring it back. Ticket prices are way too high and over-crowded trains. More rolling stock is needed.
Edward Grassby, LondonI want a rail service that efficiently runs cheaply for the public, not an overpriced service that is unreliable.
Hazel Mayamba-Kasongo, ChesterI love Virgin who have the west coast franchise. Their service is excellent – trains comfortable and staff outstanding. However, the rest is a mess.
Thomas McCausland, ManchesterNo more profit-sharing giants.
Parham Azima, LondonBring it back asap British Rail.
Peter Hanson, St HelensWe should concentrate on the good points of British Rail instead of the curly sandwiches put down.
Elwyn Johnson, BridgwaterMy wife recently endured an horrific journey from Manchester to Taunton standing for three hours in a space approx. 12 square inches in the stair-well of the train.
Karen Haywood, ChesterfieldNo doubt HS2 will be privatised once the tax payer has financed this white elephant.
Joshua Lunn, SwindonLower fares, better paid staff, more branch lines, accountability.
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.
Margaret Rumble, OakhamNot before time.
Jack Parkinson, MaltonDue to the high numbers of delays and cancellations, TransPennine should be stripped of its franchise. In fact, the entire railways should be re-nationalised.
David Herbert, SunderlandPrivatisation has not worked. Public subsidies have tripled, fares are much more expensive and investment levels inadequate. It’s not what we were promised at privatisation.
Rory Fraser, InvernessLet’s do this.
Joe Duncombe, RochfordPrices constantly rising, with services getting worse. I’m fairly certain that these private companies have a monopoly and that a monopoly is illegal.
Rachel Whittaker, BathI’m sick of rubbish expensive trains. The current rail companies couldn’t give a toss as long as they rob us dry.
Luke Phillips, LiverpoolTrain ticket prices are ridiculous and the rail services are bad compared with other European countries.
Mark Kapalo, TelfordUK railways are in a shocking state.
Peter Roberts, EdinburghProfits should be re-invested in the business and not frittered away to shareholders (whilst accepting taxpayer subsidy). Nationalise and improve the service from within.
Domenico Bevilacqua, ChathamRailways have to be public, because they are a public service. No private profit to be made, but save and widespread transportation.
Ruth Bennett, LondonAn affordable and reliable service, not for private profit.
Helen Bridgwood, New BarnetPlease let me know when you have more t shirts. I would like three for me, my son and my husband.
Josephine Keers, BeaworthyI actually live in Halwill Junction. Previously I lived down the road at Bude. It used to be so easy to get to Exeter and beyond when there was a railway back in the 60s.
Adrian Martinez, EdinburghMcNulty said we are paying 40% more than we ought for privatised rail. No other EU country has privatised as fully as we have. UK has the most expensive fares in the EU.
Brian Mitchell, LondonIt is ludicrous that we have to pay for an over-expensive, inefficient railway system because of the political dogma of politicians.
Mark Halden, St AlbansRegular commuters need a break. Rail fares are overpriced, the most expensive in Europe. Rolling stock is old. Not enough space on trains. Bring back British Rail.
Osvalds Zarins, BicesterThe current railway system is a complete rip-off. I’m not paying the same as my week’s rent just to get to the airport.
Lee Fisher, MiddlesbroughIt ran better in public hands
