Nick Anderson, Tunbridge WellsTravel should not be private. Privatisation does not work for all. Rail first then Air.
Keith Allinson, BlaydonThe sooner the better. Stop fat cats ruining our country.
Alberto Torres, LondonRailways are a natural monopoly and should be subsidised by the state. No more profit before people. Nationalise the railways.
Dave Llewellyn, CambridgeSort it out, we should be proud of our railways.
Jane Geraghty, NewarkThe East Coast line has been amazing since it went back into public ownership. Why change something that is working so well.
Jamie Mckale, LondonNationalisation will create price stabilisation through economies of scale. BBBR.
Keith Kennils, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast is making a profit under state ownership. Keep it that way. Stop the rip-off price rigging of train tickets.
Phillipa Partington, BedfordA simple, unified rail system with standardised fares has got to be better than the current complicated and still-inadequate rail provision we have.
Peter Morgan, Barrow-in-FurnessReally, fares need to be cheaper.
Rhys Thwaites-Jones, AberystwythThere are no motorways or dual carriageways in our county and the railways are vital. Invest and reinstate the rail link from South Wales to Mid and North Wales.
Jane Dring, WakefieldStanding between Wakefield and London again because of short formation – told to just be grateful I’m on the way at all. Got to be able to do better than this.
Graeme Allister, DunfermlineAs the tax payer already contributes to the private rail network we might as well own it.
Damian Toal, BrightonI’m sick to death of funding shareholders’ lifestyle over service.
Will Britain, Sutton BengerMy name is Britain and I still hate this sodding country.
Lewis Cox, LondonWe have the worst rail network in Europe. It’s time to undo the damage caused by Major’s privatisation. A network run for the many and not for the profits of a few.
David Houghton, Lytham St Anne’sYes, I agree that it should be returned to British Rail.
Sally Millar, EdinburghBritish taxpayers and rail customers pay for rail services – but don’t get the service they need – and private companies and shareholders take the profits. It’s mad.
David Ventress, AlsagerEast Coast trains – nationalised and making a profit – need we say more?
Karen Robertson, EdinburghAll profits should be invested in the services, not given to shareholders.
Jodie Morris, WatfordI can’t afford to get home from university most of the time.
Judith Wade, Hemel HempsteadPrivatisation has made rail services much worse. Trains are cattle trucks not for humans.
Aaran McCarthy, WarringtonBring it back.
Stephen Bailey, BiggleswadeEssential services should not be foreign-owned.
Pauline StephensThe railway system is more expensive now, both in fares and operating costs.
Jo Winship, HullIt used to work, not perfectly, but far better, and cheaper than the current mess.
Nicholas Smith, WrexhamWe need order to our rail networks, they are so disrupted.
Colin Bryan, NewportNational Rail would be far better than what we have now.
Rosalind Readhead, LondonA transport system that works democratically for the whole of the UK should not be in the hands of profiteers.
Alan Ransley, BroadstairsRetired rail worker, both British Rail and private. I know which is best for the country. BBBR.
