Kimberley Parker, New MiltonThe rail services provided are some of the most expensive, yet poorly run in the world. People are forced to drive for convenience, which is damaging our environment.
John Lintern, PlymouthTrains becoming overcrowded. Operating companies have supplied new rolling stock but there is a lack of decent luggage space on long distance trains.
Thomas John Wheeler, DyfedThe rolling stock leasing companies swallow up a hundred thousand pounds a year for each and every train – that money goes straight down the drain.
Andy Travis, LondonEnough is enough. The rail infrastructure in this country is beyond terrible. It’s expensive, embarrassingly bad and the companies are without culpability.
Carole Birtwhistle, BiggleswadeI would like to see more people able to afford trains for their daily commutes – better connections, clear information about delays and better cyclists’ storage areas too.
Neil Broomfield, WarringtonNationalisation please.
Bill Lawrence, MexboroughIt is economic and social madness to continue with a privatised railway system in a modern society.
Beth Moseley, NorwichBring back British Rail.
Kevin Wells, HarlowOne unified structure will save tens of millions of pounds in layers of management we are putting up with at the moment.
Tim Rauscher, WienI am from Austria and Britain needs British Rail.
Arkhenatan Dot Com, SydenhamIsn’t it illegal to privatise public transport?
Raymond Batchelor, ShildonBring back BR and let’s get rid of these MPs that are ruining this country. Privatisation doesn’t work and never will.
Jack McCarthy, WigtonThe rail network needs to be run for the people. We subsidise it anyway.
Susan Scarth, EdinburghRail travel is a human necessity and should be made accessible to all in availability, price and quality.
Isaac Murphy, CambridgeThe only way to keep prices fair.
Roy Spearman, RedhillThe old British railway was not as bad as the governments of that time make out. They lied. Make them look like railway people by bringing the old uniforms back..
Paul Hollister, StockportEnd the fraud and corruption by the City of London and the bought politicians.
Frances Tham, LondonThis Government should be sacked.
Jordan Muscott, BristolThe cost of the trains in Britain compared to the rest of Europe is an absolute disgrace. Its obvious that privatisation hasn’t helped the service at all.
Lisa Gillott, WalesBritish Rail was a national institution. It should be brought back. If the people want it they should get it, and Parliament should do what we want.
Vivienne Aldred, PrestonPublic transport should be owned by the public.
Robin Brown, Newcastle-upon-TynePlease – a not-for-profit, consumer-owned organisation.
Paul Medley, LondonIt makes me sick that taxpayer’s money is spent on rail upgrades, via Network Rail, whilst these private train companies are making huge profits.
Jacob Smith, CardiffThese companies operate with large subsidies from the Government which aren’t re-invested into services but into the pockets of the shareholders.
Eileen Smith, RushdenYes please.
Mark Ransley, West MallingYou should not be able to publicise a service which many of us have no choice but to use. It’s just wrong.
Tim Miles, LondonIt’s an essential public service.
Paul Coombs, SwanseaBring back BR.
Anne Stockport, PeterleeAs soon as shareholders and profits come in, consumers needs go out.
Jon Matthews, SwanleyVote Green to bring back British Rail.
