Rich Brassett, SawbridgeworthAt present no improvement in service or train conditions but yearly prices increase.
John Alan Ramsden, CleckheatonWell how bad is it now? Expensive, industrial action, we can’t get to Blackpool from West Yorks. Lines that need opening are stopped by incompetent managers.
Danielle O’Hara, LancashireWe have had enough. Fix this now!
Sue Brown, Bishops StortfordWe should re-nationalise not only British Rail but the Post Office, the Electricity and Gas companies and London Transport etc.
Alan TingleIf British Railways had received subsidies equivalent to those now received by the Train Operating Companies, we would still have the finest railway system in the world.
Michael Jinks, Richmond, YorkshireIt’s about time.
Michael Schouten, BrightonCut fares not staff.
James Goddard, LondonBring back BR. Great stuff.
Jahmin Balde, Ipswich & LowestoftAlthough I like the different companies and versatility in trains, private companies vary way too much in quality of service from one another and everything is confusing.
Debra Norgate, DewsburyBring back British Rail.
Malcolm Hunt, LondonBR seems to have run best when it was up for sale and had to prove itself before privatisation. If East Coast can do it, then I’m sure the whole network can too.
Lorraine Winson, ChesterfieldIf the private sector wants it, it’s because it makes them money, and know the government will bail them out if it loses. The state should make the profit if it takes the risk.
Tiffany Francis, StreathamI’m sick of terrible train services and extortionate pricing.
Stephen Peel, RedcarNationalise now.
Mark Williams, ManchesterYes please!
Paul Reid, LiverpoolTrain operators don’t give a toss about the service they offer, their customers or value for money.
James Fibbens, LondonIt’s unlikely to happen, but good luck anyway.
Daniel De Conceicao Silva, WorthingI totally agree with you. Bring back British Rail and dismantle Southern Railway. I am a regular commuter on the West Coast way and it is a disgraceful line.
Wayne Parr, Wiganit was the worst thing this country did, getting rid of British Rail.
Simon Groom, LutonThe current service Luton to London is appalling. It needs to be re-nationalised and run for the benefit of the travelling public and not shareholders.
Tracey AllenThey should never have been de-nationalised. It was nationalised because it didn’t work as a mish-mash of companies.
Dave Crowe, CreditonThis was a fatuous privatisation driven by greed and ideology (aren’t they all?) not public service and a sense of community.
Peter Cowan, SpaldingDOR have shown with East Coast how it can be done, but despite this the Coalition are dogmatically pursuing more failing privatisations. Unbelievable.
Nigel Hayes, KetteringPeople before profits.
Spencer Preece, HerefordStop the rip-off!
James Stevenson, HullbridgeCirculate East Coast’s financial figures.
Robert Davis, LanarkshireThe industry is structured for maximum profit and minimum investment for a cartel of unaccountable and untransparent rail companies.
Warren Neill, TodmordenThe railways should be placed in the ownership of the public, so that when it becomes profitable the revenue can be re-invested and not stolen by capitalists.
Simon Aves, EdinburghThe best part of the rail service these days is East Coast. Stop the privatisation, learn from the lesson of this publicly owned company.
Moira Gommon, BirkenheadBring back British Rail!
