Sally RennerThe sums just don’t add up. I would like my train journey to be cheaper than car travel or at least not wildly more expensive.
Abby Sullivan, LondonPublic transport should be in public hands. Our taxes shouldn’t be going to private corporations to make profit for them: they should go towards a better service.
Llio DaviesPrivatisation of public transport is criminal and should never have happened.
Grace Kavanagh, LondonTrains are more environmentally friendly than planes. Cut train fares and make them more efficient by uniting the service. Bring back British Rail.
Mark Nevitt, SandbachBring it back to the people. You know it makes sense.
Jonathan Dimsdale, HarrogateObviously, you have all forgotten that British Rail was never on time, equally expensive and passengers were treated as an unnecessary nuisance.
Jim Hutchinson, GatesheadThe sooner the better.
Allan J Douglas, ForfarPeople before profits and release the congestion on Britain’s roads.
Anna Donfrancesco, Forest RowExploitative and uncaring. Profit before humanity and safety. It is despised by everyone.
Anita Maunsell, NewarkPrivatised rail has only resulted in complicated and highly expensive services.
Paul Geraghty, WarringtonRe-nationalise British Rail to be run for the people not private profit. You know it makes sense.
Kay Turberville, LowestoftIf foreign state railways can make a profit out of our railways, why can’t our state?
Charlotte Young, DerbyThis country’s rail prices are disgusting. Look at the rest of Europe and take note. Government, we will not stand for this anymore.
Jack Scott, SwanageBring back British Rail.
Keith Donald, HarlowPrivate railway sucks.
Joe Kent, LeedsLet’s have a rail system that works for all our citizens and not large profits for a small number of people.
Aaron M, East SussexWhat we have now is the worst of both worlds – the service is worse and the cost of operation higher.
Alison Hall, WarwickLet’s sort this out so that we aren’t paying different amounts on different lines for the same journey (Birmingham to London for example).
Ann Matthews, ConsettLet’s have one company, our company, that can co-ordinate and keep things running smoothly, comfortably and cheaply.
Bob Pearson, ChelmsfordNone of the essential public services should ever have been privatised, transport especially. The backbone of a working successful Britain, strong and globally competitive.
Ben Smith, PontypriddBring back British Rail. Not for profit and make the British railways the most efficient in the world. We have a lot of catching up to do – way behind lots of nations.
Paul Sheeky, CreweIt’s a national service, so it’s obviously going to be more efficient to run it nationally.
Lee Osborne, SkiptonPublic transport should not be run for private profit.
Nora Ramage, GlasgowIt’s too important to be run for private profit.
Christopher White, BristolLet’s show some courage and invest in public transport.
Leanne Bennett, SunderlandBritain once owned many fabulous things. Now we barely own the air we breath.
Pauline Allies, MaidenheadThe transport infrastructure should be owned by all of us so we can develop a coherent transport policy for the future.
John Murray, EdinburghIt should never have been sold off in the first place. It was a public utility, subsidised by the taxpayer, and then sold for private profit.
Paul Goulden, DewsburyThe current rail structure seems to be a lesson in financial obscurity with little incentive to innovate or develop services in response to increased demand.
Tony Hartley, KendalI would like to see nationalisation of more than just the railways. The water utilities, Royal Mail, National Health, management and administration of local government.
