Douglas Isbell, DorchesterThe safety of rail travel is being put at risk more than ever before all in the name of profit. Since it was all privatised, removing guards will only cause more problems.
Alastair Rowe, Mylor BridgeHear hear.
Patrick Spain, Milton KeynesYes to re-nationalisation, but I do think they should be run for profit, with profits used for re-vamping our railway lines and stations, future and for re-opening lines.
Dorothy Robinson, IrchesterThere must be a strict control over the cost of fares for rail travel. It is fast becoming unaffordable to ordinary working class people.
Callum Smith, LondonWe simply must re-nationalise to guarantee fair fares for all.
John Pulman, LondonInfrastructure should be publicly-owned and run.
Rob Tulip, ChesterfieldI hope it makes a difference.
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..
Carol Gavaghan, LondonThe rail network ran better under BR. It should be run as a service, not for profit. Commuters are just subsidising the service for the benefit of shareholders.
C C, LincolnBR was better than we have now, and affordable and reliable. It was fantastic. Bring back BR.
Andrew Gays, LeicesterStop putting profits above people.
Frances McGinlay, LargsJust bring it back.
Cyril Fitzgerald, PontypoolThe UK tax payer has subsidised rail companies by £102.68billion since 1985, together with rail fare increases of up to 300% since 2004. It’s a disgrace.
Georgy Davis, EdinburghI’m tired of expensive rail travel.
Jack Smith, TotnesI want British Rail back.
Rachel Pollard, WatfordBeing an ex BR employee I would dearly love to be that proud person who says I work for BR again. It was a great organisation and like a second family to me.
George Clements, PooleToo expensive.
Anthony Ryan, HullPrivatisation equals poor service and higher prices.
Peter McCracken, ShrewsburyEnd other governments and countries creaming money off our railways. Re-nationalise and then reopen disused lines.
Matt Hearnden, IpswichStop the rot and get rid of Abellio Greater Anglia now.
Gordon Leach, PortsladeHaving experienced the shambles of Southern and the marginally better Arriva Trains Wales services it is high time they were done away with and re-nationalised.
Estelle Mageean, BarnsleyI demand we have our railways back.
JamesThe only investment I can see in the railways, is in painting the stations in their company colours
Libby Smith, NorwichIt’s ours not yours.
Elaine Savage, SaltburnUnited Kingdom is the shame of Europe due to expensive transport.
Mark Lee, HarlowI think it should all go back to how it was. The trains ran better back then, not like now, and the tickets were cheaper.
Stuart Butler, LondonTfL is often held up as an example of good service. East Coast made the government money when it was DfT- run. How this doesn’t make sense is beyond me.
Geoff Lamb, East GrinsteadAnd nationalise it as well.
Patricia Dellar, RoystonOur rail network should be the envy of the world but sadly it lags far behind other countries in the western world. Our governments have failed to invest.
Wendi Condon-Greening, BorehamwoodWhenever companies are privatised fat cats are always the ones to benefit and the public always end up paying the extra.
