AngusRailways should be run for the benefit of the passengers and not the operators.
Liane Hambly, NottinghamI am trying to sort out my parents’ assistance for travelling tomorrow. We have to ring a different number for each part of the journey because each train line has their own.
Neville Hymus, LiverpoolWe need more control of the costings and fares.
Bill Moss, LondonAs an ex BR employee I am very aware of how standards of customer service have declined to near extinction in the past 30 years.
Jennie Cummings-Knight, CromerWe are gradually losing many facilities that used to be exclusively British – let’s keep this one, at all costs.
Maggie Gallimore, NottinghamJust give it back, please.
Geoff Mills, WakefieldBring back British Rail. We are demanding a re-unified national rail network, run for people not profit, as it was meant to be in the first place.
Graham Towler, NorthamptonThe current system is complicated, no matter how hard it is tried to be portrayed as simplified for our benefit. There are far too many ways to book and I feel cheated.
Maxine Jackson, LiverpoolCan’t wait to ride on a British Train once more.
Adrian Barker, PaisleyWhy sell off our country’s infrastructure?
Belinda Wiggs, SheffieldBring back British Rail.
Ed Dolman, LondonThe current rail system simply doesn’t work. Children have to pay just to travel to school. Adults are forced to accept ridiculous and rising fares.
Major Phil Stout, SawbridgeworthStop TOCs making massive profits at the expense of the public traveller whilst providing a far worse service.
Janet McLoughlin, ManchesterBring back British Rail.
Gregg Burnell, ChesterfieldI’d love to use trains more but, almost every time I do, I’m staggered by the inefficiency and outrageous cost of the service. It needs to change.
John Stannard, NorwichIt’s an expensive (non-competitive) mess, costing taxpayers and travellers dear and should be run again as a national, public service, as in other countries.
Ann Jarvis, DevizesThe sooner our rail network, or fragmented network, is re-nationalised the better.
Charlotte Peters Rock, KnutsfordWhat we have now is shambolic and has been ever since they split it. We need a re-joined rail network, with a slew of newly re-opened stations, especially in Middlewich.
Colin Potter, PontefractJust like the sorry state of the fuel utilities, privatisation of the railways shares one glaring similarity. The clear and simple fact is that privatisation does work.
Wayne Cargill, LondonLet’s get back all that has been privatised to make the rich richer.
Victoria Hunt, DoncasterTrains are way too expensive. I cannot afford to use them any more and I have to look for jobs in my own town as commuting would not be financially possible.
Joan Edbury, BaildonWe need a transport system that deals with traffic congestion and carbon emissions on the roads. The railways could do this.
Terence Dart, WhitchurchKeep up the good work!
Owen Bushell, AltonI wish the absurd state of our industry would end and get back to a single, no-nonsense organisation, with no shareholders, just public service.
Haldane Isaksen, ThorneRe-nationalise now.
Paula Boakes, PontefractKeep it simple. Public ownership for an effective public service.
David Olivier,Keep up the fight.
Arwen Nicholson, CambridgeThe fares are ridiculous and unfair. Rail travel is far more environmentally friendly than car driving and should be affordable for all.
Yann-Eric D’addario, LondonEnough sky-high fares, increasing year in year out for a service that is only becoming worse and only profit driven.
Peter Jones, PrestonPrivatisation was the civilian equivalent of a war crime.
