Lisa Potter, NuneatonFair prices from a fair company. Bring back British Rail.
Owen McGreevy, EdinburghThings need to change. We must have the worst railway in Europe.
William Quick, BristolPrivatisation has channelled public funds into private hands and left us with one of the most expensive and least efficient railways. We must renationalise now.
Andy Bond, AberdeenPrivatising the railways has been a disaster for nearly everyone in the UK. Transport in such a small country should be affordable. Instead it’s the world’s most expensive.
Stephen Redfern, SheffieldLet’s get a bit of pride back into the country.
Paul Lally, LiverpoolPrivatisation of the railways was a national disaster resulting in higher costs and poorer service. It needs to end now.
Roland Scales, WatfordBritish Rail wasn’t very good, but the current set-up is appalling.
Aubrey Brazier, DraycottI’m ex BR retired. Stop HS2 in the process. It was planned by people who can only draw straight lines.
Liz Verran, LondonPrivatisation only benefits the lawyers negotiating franchises.
Norman Clegg, BlackpoolBring back our low fare railways God Save British Rail.
Doug Moffatt, DurhamPrivatisation only benefits the rich.
Yasmin Chotai De Lima , GravesendI take the train every day. It is inefficient and overpriced.
Nancy NealIn the US the push for the privatisation of government functions and services has always resulted in reduced services at higher costs.
Alf Littler, KidlingtonThe 60s governments got it wrong and the Tories got it wrong in the 90s. We need publicly-run cost-effective railways, not to subsidise private firms to rip us off.
Bob Hayden-Gilbert, MachynllethThe railways being run by private companies just doesn’t work. A unified network run for people, not profit, is the only answer.
Reuben Reynolds, LeicesterEnd “profit before people”. Kill privatisation. Re-nationalise now.
Gordon Lee, Hemel HempsteadBring back BR.
Peter Baker, LondonI don’t see how an increasing cost to the taxpayer and passenger, on a monopoly, can be considered acceptable. It strangles the economy if nothing else.
Dennis Hart, ManchesterUn-privatise is the only way forward from this mess.
May Loose Jamal,I heart British Railways.
Dean Bell, Retfordit is time to take our core industries away from the thieves and fat cats and restore them to the public sector. People before profits. Off with their heads.
Joseph Wasnock, Welwyn Garden CityEconomy class is always absolutely packed.
Elizabeth Connell, BristolEssential services should not be run for the profit of the few. All profits should be used to keep fares as low as possible and to maintain the network.
Jane Skyrme, HerefordFair price for fares. No stockbroker style ticket buying. Stick to advertised prices, no unannounced hourly changes to ruin student travel budgeting.
Reece Churm, LeedsBring back British Rail and create a (North-South) Leeds metro line. Also no to HS2.
Steve Blackwell, NottinghamI believe all major infrastructure should be nationalised, so that it is controlled by government, thereby giving the voters ultimate control, not fat cats.
Nigel Holmes, HullBritish Rail can operate efficiently and as a profitable business under public ownership, for the benefit of the nation. It just needs the right people in charge.
Jessica Gale, NottinghamThis is our railway. It should be run as a service and not profit going into private hands.
Bruce Williams, BarmouthAs an ex BR employee it makes a world of sense, as passengers would benefit over and over again.
Anthony Wayne Simpson, CardiffLet the devil of the Thatcher years now and for always be behind us and let us learn from those with the technology of today so by this we all benefit.
