Stuart Moore, TruroPrivatisation has proved more expensive than BR.
Eileen Nicholas, MelroseAs a very frequent user of busy East Coast Trains which is now profit making, I feel the country should benefit, instead of private companies.
Nicholas Bradley, ExeterStop the rip-off prices. It’s the most expensive public transport in the EU.
Barry Lukins, BridgwaterBring the railways back into the public domain, where the taxpayer of this country will have a bigger say on how to run the system. Now we are being ripped off.
Chris Haines, WarringtonA single integrated rail enterprise is the most efficient and logical way.
Sam Flinders, DidcotThe railways need to be run in a non-profit manner.
Anne Roberts, BrodickI agree with all previous sentiments.
Dan Nash, West SussexI travel with Southern daily. If half the money poured into that franchise had been poured into British Rail, it would’ve been a success.
Denise Morell, Newbiggin-by-the-SeaPassengers before profits please.
Donald Peddie, SunburyIt’s Britain’s shame and we still subsidise it.
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.
Peter Gearing, EdenbridgeI’m fed up with poor service and news that shareholders get paid huge dividends.
Paul Rex Dando, Shepton MalletThey should be state owned, not private.
Maurice Thomas, UxbridgeExpect nothing to happen with the Tories.
Oliver Otway, SudburyRe-nationalise the power companies while you are at it, so they can’t blackmail you with power cut threats.
Susan Rogers, ManchesterIt was so much better when we ran it ourselves.
David B Jackson, LincolnIt’s supposed to be private but gets billions from us the taxpayers.
Margaret Buxton, KeighleyI want a fairly priced and fairly run train service.
Nigel Smith, LondonRe-nationalisation is long overdue.
Ray Laidlaw, North ShieldsEconomic and reliable rail travel is not a luxury but a requirement for a modern, successful economy. Get rid of the franchises and nationalise the railways.
Sylvia Gainsborough, CambridgeI often use the rail network, as I no longer drive. Passengers are still standing or sitting on the floor. It’s not good enough.
Jordan Smith, BristolStop the fares rip-off getting stupid.
Louis Thorne, CambridgeIt makes no sense to try to introduce competition into what is a natural monopoly that should be run as a public good.
Valerie Castle, WorcesterI do not drive and have always travelled by train. I love train travel and believe in it and public transport. Bring prices down for better use.
Ian Broadbent, BristolPower to the commuters and not the shareholders. Currently all profits go to shareholders and not back into the railway. It’s so subsidised it might as well be re-nationalised.
Talat Chaudhri, AberystwythMany of the lines removed by Beeching would now be profitable given subsequent economic development.
Warren McDonald, CroydonI’m fed up with rising fares and declining service.
Andrew Raine, OswestryYes I agree.
Elaine Craig, BrightonLet’s drag the rail network into the 21st century with investment in more then hanging plants.
Relsov Obshtestven, Sofia, BulgariaWe support you 100%. In Bulgaria government wants to sell our railways too and systematically to ruin our Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ).
