John Sherwell, MargateIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Paul Baskeyfield, Church StrettonEnd the crazy ticket price lottery and bring back direct trains from Shrewsbury to London.
Graham Duddridge, PetersfieldWe’re passengers, not customers.
David Partner, FromeTrain services are less reliable and more expensive than 100 years ago. How can the madness of HS2/3 be considered before a proper joined-up rail service for all?
Kevin Davies, HatfieldLet common sense prevail.
John Raven, EdinburghPrivatisation was driven by WTO in the first place, not for the public good. Rail privatisation was the worst of all. Crazy prosecutions for having wrong tickets.
Helen Thorn, LewesBring back affordable train travel for commuters.
Kieran Shortt, TelfordThank you.
Simon Ford, GlastonburyReopen as many of the stations as possible closed by the Beeching review. Glastonbury has no station. Neither does Wells or Shepton Mallet in Somerset.
Paul Hathaway, StaffordIt’s time the railways are nationalised again. The private companies have reaped millions in profit and failed on all levels. Unacceptable.
Caz MoweAbout time.
Audrey Walsh., PortsmouthThe railway companies have for too long been allowed to treat passengers as dupes to fund the managers’ high salaries, and their bonuses, and shareholders.
Bobby Sayers, LondonBring it back.
Innes Ross, KilmarnockIconic.
Steven Houghton, WakefieldNon-privatisation.
Robert Powell, Stockton-on-TeesStop rail companies avoiding tax here while shipping rail profits and taxpayer subsidies abroad. East Coast line is a great example of what public ownership can do.
Neil Spowart, WellingboroughStrikes wouldn’t have been allowed when the railways were owned in the public sector.
Mike Dempsey, GlenrothesAbsolute shambles since privatisation with massive amounts of money going to shareholders instead of being invested in the railway system of the UK.
Fiona Lennard, GlasgowI feel that a country as small as the UK should have a unified and properly-funded railway service under state control. Contrast French/German railways with ours.
Neil Dunham, DartfordEnd the rip off
Pat Campton, HullThese people are ripping off the British public big time. Most of us can no longer afford to go anywhere by train. The pricing system is ludicrously complicated.
Dan Brown, DurhamPlease end the privatisation that destroyed Britain.
Sean Green, SouthendGreedy shareholders.
Peter Hubberstey, PrestonI’m sick of bogus fares and little tricks like split tickets. We want a fair fare system..
Robin Michael Tinsley, Church CrookhamBritish Rail were getting there (to quote their advertising slogan) and then those dolts at Whitehall sold it off. Now it’s a shambles.
Luis Osborne, Bexhill-on-SeaI’m fed up having to get on a bus when I’ve paid for a train. There’s engineering on the lines every weekend.
Cynthia Fleming, GranthamSome things in life should not be about making a profit.
Ian Carnew, BristolKeep up the good work.
Brian Russell, SwanseaSave our branch lines.
Joseph Harrison, WolverhamptonReunify to bring down the stupidly expensive train fares!
