Amy Leach, LeedsRailways are simply not a service that can be run for private profit. There’s only one line there, so competition isn’t a natural feature.
Christina Sosseh, Milton KeynesEver since it was privatised the cost to us has gone up, while the rail companies rake in millions in profits and subsidies for keeping it in shape. It shouldn’t be allowed.
Reynold Hutchinson, Berwick-upon-TweedAnother example of the rape of this country by Westminster.
Ian Grainger, LondonRe-nationalise our railways to ensure a publicly run and accountable service. It’s time to end the fares rip off.
Thomas JohnstonBritish taxpayers paying to keep European fares low.
Paul Rum, HoveWe need a subsidised system of travel to help get us to work – not delay and tax us.
Alex Rolfe-Sanders, LondonSouthern Rail are useless and expensive.
Douglas Oxer, BoltonThe Railway is for the people not the shareholders. It’s time to re-nationalise.
Ross Taylor, HinckleyI completely agree with British Rail and I believe that privatisation has not served the purpose it was meant to.
Tom TibbitsBring back the railway as a national asset for national advantage – it needs us.
Hazel Edwards, Barrow-in-FurnessBring back efficiency.
Damian LineDamn Southeastern trains.
Steve Emsley, HuddersfieldShocking company, greedy CEO.
Daniel Holt, ClimpingLet the people make the decisions!
David Connelly, BuryThe original sale of British Rail has proved to be a costly mistake for commuters and the public purse.
Lena Shukla, LondonOver-priced, badly run, a shambles that is our railway system. Bring back a unified British Rail that is affordable and reliable.
Jack Heywood, HarrogateOur rail services are an embarrassment when compared to those of our fellow European nations. We owe it to ourselves to sort it out.
John Robinshaw, LittleboroughGood luck.
Mike Domingue, HexhamIt would be great to also see improvements to rolling stock used on regional services like here on the Carlisle to Newcastle line.
George Holmes, SaddleworthA six mile journey on my rural Yorkshire line costs £5.80 for a single (Greenfield to Marsden) and the service is only one train per hour. BBBR!
Sheila Henderson-Squara, Whitley BayDisgusting way of selling tickets. Must be illegal, surely.
Michael Barlow, DurhamGNER was the most efficient service in the country when back in public hands, which says it all. Privately owned means profit before investment.
Will Bale, Caerphillythe cost of rail travel in the UK is getting more expensive but is still increasingly inefficient. It should be re-nationalised.
Mike FriendThe trains were privatised under the Tory mantra that everything not private is useless, now we have a few wealthy people getting mega rich at everyone’s expense.
Janine Gallagher, HuddersfieldWe need to take back control of our railways, so we get cheaper rail fares and better service.
John Dadacz, Sutton-in-AshfieldYes unify the rail services; you know it makes sense.
Gillian Trainor, NorwichPrivatisation hasn’t worked for the customer. Let’s have a joined up rail service that works for the customer. Competition hasn’t improved anything.
John Marriott, HarlowTrains for the people, not for profit.
David Shaw, SwindonRe-nationalise. It’s that simple.
Harry Keane, Gillingham, KentPublic services should be run for the public good, not private profit.
