Paul L Ellis, SheffieldPrivatising British Rail was one of the worst decisions made by any government resulting in the disjointed and overpriced structure we have today. Time to change back.
Rikki Ferguson, LondonNaked profiteering for private owners at the expense of rail travellers is wrong.
Karl McKay, TorquayTransport should be made to help the country not make a few a huge profit.
Adam Haslam, SilsdenI spend over £1000 every year yet I get a seat only now and again. This is not acceptable. And the prices keep going up and the service gets worse. Zero logic.
Colin Jones, NottinghamTransport and infrastructure are fundamentals in any society. To leave them to market forces and the private sector is just irresponsible.
Polly Stubley, BristolFair fares for all.
David Jones, Connah’s QuayI’ve just returned from Hamburg where I’ve been working for nine months. Trains, buses and ferry services are second to none, all on time and a fair pricing structure.
John Tait, HarrowStop the Business Critical Rules programme.
Brian Bushell, PorthmadogThe present system is a financial disgrace.
Frances McGinlay, LargsJust bring it back.
Mike D’ambrogio, LiverpoolI wish we could bring back British Rail trains and Inter City, Inter City Eurostar, British Rail ferries.
Ruth Sanchez, BrightonSouthern Rail are hopeless, useless and a total disgrace. They charge the highest fares in Europe yet providing the most awful and unreliable service.
Eric Mival, StamfordBefore British Rail was privatised one did not have to work out possibly weeks in advance how to book a trip and keep the price as low as possible.
Mary Price, WorthingTo replace highly trained guards with glorified customer service operatives is ridiculous and an insult to rail users.
Phil Mason, ManchesterNo to HS2. Yes to a decent Liverpool-Leeds line.
Sharon Burton Fletcher, RedditchHow can anything dismantled and fragmented be as efficient, stable and manageable as something whole. Unite it or give it all to Richard to run.
Mary T Johnston, EdinburghBring it back. It works for the people.
David Yewdall, BlackpoolRe-nationalise the railway and get rid of the gangsters who run it for their shareholders. Let’s get DB to run it. After all that is the German government, not shareholders.
A Beckett, BristolRailway investment for the passengers not for the fat cats’ and shareholders’ dividends. People before profit.
Andrew Cremin, Merthyr TydfilThe railways should be owned by the public, charging low price rail fares, owned by us, for the people, by the people.
John Rawlinson, StaffsService for the people not subsidies for the already wealthy.
Albert Clauson, LondonIt really does just seem the sensible option when so many rail companies offer such a poor service and unpredictable prices.
Cyril Carroll, RuncornIt can’t happen soon enough.
Chris Venables, SheffieldI want the railways to be publicly run for the public good and to cut down on private car and lorry usage.
Daniel Haynes, HalsteadRe-nationalising the railways will ultimately help the environment.
Richard Stephenson Winter, MorpethI am increasingly of the opinion that natural monopolies should be in public ownership.
Stevan Hezseltine, Carshalton BeechesStop putting money into the pockets of the greedy privatised railway owners.
Marie Smith, DurhamI believe strongly that all public transport, and particularly the rail network, should be nationalised.
David Robinson, DewsburyRailways should be run as non-profit-making.
John McIntosh, ThornhillNothing taken out of public ownership is an improvement. All they are interested in are profits for shareholders. The only losers are the consumers.
