Louise Devlin, GlasgowOverpriced, late, with intimidating staff at ScotRail. One bad apple rots the whole cart.
Derek Haggar, LewesFor crying out loud, someone sort this country’s rail network out. We’re way behind Europe. It’s embarrassing.
Simon Gleaden, RetfordBritish Rail was doing well before it was privatised. It really was getting there, as the adverts used to say. Chris Green was a great railwayman and business leader.
Robert Street, DronfieldThe East Coast Line shows how successful public ownership can be, ploughing profits back into the Treasury. Privatisation is a failed ideology.
Sooriya McNorton, YorkOur railway network should be made national and not privatised.
John Wood, CromartyEnough is enough.
Richard Lewis, SheffieldPlease put Britain’s railways back to when we had the most efficient railways in Europe, i.e. when they were state run, like the majority of European ones are now.
Dee HurlockLeaves were never a problem for British Rail. It should never have been made a run-for-profit organisation.
Ben Dowsett, LondonI’m sick to death of disjointed railways.
Rob Fleay, DerbyshireAll this cheap tickets marketing spin is an illusion.
Mark Bentley, LeicesterPrivatisation has simply not delivered the benefits that were promised. For me, I never believed it would.
Harvey Booker, Burgess HillPrivate companies are bleeding off farepayers’ and taxpayers’ money for profit, with no benefits for passengers.
Michael Drain, LondonYes please.
Haotian Zheng, GlasgowI am very much in favour of nationalising UK rail. On my first day in the UK I had train cancellations on the Avanti West Coast. I hope the country can bring British Rail.
Iain Fergus, GlasgowDaily commuter – twenty rail trips a week.
Jim Aird, EdinburghBR should not have been privatised in the first place.
Ieuan Berry, NewportBring back British Rail.
Will Troth, DoncasterWe need more staff. Where are the good clean stations of the 50s?
Jeremy Tothill, OldburyNow would be a good time to re-nationalise British Rail.
Matthew Allen, PortsmouthInflation-busting fare increases year on year with nothing to show must stop. We are lining the pockets of shareholders with no net gain to ourselves.
Faith Matheson, EssexGreater Anglia are a joke.
Keith Rogers, BirminghamPeople before profit.
Stuart Dean, IngatestoneAbellio are ruining my life.
Bobby Webb, ManchesterDo it for the good of the people, not for private profit.
Ian Crawford, Leighton BuzzardTrain with standing room only is a joke. Livestock have more rights to travel safely Private companies always check the bottom line and are beholden to shareholders.
Pamela Mitchell, EdinburghThe only thing to increase since privatisation of our railways is the obscene profits for the company directors whilst passengers’ fares soar to astronomic heights.
Gary Clark, SunderlandOur railways would be much better suited in the public’s hands and not Cameron’s Spiv capitalists.
Merrilyn Hambleton, WarringtonThe rail system needs to be nationalised again, and this time run properly for the people of Britain.
Jacqueline McEvoy, Birmingham14 years I served under British Rail, then cast aside under Virgin. They should never have been privatised.
Ian Johnson, SelbyWe must make sure that it is a new British Rail with the right people running it, not like the people we had before.
