Noreen O’Leary, SouthseaRail users have been subsidising the bloated capitalists for far too long.
Suzanne Jefford, LeicesterStop the ridiculous system where it’s cheaper to travel by car to London than it is by train, leaving empty trains and overcrowded motorways.
Anna Farlow, LondonThe transport system is too disjointed, causing confusion for users and permitting all of those companies concerned to make profits which should, by rights, be OUR profit.
Laurence Eccles, BirminghamThe highest walk-on fares in the world and at least twice the subsidy British Rail used to get. Network Rail’s debt has now exceeded an eye-watering £30 billion!
Tony Cook, Lyme RegisWe need investment in an efficient and affordable rail system.
Harry Neeve, BarnsleyI’m actually sick of foreign governments jacking up our rail fares and simply not caring. What we need is our railways run by the government with more investment and care.
Pamela Morris, LeedsI frequently travel by rail and East Coast is by far the best and most comfortable rail service and has made a profit. It is far better than the private rail.
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.
Liz Lacey, LiverpoolI have used trains for thirty years and have experienced the service drop and prices rise consistently due to greed and incompetence. Enough of this.
Peter Burrows, DunstableThe railways have for too long been an industry wedded to shareholders and profit and not to service delivery. That has to change.
Lindsay Hatherley, LampeterTransport is for all, not just the rich. Give us back what is ours.
Andrea Dudding, YorkPublicly-owned railways cost 30% less than our fragmented private ones. No joined-up thinking by government.
Dom Sellars, ElyPaying almost £9 every day to go to college is simply ridiculous.
Kate Tomes, Maidstone.To centralise and make it less about profit is the only way.
Tim Brown, LeedsEnough of high priced and shoddy services for the traveller.
Jennie C-Knight, CromerPrivatisation drives up prices and encourages companies to make too much money out of a public service.
Dympna Child, WareEnough is Enough. Stop robbing people and making their lives a misery. All everyone wants is to be able to get to their job at an affordable cost.
Martin Catchpole, IpswichBring it back. The people’s railway.
Meic Batten, MaestegThe present set up is wasteful.
Tim Rolls, MorpethPublic service makes a profit for the public, and the priority is on service. Private ownership makes a profit for the owner, and the priority is profit.
Kimble Perry, DoverIf we want to get more people in trains and off the roads we need affordable prices. More passengers legitimise railway investment.
Christopher MaddenAt least a re-nationalised rail service will be accountable to its users.
Mitchell Hurd, AbingdonIf British Rail do make a comeback, hopefully it will mean BR engineering and more capacity on XC’s Voyager routes as these are some of the longest direct in the UK.
Derek Pearson, Southend-on-SeaSimply take contracts back in-house as they expire. It is so simple.
Douglas Park, LondonThere’s absolutely no excuse at all for privatisation, never mind any so-called justification whatsoever.
Roz Lucas, PenrynPut Michael Portillo in charge of British Rail. He must be independent of any political party, like the Queen.
Steven Sayer, NorwichBring back British Rail, so the profits go back into the system, and not into somebody’s pocket. We had a great service from Norwich to London Liverpool St. before.
Peter McQueen, CreweBring it back into public ownership.
Ernie Mirfin, AshfordGive it back to the public who own it and stop the profits going to shareholders.
