Caitlin Mcleod, LondonKeep on.
Chris Osborne, NorwichThe divergence in prices and many promotions make booking for rail impossible.
Oliver Steward, NorwichReturn our railways to public ownership.
Ann Almond, ConsettOnly a unified rail system will work for passengers.
David Knibb Ba, WarringtonI feel that all major transport in the UK should be publicly owned, especially when the private owners have proved so incompetent.
Yb Browne, SidcupFewer carriages, fewer seats, far more expensive. Put the cash back into the railways, not the big boys’ pockets. It’s daylight robbery and we allow it to happen.
Keith Hall, SheffieldI agree with this. Also stop trying to privatise NHS.
Mark Kavanagh, LeedsWe need to re-establish fair prices for rail travel. Privatisation has simply enabled business greed to hike prices far beyond what is reasonable at the public’s expense.
Maureen Roe, DerbyIt’s ridiculous to have a situation where, in such a small country, people can’t afford to travel by train and have to travel on congested roads.
B J Gibbons, SouthamptonThe subsidies to the privatised companies are going into shareholders’ pockets. We need a properly integrated service. Only BR can do this.
Peter Stoodley, BradfordNo compensation for any of the companies currently running the railways. They’ve had quite enough already.
Richard York, NorthamptonNationalised rail certainly wasn’t perfect, but selling the family silver is far worse, especially when some of the best lines are those publicly owned now.
Ruth Atkinson-Wilks, BristolI just tried to book a day return journey to take my son to London for the day (leaving after 9.30am) in 3 weeks time and the cheapest option was £60. This is shocking.
Paul McNally, WashingtonI fully support the need for a publicly-owned and run railway in Britain.
Greg Sutton, FleetTime for a change.
Michelle Bates, LeedsRail travel is an essential part of daily life for lots of us and I believe that this service should be nationalised and focus on service not profit.
Simon Cullen, SudburyIt’s disgusting what the rail system has become. It’s got to a stage where public transport is squeezing the public, for whom the prices are ridiculous for such poor service
Steph Knowles, LeicesterPrivatisation is a disaster – time for new improved renationalisation!
R Marchal, ChelmsfordAll profits should go back into the system.
Stephen Burrows, ManchesterRe-nationalise now.
Roger WilliamsI’m fed up of paying full price for low quality service and double standards regarding blocking aisles.
Paul Hancock, FerryhillThey should never have been privatised. Complete rip-off now.
Ron Glatter, Hemel HempsteadI’m with you all the way.
Andrew Parr, LondonCan we please abandon the bankers’ railway (HS2) in favour of a policy that ensures heritage/community rail projects are properly linked to the national network?
Pete Redwood, YorkEast Coast mainline is the most successful rail company in the past 20 years. Nationalised rail works. Bring back British Rail.
Murray Sackwild, WareWe had one of the greatest railway networks in the world and it’s been broken up purely for private profit. It’s time to put it back together again.
Lee O’Callaghan, PeterboroughI am embarrassed by the state of our British railways service. As a commuter I am robbed every year of more money to prop it up. We must nationalise now.
Steve Garraway, AyrPrivatisation of utilities is completely mad. Capitalism will hold the people to ransom if it can and yet Britain keeps voting it in. Greedy people. Karma’s coming.
Alex Lewis, BangorDo we not owe this to the future generations? I miss the scene of an InterCity liveried train whizzing past the rural coastlines. British Rail all the way.
John Bibby, MorpethIt’s ludicrous subsidising railways with operating companies taking profits out of the subsidy.
