The rail network is an essential public service.

The ever increasing pricing of commuting by rail in the UK is shameful and is pricing passengers off trains and reducing social mobility while still failing to delivery a corresponding increase in service levels.

If the East Coast Mainline under state control can deliver improved service levels and profit for the Government and taxpayer, then why not other lines?

A railway has very large overheads, and passengers will never cover these. We need to bite the bullet and fund our train services properly, and not for profit, as privatisation merely increases ticket prices.

It's ridiculous that a monthly fare from Brighton to London costs as much or more as monthly rent. It limits everyone to living in the same area as they work when really everyone should have to freedom to choose to travel whenever and from wherever without spending a fortune.

As the service will be ultimately run by an elected government,, it allows people to hold those who run the service responsible.

It should be a not-for-profit concern to facilitate much-needed reinvestment in the network so that a culture of constant improvement, innovation and environmental benefits can be developed. This includes the working conditions of it's staff whose expertise and commitment are paramount.

Increasing rail fares demanded by private companies deter people from using trains. It is in the national interest to promote train travel and will help us reach carbon emission targets. Railways should be state owned and not run for the profit of a few private companies.
