George Buka, 35, says he thinks privatisation has been “a bit of a mess” with prices increasing, delays and train driver strikes all making life more difficult for commuters.

“I want to see the fares decrease, much lower fares,” he says.

He says people visiting the UK from the rest of Europe see train prices here as “a bit of a joke” because they are so high.
