Veronica Reilly, LivingstonWhen you watch the history of British Rail, the workers had such a pride in their jobs. Bring back British Rail. Less competition with apportioning blame.
James Long, ManchesterOrdinary people pay for the railways through fares and subsidy. Why can’t they be run for our benefit?
Stephen James Lemon, PortsmouthBritish Rail was far more profitable and efficient and affordable than the current system. Thus we need it back for the future.
Jason Miller, ChichesterPrivatisation is costing us, the tax payers, more than a nationalised railway. We demand a fairly-priced, nationalised railway.
Lynda Jones, WolverhamptonWe need a rail system that serves the community, not one that chases profits.

Bring Back British Rail is coordinated from Glasgow by Ellie Harrison, with the help of a small network of volunteers around the UK.
The campaign operates as a ‘non-charitable campaigning body’ and so is free to carry out political activity and act as a pressure group.
It aims to be a completely autonomous and transparent passenger-led organisation, which has no direct affiliation with any political parties.
