Let’s end this 20 years of transport exploitation and disjointed thinking.
Oliver Banks, Shoreham-by-SeaInitially my hatred lay with Southern Rail (before that Connex). Now It lies with the idiotic decision to privatise in the first place. Bring back nationalised services.
Susan Tideswell, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.Even my father, with very right-wing sympathies, and who worked for BR, thought the privatisation was stupid.
Victoria Mayer, EdinburghSave us from this ludicrously complicated and expensive system – there has to be a better way.
William Paul Brook, CullercoatsBeeching got it wrong in the 60s and the Tories got it wrong in the 90s. We need a unified rail transport system for the UK.
Jerry Scales, AylesburyNational assets should not be sold off. We are laughed at by other countries.

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.
