Let’s get back to a rational co-ordinated transport system.
Gurmeet Singh, LeedsWe need to save our billions from going to European railway companies and invest in our railways for a better service.
Harald Dahle, AbingdonInfrastructure utilities should be publicly funded and accountable to their users, not to their shareholders.
David Rae, LoughboroughOur railways should be British owned, not German (DB Schenker), French, Dutch, Canadian or American.
Andrew England, St AlbansSpending billions on HS2 when it’s cheaper to drive. If the government is committed to bringing emissions from traffic down then rail travel needs to be made competitive again.
Gus Cummins, BristolFor goodness’ sake nationalise the railway, subsidise it, make it affordable and reduce air pollution. Thank you.

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.
