They should never have been privatised in the first place.
Angelique Palombo, GlastonburyThis is needed.
Lynne Jackson, HinckleyCross Country Trains are a disgrace. The country urgently needs new rolling stock, even countries like Georgia can buy sparkly spacious Swiss trains.
Margaret Walters, HalifaxTime we had BR back. In fact, time we had all utilities back.
Fred Potter, DundeeIt should never have been privatised. We are allowing the rail companies to rip us off in return for poor services.
Lawson Cartwright, WorcesterBritain has the highest train fares in Western Europe. National Rail receives billions each year in grants so it is in all intents and purposes state-run.

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.
