Privatisation gives the weak quality of service, because it is focused on how to make the greatest profits. In London, public transport is far too expensive.

Linda Ringrose, NottinghamThe train is my favourite form of transport but now I’m retired train travel is a luxury that is becoming one I cannot afford.
Paul DaviesThe current situation is appalling. When I was a youngster I wouldn’t hesitate to get the train to London, but I need an extension on the mortgage to go now.
Alan Hopkins, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe privatisation was only conceived with one aim – profit for the few. Any fool could see that chopping the network into little bits would seriously undermine its efficiency.
Kevin McDonnell, MansfieldDo you really think all these companies are running the railway at a loss? Why not keep it in this country and public ownership?
Hugh Butcher, TadcasterI travel the rails a lot. East Coast mainline is by far the best in terms of service, ticket price, and customer care. It is owned by us and makes a surplus for us.

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.

We welcome West Midlands Railway being brought back into public ownership today ๐ฅณ But, if control over these lines is devolved to the Mayor of the West Midlands in the future, there is nothing in the current #RailwaysBill to prevent re-privatisation ๐จ Heidi Alexander for Swindon South and Keir Mather MP must sort this! @top fans ...
