The right incentives and motives for efficient high performance can be executed from within public hands, not just by the groans of shareholders.

Stephen Clutterbuck, Upton-upon-SevernPlease bring back British Rail, as it is getting absolutely expensive now to go by train. The companies are putting the prices up and the railways are not up to scratch.
Adam Stacey, WakefieldExtortionate rail fares and ancient, late-running trains. Look at Wakefield Kirkgate. I’ve been told that the train is late due to an abandoned freight train blocking platforms.
Jasmine Mohammed, Walton-on-ThamesOverpriced rail travel is unfair and unnecessary. There is little to no improvement to facilities to warrant these price hikes. Re-nationalise the rail system now.
Colin Hart, LowestoftOnce a pride in what we had, but now an embarrassment.
Joe Loughrell, LondonEnough is enough, I don’t care about fancy stations with shops and restaurants. I just want to go to work and get home with the minimum fuss.

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.
