Tomos Jones, RuthinFed up of waiting for trains.
Tony Whitfield, PrestonRe-nationalise the railways.
Carlo Ferri, OswestryFrom Glasgow I can’t get home to visit family due to the high cost of all transport. But you know when trains are beyond ridiculous when it becomes cheaper to fly home.

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.
