Stuart Curran, CooksbridgeInvest taxpayers’ money in the rail network, not in corporate welfare schemes.
Barry Buttigieg, LondonWe need a co-operative, not-for-profit railway with no shareholders and lower prices.
Steve Revins, BirminghamRailway workers and users together to fight for our interests.
Leonard Roberts, YorkEx BR traffic controller who had to work with current shambles
Graham Lenton, TadleyCome on. It was a terrible idea to privatise. Everyone can see that now. Government: Easy brownie points on offer here. Bring it back.
Andy Elliott, BelfastThe system is far too complicated and expensive.
Anne Atkins, BedfordPrivatisation has been a nightmare. No one is accountable and it is always another company’s fault. The idea was always flawed.
Ann Ferguson, Tyne and WearBritish Rail should never have been privatised in the first place. Bring ownership back to those who pay their taxes.
Stuart Owen, LondonPlease.
Tony Fielding-Raby, LincolnI’ve been a keen supporter for some time. More power to the campaign.
Gbenga Anisere, ReadingWhy take away people’s meal ticket when you can’t better their lives? Reduce rail fares and re-instate retrenched rail staff.
Edward Freeman, DundeePrivate interests should not profit from national infrastructure or a national service or a national utility at the expense of the public.
Colin Robinson, GatesheadPrivate enterprise is failing and is too expensive. Any surplus should go to the Treasury not to shareholders.
Brian RacherThe public transport system must be attractive enough to leave your car at home, thereby helping to save the planet.
Raquel ThokchomRe-open closed lines and stations as well to ease traffic pollution and the loneliness and alienation so many now face.
Janice Jarvis, Saltburn-by-the-SeaThe current privatised system is ludicrous, unless of course you’re one of the people making nice profits. Most of us just need a decent, simplified, efficient rail system.
Daniel Illingworth, BradfordIt’s time to end the naked profiteering of the privatised railways and run them for the benefit of those who use them.
Christopher Payne, BromboroughI’m a daily commuter suffering daily hell.
Peter Crane, NorthamptonA national rail transport network should be owned by the people and not run for private profit.
Martin Rayment, LoughboroughI’m sick of paying a ridiculous amount just to travel. I pay taxes and I feel absolutely robbed every time I’m forced to take the train,
Margaret Reynolds, DurhamWe do want our railways back in public ownership.
Jo Winship, HullIt used to work, not perfectly, but far better, and cheaper than the current mess.
Andrew Walker, AshfordRail journeys were simple under British Rail. Since privatisation, rail services have become expensive, disjointed, un-reliable and over-crowded. Privatise. No profit.
Matt Williams, WaterloovilleBring back British Rail.
Katerina Turner, ChelsmfordThird world service for first class prices. I’m sick of spending insane amounts of money on trains that are terrible.
Jason Warner, RaundsBring back British Rail. A unified railway is a good railway.
Dave du Feu, LinlithgowThe East Coast service shows that public ownership works best for passengers and for government.
Janet Weston, CowesNever mind HS2 and HS3. Let’s just get the railways unified. BR was far from perfect, but at least fares didn’t have to include a payout for shareholders.
Mark Parsons, BristolSave the planet. Give us a better public transport system.
Michael Brown, South ShieldsThis should never have been privatized in the first place. It was paid for by taxes – our taxes.
