Robert Wells, LeicesterGive back to the people.
Brenda Topley, LeedsWhy privatise something which is making a profit and doing the job well?
Richard Royle, LancasterNo state subsidies for private operators to get rich at our expense.
Ann Foster, LiverpoolWe used to provide non-stop InterCity services, had lots of local services, allowed any route and had routes to holiday destinations. Who said we don’t need these anymore?
Christopher Morton, DurhamI am not a believer in nationalisation unless it is an obvious choice. How else can a population which is now so diverse move across the country without cars?
Roger Theaker, LiverpoolPrivatisation has been a disaster for passengers and a bean feast for rail companies.
Gareth Williams, WenvoeWe need cheaper fares and profits ploughed back into the system. Shareholders should be supporting the system now not the taxpayer, unless we re-nationalise the system.
Louis Thorne, CambridgeIt makes no sense to try to introduce competition into what is a natural monopoly that should be run as a public good.
Timothy Selvage, Milton KeynesService standards have definitely declined. Buying tickets on the day is robbery, especially on lines where there aren’t even enough carriages to sit down in.
Trevor Burr, BirminghamThere’s no reason why it can’t be done. Just don’t re-franchise when the current ones come to an end. But government is in hoc to international capital and Brussels.
Mary Taylor, LondonJeremy Corbyn as PM will re-nationalise the railways and I’m looking forward to it.
David J Page, PortsmouthI am a former railwayman and think bringing back British Rail wouldn’t be a backward step.
Mathew Taylor, ManchesterPlease re-nationalise the rail network.
John Hague, LoughboroughThe current rail system is a total mess. Franchising has not worked and we are over-charged for a poor standard of service compared to other EU countries.
Barry Hewland, BrightonThe sooner the better. Stop fat cats ruining our country.
Stuart Edwards, BirminghamPrivatisation is rubbish. All that matters is profit, never mind the public.
Patrick Hilley, KeighleyGreat idea, about time.
Andrew Stock, ColchesterI’m bored with paying to run Europe’s rail network with the profits from ours.
Steve Beesley, LeedsAll utilities needed by the nation should be owned by the nation and run for the nation, not for profit.
M Newman, EdinburghRight now we the British public are wasting millions of pounds each year on a joke of a so-called not-for-profit rail network so that companies can profit from the people.
Dave Emson, BedaleIn Europe you have high quality train networks under one direction. The UK needs to follow suit.
Chris Romberg, ShrewsburyBritain needs a unified rail network that serves everybody, not a fragmented, inefficient and over-priced system serving its rich owners and self-interested politicians.
Paul Bright, BournemouthBringing Back British Rail will save millions of lives on our roads and help save the NHS. It is a sensible way to fix the UK economy.
William Shearer, LondonThe great experiment should now end. Privatisation has not worked. Talent has been lost as train operating companies now work in ‘silos’.
Doris Brunt, BiggleswadeThere is overwhelming support to restore our railways to public ownership and politicians must listen.
Sheila Loffill, KnaresboroughIt’s time this government realised that private isn’t always better than public. It’s time to re-nationalise.
Marwan Mohammed, HastingsAnd the power companies.
Victoria Wild, HarrogatePlease, please make this happen.
Karen Blakeley, ManchesterLet’s bring back the golden days of British Rail.
Matthew Lee, LondonIt’s time to bring back the public service ethos in our railways.
