Marina Matosic, BoltonMy commute from Bolton to Manchester is beyond belief. It is far worse than any journey on the London Underground.
Joan Foye, OssettPrivatisation has caused inferior service. The railways and the power companies should be re-nationalised.
Chris Kellett, SheffieldThe railways were built for the public to use. We should be the ones to make the decisions etc.
Johnr Foy, LiverpoolThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Brian Thomas, Pwllheli,They always did belong to the people and funded by the people. They should be set up along the same model as Waitrose – Quality and owned by the employees.
Graeme PineTransport should be owned by the state for the greater good not for profit.
Ray Riley, MansfieldInstead of standing on its own feet this has become dependent on taxpayers for survival.
Andrea Stanton, WalsallAnything to get rid of London Midland’s appalling service.
Dick Norton, CuparPublic service should not be in private hands.
Amanda Sym, LondonTickets are priced far too high and the service is atrocious. Bring back the service for the people.
Phill Lloyd, HailshamBring back British Rail. Privatisation of the U.K railway network is a proven failure; just ask the fare paying passengers!
Paul Howard, EastbourneI am advocating re-nationalisation of the railways as part of my General Election campaign as an Independent candidate.
Raymond Curtis, NottinghamRailways, Gas, Electricity, Water and Post Office should never have been privatised. They are too essential to be left to the vagaries of the market.
Jason Lodge, HoveBring back publicly-owned railway, to show these companies how to run it.
Mark Williams, PoolePlease re-nationalise the entire rail industry and bring it back to the people. Stop the profiteering.
Anne Johnson, SelbyMake sure it is run like East Coast is now.
Jack Mills, PlymouthI could get to London from Plymouth for £14 on an InterCity Saver back in the day. Now it’s about £180. Where did it all go wrong?
Sergio Seelochan, NottinghamStop bleeding money to overseas rail companies and use profits to make fares cheaper and the service better.
Dr Elizabeth Moberly, DurhamRail travel is currently far too expensive for many people. Best of luck with your campaign.
Derek Chandler, SouthamptonYet another example of welfare for the rich. Nationalise the railways, cut costs, salaries, bonuses, dividends, and give the profits back to the people.
Cecilia Marshall, SalisburyPrivatisation benefits no-one except the shareholders who probably always travel by chauffeured car.
Nick Fairhall, MaidstoneIt just makes sense.
Mark Nevitt, SandbachBring it back to the people. You know it makes sense.
L Speirs, GlasgowIt costs the taxpayer more now in subsidies to the big business train companies than it ever cost to run BR. Pure dogmatism, which must be ended.
Rosalind Readhead, LondonA transport system that works democratically for the whole of the UK should not be in the hands of profiteers.
Antonia Martinez, Stockton-on-TeesWith private rail companies one of the main considerations is profit and keeping shareholders happy. Bring back British Rail – a public service that serves the public.
Elizabeth Noble, ReadingI was opposed to the privatisation of the railways in the 90’s and still feel as strongly about it now. Profits should be ploughed back into the service for passengers.
Phil Vaughan, PlymouthPrivatisation has had its day. It’s time for it to be run for the public not for shareholders. The cost of tickets is ridiculous. and confusing.
Steve Smith, EastwoodBring back cheaper fares.
