Robert Sunners, CockermouthBasic transport should be a right in this country. Stop the fat cats profiting and support the public.
Ann Knowles, AberystwythBritish Rail just before privatisation was one of the most efficient railway operators in Europe.
Debbie Richens, LondonI’m fed up with profits going before passenger service and think the railways should be renationalised.
Robin Evans, PooleIt cannot happen too soon to simplify travelling in this country.
Barry Davies, StaffordBritish Rail should never have been privatised and Virgin can cover the East Coast line costs from its West Coast profits.
Joyce Murray, BlythTo have a division between different train operating companies and the running of the track seems ridiculous.
Ted Goodhew, MaidenheadThe so-called profit motive has been discredited by the sharks who run these companies.
Charlie Matthews, SwanleyI’m fed up with the service we get for the price we pay.
Jade Montserrat, ScarboroughEllie Harrison’s staggering talk at Artquest conference this year has made me a passionate supporter of this great undertaking. Thank you.
Richard Chappell, WalsallThe days of the Big Four are gone. We need a well run and managed national transport system as seen in other European countries.
Stephen White, ShepshedA rail service has to be fully integrated, and it can’t be while there’s competition. Re-nationalise.
Kevan Potter, NuneatonRun the railways for the people.
Anthony French, DoncasterExpensive, cumbersome, inadequate and a national disgrace – Britain’s privatised rail network. Follow the European model and bring back BR.
Paul Greening, DorchesterRe-nationalise the railways. They are a public service and can be run more efficiently in the public interest than for private profit.
Vaughan Gallavan, ExeterI would like to see the re-nationalisation of telecoms and utilities too.
Patricia Gurney, NewarkWe are the people of Britain and we want our railways back.
Louis Graves, StockportStupid and unfair prices. Bring Back British Rail.
Greg Doull, CwmbranPrivatisation in all services has been a disaster. We’re paying lots more for very much less.
Albert Welch, Houghton-le-SpringJust one of the many privatisations of public services undertaken during the Thatcher regime, all of which have been a total disaster for working families and communities.
Peter Denny, LowestoftAll rail transport needs to be owned by the public and the power companies as well.
Jean Edwards, Stoke-on-TrentBring the railways back to where they rightfully belong – to the people who owned it before the Thatcherite years.
Warren Knight, St AlbansSee our web site lawfulrebellionstalbans.blogspot.co.uk.
Frances McGinlay, LargsJust bring it back.
Gwennan Thomas, LondonWe need a fairly priced, efficient public transport system that’s run for people and not for profit.
John Walker, BristolThe last two decades have been a very expensive farce. It’s been tried, it’s failed. I’m tired of subsidising the private shareholders with my taxes.
Guy Harris, SaltashRailways and utilities for people.
Susan Cole, North ShieldsIt should never have been sold off and has never been successful. Bring back to public ownership and start the freight and post going by rail again.
Stephen Newberry, HoveI think that a country’s public transport is a reflection of what the powers that be think of their citizenry.
Mike Beaumont, BrixhamJust bring our railways back to where they were before privatisation and upgrade the rolling stock to meet demands for the ever growing population.
Paul Weekes, Gillingham, KentWe need to manufacture our own rolling stock as well and bring some design and engineering back, and not support foreign train builders.
