About time.

BR worked and worked well. Stations would help each other rather than compete.

The UK’s rail network shouldn’t be subservient to shareholders’ interests and fares should be reasonable for all.

The system requires unification. Trains used to connect with one another but no longer do so. Ticket purchase was much simpler and the ticket was valid for all lines.

Bring back British Rail.

I’m very much in favour of the nationalisation of natural monopolies.

Stop the rip-off billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money drained off to private companies’ shareholders. Money should stay in railways to cut fares and keep stations open.

Re-nationalise not just the railways, but the electricity, gas and water suppliers as well.

Nationalisation to offer flexibility and protect rail travel at an affordable price for all.

At last, I have found a campaign group dedicated to re-nationalisation of the rail network. The current system in the hands of private ownership is totally dysfunctional.

The railway should be for people not for profit.

People Not Profits.

If the rail tickets were sensibly priced, car usage would be reduced.

We’ve been taken for a ride far too long.

I can’t wait, especially now the East Coast is privatised again.

This is unfortunately all I’ve known (as a 27 year old). I cannot fathom how it could be more difficult than it is in this situation if it was nationalised.

Get it done.

Privatisation has been a disaster for passengers and a bean feast for rail companies.

Vertical integration has to make sense. But please keep out the politicians and civil servants from meddling in the rail industry.

I’m totally disgusted that Virgin and Stagecoach will be taking over the running of East Coast Trains. It’s all downhill from now.

Granted I know Network Rail are trying to modernise the railway but they’re using taxpayers’ money anyway so it should be kept public.

Bring the railways back under state control and provide a better service to passengers.

If the railways are a loss-making industry, why are there big payouts to shareholders? Where does that money come from?

Imagine BR with the amount of funding all these companies get and the only compensation payments were to end users not the paper excuses we have now.

BR got a quarter of the subsidy of the private companies and did a better job.

Bring the British rail system under state ownership and democratic control.

Public services should be run and owned by the public, not private financial institutions who care only about profit and not service. It’s a no brainer.

Bring back British Rail and stop the rip-off of the extremely high fares we are forced to pay.

I hate the trains. We are the passengers. Make the railways a public service again.

As a First Capital Connect victim, I fully support your aims.
