David Jones, Connah’s QuayI’ve just returned from Hamburg where I’ve been working for nine months. Trains, buses and ferry services are second to none, all on time and a fair pricing structure.
Andree Mehew, LondonBecause it’s the best.
Laurence Hunter, EdinburghI challenge a political party to make this happen. It would be hugely popular with the British people. So why won’t they take up the challenge ?
Alan Butcher, WashingtonBring back British Rail.
Julian Balmford, AylesburyMaybe if we achieve this then we can start with the Water Companies?
Geraldine Mitchell, ManchesterThe fact that the French and German nationalised train industries have shares in the most profitable lines in Britain should speak for itself.
Craig Meyers, WivenhoeA guard should be placed on every overcrowded train to monitor commuter conditions.
Ethan Storey, ChichesterDown with Southern.
Marilyn Smith, DunmowI was against the idea at the time and it brings me no pleasure to know I have been proved right. It’s broke – let’s fix it.
Ardal Hall, SunderlandLNER should stay public and no longer be franchised.
Edward Fisher, LetchworthLook at other countries in Europe. They don’t charge half as much as we do. Something is very wrong.
Declan Duggan, LutonPublic services should be in public hands.
William Shearer, LondonThe great experiment should now end. Privatisation has not worked. Talent has been lost as train operating companies now work in ‘silos’.
Julia Coryton, SouthwarkPrices of train fares are ridiculous. I hate the 4 hours of standing on an extremely overcrowded train to see my family so much so that I rarely see them anymore.
Stephen Butcher, BallymenaA fragmented rail network makes no sense.
Miriam Jones, LondonAll services used by the public should be publicly owned – People not profit.
Louis Loizou, BrightonCancel that ridiculous super-train project – wrong thinking.
John Mason, MansfieldNo natural monopolies should be in the hands of the private sector.
Peter Moss, BirminghamThe railway costs the public more than ever, for a bad service. Let the franchises run out, and revert to the state to build up a service for the public, not shareholders.
David White, NewarkEast Coast mainline is owned by the government and makes a profit. Bring back public ownership for all our railways.
Steve Goodman, WellingboroughRe-nationalise not just the railways, but the electricity, gas and water suppliers as well.
Ian Isherwood, MacclesfieldOnly by nationalisation can we have a fully integrated public transport system for the good of all citizens.
Marian Connolly, BristolTransport is too important to be left in the hands of those only interested in profits.
John Carlson, South ShieldsI’m sick of expensive fares and low service.
Andrew Derrett, IpswichI am a train driver of thirty years.
Paul Edwards, WolverhamptonBring back British Rail. Stop ripping off the British public.
Helen Kara, UttoxeterLet’s make British Rail the great asset it could be for our country, rather than the current hotchpotch of incompetence.
Bonnie Keegan, CoventryLet’s reclaim our railways.
Margaret Thomas, AshingtonCivilised society demands good public services and jobs with fair conditions of service.
Mick Dawber, NottinghamBring back the railways where they belong.
