Please bring back British Rail.

Give us a rail system we can afford to use, and one which runs on time.

This alleged privatisation has been costing British tax-payers far too much and provided nothing for us. Seize the so-called rail companies’ assets and re-nationalise.

Hands off our railway. It is making a good profit. Stop selling off the crown jewels.

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

Passengers and the Great British tax-paying public deserve better. Bring back British Rail.

The privatisation of British Rail was supposed to benefit the customer. What a laugh. In fact, the new owners are laughing all their way to the bank. Re-nationalise.

I’ve had a lot of my family all worked or work for the railway. Unfortunately my father and uncle were made redundant under the Thatcher years.

It’s easy to do by letting current franchises run out and not renewing them.

British Rail will see a return to regular, affordable, unified travel for all. It needs to be reformed. Privatisation allows companies to exploit passengers.

I can’t even afford to visit my friends in Woking, even though it’s such a short journey. These prices are obscene.

We need our British rail – for all the people.

Privatisation only works for shareholders, not passengers. Bring back BR.

Aspiration for passengers has deteriorated through privatisation and costs have risen. It’s a failure.

Breaking up railways breaks up communications, so we’re isolated in the north. HS2 won’t make things any better for Barnsley either.

In my trainspotting days it was British Railways. Why stop at Rail?

Public transport, not private profit.

The money earned from an integrated system should be used to invest in government and the railways themselves instead of lining the pockets of shareholders.

Our train network in England is a joke and needs reform.

It ain’t working so let’s fix it.

They should never have been privatised in the first place.

If all else, I miss the lovely design.

We need to bring the railway back to the people who can make the track for the next generation… Bring back British Rail.

I always thought privatisation was stupid. Time has confirmed that viewpoint.

All sold-off businesses should be re-nationalised.

Public transport in public hands.

Keep up the good work.

Lying thieves at the train operating companies, extorting enormous profits from taxpayers whilst running third world services. It is a scandal.

Stop subsidising train operating companies and invest in an integrated rail system, not this disjointed farce.

Why break something that was working so well?
