Kevin White, HaverfordwestBring back British Rail, a transport system for the people not the rich.
Christopher Payne, BromboroughI’m a daily commuter suffering daily hell.
Tom Mileham, LostwithielI’m sick to death with constantly rising fares, petty fines, cancellations, delays, overcrowded trains, an ever diminishing service from my town and the incompetent FGW staff.
John Dadacz, Sutton-in-AshfieldYes unify the rail services; you know it makes sense.
Paul R, HorshamThe fragmentation of Britain’s railways has its roots in EU directive 91/440/EU used as a blueprint for the Major Government’s privatisation of Britain’s railways in 1994.
Dominic Hinkins, BostonBring back nationalised railways.
Alistair Salmon, MedwayBritish Railways was run more effectively than today’s Train Operating Companies.
Simon Thompson, KendalBring back British Rail – I’ll even have the sandwich!
Helen Main, EdinburghI have been using the East Coast railway for 30 years. It has worked so efficiently in the last 5 years that I would hate it to be re-privatised.
Yan Yates, MiddlesbroughIt’s been over-priced for far too long. People should not be financially punished for not booking early.
Imrul Hossain, WatfordWe should never have sold our public transport to the private sector. It was the worst idea by any government. Be smart and bring it back.
Tony Fielding-Raby, LincolnBritish Rail was cheaper and more efficient.
Chris Gilchrist, BristolEnd the charade of buck-passing and excessive fares.
Ken Langley, Sliema, MaltaI joined British Rail as a Clerk in 1983, and was subsequently, as a Manager, put on the scrap heap in 2013, after 30 loyal years’ service. We need a unified public service.
Alessandro Marini, GlasgowThis is extremely important, not only for our economy, but for the people who live in this country. People are unable to see each other due to high travel fares.
Terry Young, New MaldenRe-nationalise everything – gas, water electricity – all the things a country needs to flourish.
Peter Thompson, BristolPrivatisation was an absurd reversion to the 19th Century. Let’s get back to the 21st.
Kwasi Agyemang-Prempeh, LondonPeople should be placed before profit. For that reason the railway industry is to be taken back to public ownership.
Daniel Scroggs, BristolI demand a re-unified national rail network. Capitalist gain is the operational cause of all failure on this planet. Provide for the people, not for their profit.
Tristan Lewis, BarryI’m fed up with overpriced train tickets. I’m getting charged stupid amounts to get to work and it’s costing me a small fortune.
John Greig, EdinburghNationalise the rail network.
John Armstrong, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe railways should never have been privatised. It’s a mess.
Johnr Foy, LiverpoolThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Janet Wright, CambridgePrivatisation has created incentives for companies to do each other down, or grab extra profits, by practices that make journeys worse for passengers.
Kevin Farrer, EdinburghRe-nationalise rail travel now and end the gravy train for the fat cats. Public transport for the public good.
Mathew Smith, KidderminsterBring back British Railways. Everyone is being ripped off over rail fares today.
David Gillman, HarlowRail fares are too high. A unified system would be much more cost effective.
Matthew Edmondson, ManchesterRailways should serve the interests of passengers not private companies.
Patrick Newman, StevenagePublic service rail works – that is why they are trying to privatise East Coast for a third time.
Ron Glatter, Hemel HempsteadI’m with you all the way.
