The only part that has been privatised is the profit.

The price of train tickets these days is ridiculous. I am a very regular traveller and it costs me far more than I should have to pay for the distance I’m going. BBBR.

Bring back BR.

I’m sick and tired of the Great British Rail-fair robbery.

A disastrous policy implemented for reasons of dogma. Our country needs a proper transport system, not a way of enriching private investors at our expense.

Our railways have become inefficient and disgustingly expensive.

It makes sense, pays money back into the exchequer and costs less to rail users.

Just the ticket.

The rail system is fine if you’re just going from A to B. If you’re going to C and need to change at D, and the second leg is with a different company – good luck with that!

East Coast is publicly owned, well-run and makes money for us – the public. Let’s see the rest of the network follow suit.

It’s a no-brainer – as the Americans say. Why should companies who are subsidised by us make huge profits from us?

Privatisation benefits nobody except the fat cat bosses.

ALL public services should be in public hands.

East Coast is doing really well. Let’s keep it publicly run and integrate the whole network too.

Bring back British Rail.

They should never have been privatised in the first place.

I just hope that the politicians accept that the current system would improve if it was just one company with proper accountability. Gas, electricity and water are the same.

How much longer do we have to put up with paying disgusting fares for rubbish, sub-standard service?

Thanks for sending me stickers. Good luck.

Certain things in our society are done best where the ethos of ‘public service’ is paramount, not first making profit so we need to think back to the British Rail of late 80’s.

Bring back British Rail.

Bring the ownership of British Railways into the hands of the people.

I do not use railways any more. Why should single fares cost nearly as much as returns?

British Rail should be state-owned and not privately owned.

What has happened with the East Coast main line proves privatisation is not progress.

No to private ownership.

Bring BR back. It should be in the nation’s hands, not fat cats’.

Compared to other countries our current situation is ludicrous. The railway should be for the benefit of the people not for the benefit of the corporations.

The East Coast mainline in public hands has needed less subsidy, increased efficiency and returned money to the Treasury. Government response? Re-privatise. Madness.

It’s better not to use wording like “re-nationalise”. Include all utilities and bus companies. Make sure the latter run services co-ordinated with the rail system.
