John Morris, ChathamThe return of British Rail will see profits repaid to the Chancellor, not to private shareholders.
Mora Rolley, AlnwickStart by not selling off the East Coast Line.
Michael Hurst, ManchesterIt cost taxpayers more while private companies maintain a good profit. Put all revenue back into the rail network, with the same systems of oversight.
Jane Hitchin, West KirbyPrivatisation hasn’t worked. Nationalise now.
Thomas McAnea, LondonLying thieves at the train operating companies, extorting enormous profits from taxpayers whilst running third world services. It is a scandal.
Nik Walker, PrestonThe railways should never ever have been privatised in the first place. Such a costly, arrogant political gesture has no place in a modern society.
Chris OwenI entirely support your aims and now understand why you reversed the logo!
Aaron Parr, AshfordBecause there is enough profiteering going on in the world without having to exploit a rail network.
Alison Affleck, StroudThe current service is impossible for elderly or disabled. And for fully able bodied and mind. All British Rail ever did wrong was limp lettuce in the sandwiches.
Mair Jones, DenbighExcellent campaign.
J T, HoveIf any of the main parties had the balls to sow up re-election this is all they’d have to do.
Callum Brady, EssexNeed to stop the thieving foreign owned train companies holding commuters to ransom with overpriced fares and a dismal service.
Paul White, HuddersfieldEast Coast Line is the model railway outfit for all UK rail.
Sue Flint, BristolHigh time, too.
William Holyday, LondonI hate the privatisation of public services.
Carol Jardine, EdinburghTravel by rail has now become too expensive for many people on lower incomes. We now look enviously at other countries’ rail systems that appear to serve the people.
Les HowarthBritish Rail had its problems but it was a joined-up network. Since privatisation things are probably better if you want to go A to B but not A to B to C.
Alison Winstone, LeicesterNot only nationalise rail, but add water, gas, electricity and telephones. Tax-payers set these up and should hold on to profits and invest in renewables..
Aaran McCarthy, WarringtonBring it back.
Athel Dunning, LondonOnly an idiot could think that giving a national network to the private sector could possibly save money for the people who use it.
Lloyd Soldatt, GreenhithePlease Bring Back British Rail. Thank you.
Loraine Brown, GlasgowLet’s pay for a good service, not to line a private company’s coffers.
Christine Oakhill, St AlbansEnd the farce and bring back common sense with a system that works for its customers.
Steve Huckle, SouthwickCertain things should be for the public good, not just private profit. The clue with this one is in the name – public transport. Energy is another one. Water too.
Michael Poole, GreenfordWe need a properly-run and cost-effective railway system and stop putting millions into corporate pockets.
Dale Barnard, GlasgowWhy on earth did we ever privatise the rail network? We have the only private network in Europe and it’s the worst run. Stop emulating America. BBBR!
Samuel Moini, Milton KeynesBring the ownership of British Railways into the hands of the people.
Richard Hammond, WakefieldI just tried buying a first class ticket (Wakefield-Folkestone) £452 return. All it’s doing is forcing cars onto the road. It’s a disgrace.
William Dudley, StevenageI am a retired employee of WAGN (12 years) and have seen a lot of change, most by foreign rail companies. In my view the rail system belongs to the public.
Dimitri Stama, LondonCrippling our economy with poor and over-priced transport systems is not how the UK should be treated. My wife has to pay over 10% of her salary for her train ticket.
