Bring back the people’s railway.

Michael Colley, Doncaster

I would like to support the cause to bring back British Rail and re-nationalise the UK rail system.

Jason Pak, London

I’m sick of expensive fares and low service.

John Carlson, South Shields

We was robbed!

Hugh Stoddart, London

Privatisation has allowed behemoths of companies to immorally inflate rail prices and has left us with no alternative but to empty our wallets in order to travel.

Georgios Siminas, Manchester

To replace highly trained guards with glorified customer service operatives is ridiculous and an insult to rail users.

Mary Price, Worthing

I fully support your cause. There are too many money grabbing folk in jobs they know nothing about.

Davie Root, Cambridge

Bring British Rail back. Fares where cheap.

Stephen Sinclair, Chester

Bring back our railways.

John Webber, Ware

I totally agree with the idea of bringing back British Rail. Good luck in your campaign!

Danny Leigh

It goes from bad to worse. God help those that have to travel to work every day. It’s expensive and useless.

Patricia Notcutt, London

Bringing back British Rail is the best idea in many a year!

Bob Rosenthal, Blandford

These prices are too expensive. We are being made fools of by the rail companies and the government that allows them to continue. It’s pricing people out of London.

Anthony Kahwati, Bearsted

We need fairer fares and more job security for rail workers.

Gurmeet Singh, Leeds

The abolition of common sense is their (ATOC’s) worst crime. Bring back British Rail now.

David Jones, Bristol

All our services should be re-nationalised, for the people not private profit.

Diana Donoghue, Eastbourne

It’s a no-brainer.

Pauline Vernon, Weston-super-Mare

Interesting that the route taken back by the state is the profitable one now.

James Nicolson, London

As soon as possible please.

Yvonne Parks, Bristol

Although I have never seen BR in operation, my granddad worked for them and I know for a fact that BR was the pride of Britain at one point.

Daniel Laraman, Whitstable

Too expensive for such an unreliable service. The new increase is an absolute joke from out-of-touch people with no experience of the service.

Hannah Holroyd, Colchester

Service before profit, not vice versa.

Kevin Mallam, Middlesbrough

There was much that wasn’t great about BR when it was nationalised, but the current farrago is unliveable with. Phased re-nationalisation is the only practical option. Carpe.

John Gessler, Barnsley

It’s just common sense to have a subsidised rail service. Travelling to work and seeing friends should not have to make a profit for shareholders.

Rosemary Catling, Cambridge

Nationalise the railways. It’s the only way forward.

Margaret Pedley, Huddersfield

I am a regular rail user. East Coast line works, returning money to the exchequer not shareholders.

Sue Winterburn, York

It makes ecological sense to encourage people back onto public transport by simplifying and subsidising the rail system, as in many other countries.

Laura Hickin, Alford

I left BR in 1993 after 16 years because of privatisation. I’ve watched (from a safe distance) Britain’s railways going downhill ever since.

Andy Shaw, Weymouth

Take back our railways from fat cats profiteering.

Darren Bilbie, Belper

Public transport. The clue is in the title.

Mark Read, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
