Steve Emsley, HuddersfieldShocking company, greedy CEO.
Diane Cawood, ManchesterNationalised East coast line costs taxpayers less to run than the privatised lines. Stop companies lining their pockets with our money.
Ena Stansfield, NottinghamI wish a Government would nationalise the railways again. I remember before it was privatised. It wasn’t perfect but it was so much better than now.
Dylan Kilgour, MotherwellWhat’s the delay?
Tony Osborne, SloughTrains and buses – lots of companies fighting one another – confusing information – little or no co-ordination.
Nicki Saxton, LondonThere needs to be a stop to these high fares.
Alasdair Burman, SkiptonEast Coast livery dull. Bring back GNER livery.
Gala Middleton, NewarkEast Coast Trains proved that public ownership works. How ridiculous to then sell it.
Jon Carver, BedfordPrivate companies messed it up once. Nationalised it had its faults, but this re-privatisation is a disaster. The only investment in our railways is still public.
Nikki Doyle, NottinghamBR was better – not perfect, but better..
Bruce Asbestos, NottinghamFair railway ticket prices are the path to a zero carbon country!
Jason Leyton, LondonStop the fares rip-off.
Stephen Driver, IsleworthI want a nationalised railway that brings down rail fares. All private companies want to do is make money and line the shareholders’ pockets.
Christopher Old, Hemel HempsteadWe’re putting billions into the pockets of fat cat executives and foreign companies in exchange for the most expensive rail system in Europe. Things need to change.
Andrew Richmond, BoltonI work on the railways, just as I did under British Rail. It was a terrible day when Mr Major swung his privatisation axe and the scars are still there for all to see.
R B, HuddersfieldWhy are we playing subsidies to companies when we can run a train company at a profit for the country ourselves?
Stephen Calvert, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast mainline has shown the service that’s possible under government funding, but even that success has to be turned into another franchising disaster.
Frank Nicholas AdamBritish Rail ought to be brought back for passenger trains in England, Wales and Scotland.
Paul Duckett, WindermereIf all the money spent on this stupid privatisation had been invested in BR we would now have the best rail system in the world. Peter Parker rest in peace.
Simon Canfer, SwindonI want a rail service that I can afford to use please.
Vanessa Martin, BrightonBring back national railways to be proud of. Get us to work on time with a seat. And a clean safe journey for a reasonable price.
Jon WallerLet’s bring them all back . Why should people profit from others’ misery?
Lawrence Scott, CarlisleI have always been an advocate of bringing back the railways into the public sector putting profit into the government coffers instead of Branson etc.
Nigel Smith, YorkAll public utilities should be nationalised and most ordinary citizens would agree.
Matthew Markland, BirstallIt’s overdue but it’s time to re-nationalise the railway system. Bring back British Rail.
Pam Hearne, LancasterThe current system is a disaster.
Donald Chapman, GlasgowIt just makes sense.
Ron Bingham, LondonPrivatisation has failed for everyone apart from the executives and shareholders. How about giving the customers what they pay for?
Cynthia Taylor, ReadingThe British public deserve the right to safe and affordable travel within the country.
Jamie Bramwell, CheshireBring back not only British Rail, but all water, gas, electric and banks – all into public ownership and get this country back on track!
