Rik Manning, StroudA railway network based on service not profit. I want a truly inclusive rail service so the average citizen can travel at a reasonable price.
Neil Cameron-Rollo, ClareThe current set-up is a farce, over-priced, difficult to use and set up only for the benefit of the shareholders.
Clive Gehle, LondonAs commuters we get no advantages from private companies running trains (badly). Labour should commit to the re-nationalisation of the railways as they had the vision in 1948.
Vince Allen, GatesheadThe division of the railways was real butchery. If in times of crisis such as WW1 or WW2 it was best for the country to have one united railway, then it’s still so right now.
Susie Riggott, SouthamptonThe Labour Party’s weak response to this magnificent campaign is not nearly enough. Nothing less than full re-nationalisation of our railway system will do. Fat cats out.
Samuel Moini, Milton KeynesBring the ownership of British Railways into the hands of the people.
Helen Morton, LondonRe-nationalising the railways is the only way to make it for the people not just for private profit.
Matt Dunn, MontgomeryPrivatisation failed miserably. British Rail for British people, not cash-hungry directors of private companies.
Colin Flowerday, HoltThe Tories run the East coast main line as LNER. Bring back BRITISH RAIL.
Duncan Sillars, DundeeThe UK rail system is too small to benefit from the pressures of a free market.
Ian Halstead, HullPoking our digits into the tyranny of spreadsheets.
Stephen Williams, Ashford, KentI wholeheartedly agree with your aims. Ex-British Rail employee, took voluntary redundancy in disgust after privatisation. RIP Bob Crow and John Green.
Adam Halls, BathBritish Rail should come back and run our railways.
Bob Blackbourn, MalvernWhile we are at it let’s restore as many of the Beeching cuts as possible.
Marc Woolward, BudePublic service, not profit.
Alex Southern, NottinghamTrains are a public transport not a private one.
Stevan Hezseltine, Carshalton BeechesStop putting money into the pockets of the greedy privatised railway owners.
Romila Sanassy, PurleySouthern Trains service is unacceptable. I’m currently sitting on a static delayed train outside Purley. We haven’t moved for 20 minutes and no explanation.
Stephen Carpenter, LondonI’m sick and tired of having our state infrastructure (that belongs to all) sold off to the few. We need service not profit and greed.
Lynn Lansbury, SandownWin votes by doing something for the people.
Nicholas Bradley, ExeterStop the rip-off prices. It’s the most expensive public transport in the EU.
Mark Lee, HarlowI think it should all go back to how it was. The trains ran better back then, not like now, and the tickets were cheaper.
Christine Laugesen, LeylandI remember British Rail before it was all sold off. It worked well. Since privatisation we’ve returned to the Victorian era. Re-nationalise, now.
Joe Boswell, FremantleRail is a natural monopoly. The current chaos costs a fortune which all goes to consultants and parasites. If BR had that money our rail service would be brilliant.
Michael Friend, DartmouthRailways should be run as an affordable service for all people, not just for shareholders and to provide luxury for expense account holders.
Steve Linter, CanterburyWe may have newer trains with WiFi, aircon etc., but overall we pay dearly for a worse service. Nearly £70 for a peak day Travelcard from Canterbury to London!
Simon Fisher, WakefieldPublic transport should be for the benefit of the public, affordable, clean, punctual and not used for private profit.
Miranda Phillips, St AlbansOver-priced and complicated system of railways. We need a system which is about travelling and not all about how many pieces a system can be broken into as investments.
Rob Hutton, LutonIt can’t be any worse than the mess we have now.
Christian Cox, ChichesterThe people who control such integral infrastructure in the country must answer directly to the people.
