Eithne Bennett, YorkPeople before profit means Bring back British Rail.
Campbell Sangster, LondonLudicrous that train fares are so high it stops people travelling freely and spontaneously. It’s bad for tourism.
Paul Burgess, TorquayWords escape me.
Gary Haley, PontefractPeople not profits.
Wilson Smeaton, WoolerRailways in countries many times the size of Britain, considered to be ‘developing’, are unified and run primarily to serve the public, People before profit, please.
Neil Sanderson, OswestryPeople not profit.
Anna Scheer, Melbourne, AustraliaBritish Rail was a functioning service. The new system is hopeless and unreliable.
Louise Ffoulkes, LondonLet the railways be run for the passengers and not for the shareholders.
Alex Ogden, BuryThere are institutions that, even in a free market economy, function far more effectively when run nationally. Transport, along with health care and others, is one of them.
Isaac Price-Sosner, ExeterA national railcard please. Why should only the South East get the Network Rail card. And please can we have the algorithm used to calculate fares made public for all?
Claire Wilkinson, BedaleThe current rail service is not good for taxpayers or consumers and was a poor decision made by government.
Amanda Barr, MalpasI wholeheartedly believe this is one of the best things to do for this country, removing barriers to travel, increase ability to earn and pay more taxes.
Ken Turner, NewportPrivatisation wrecked our railways.
Jim Aird, EdinburghBR should not have been privatised in the first place.
Ray Hand, AbingdonThe rail system should be a service, not a money-making opportunity for investors.
Barry Hearn, WatfordWe all know that privatisation doesn’t work, time and time again.
David Finch, LutonIt cannot be right when trains are more expensive that using a car. Train travel should benefit all the people, not just to make profits for the few.
Marion Matthewman, Berwick-upon-TweedAnything to improve things.
Jade Turner, DerbyshireI think that British rail should be brought back as it was very important to my grandfather’s trade.
Helen Edwards, StaffordBring back one system.
John Bramhall, NewburyThe current situation is ridiculous. Prices go up and the service doesn’t improve.
Barbara Kennard, RytonWe need railways that can be a source of national pride. This cannot be realistically achieved through profit-focused privatisation.
Sebastian Hart, IpswichI’m a student and it’s so expensive to get home to see my family.
William Clark, BrandonBring it back.
David Weston, BodminPlease let it happen soon and for all those poor people to get a seat.
Joan Darling, Newcastle-upon-TyneProfits should go to improvements not to shareholders.
James Ross, AddinghamGet the rail network back on track.
Marcus Burton ShawBritish Rail was a pro outfit compared to the current shambles.
Jenny Merriman, Melton MowbrayThe Fat Cats have gorged and satiated themselves out of the pockets of hard working people for long enough.
Gareth Bridges, SwindonBring back British Rail.
