Norman Fellows, ConfolensThe railways should be run as a public service, not for private profit.
Nicholas Darsley, LondonThe rail system should be for the benefit of travellers, not for private profit.
Davie Root, CambridgeI fully support your cause. There are too many money grabbing folk in jobs they know nothing about.
Chris Holmes, Colchesterex-Tinsley Diesel Maintenance Depot.
Abigail Buchanan, NorthamptonI used to work for British Rail, Euston HQ. It was a wonderful family with our extended family being all the workers of every train & station beyond. Repair the family!
Vanessa Bowen, HarrogateI believe that railways should be run for the people and not for private profit. This is such an important service and decisions should be made in the interests of the public.
Mark Matthews, NorthamptonThe railway needs to operates as a unified mass transit system with adequate trains, staff and reasonable fares. I’m fed up with being ripped off by fat cats.
Leslie Dalton, Weston-super-MareTrains for transport not profit.
Brian Hanchett, NorwichAt 70years old I have lived through both and it was better with no shareholders’ profits to worry about with all profits going to the Treasury to make our lives better.
Adam Collier, LeicestershireOur trains are just the worst in Europe and something needs to be done. Fast.
Karol Olszewski, LewishamThis privatisation deal doesn’t work.
Tony Laidler, RytonMake it happen now.
Mary Pearson, BirminghamI’m president of Birmingham Trades Union Council. All public transport should be in public hands. People before profit.
James Pauley, BoltonThe current situation is a fiasco and getting worse. Privatisation has only benefited the owners, not the customers.
Derek Pearson, Southend-on-SeaSimply take contracts back in-house as they expire. It is so simple.
Marilyn Tsiorvas, SheffieldThe current situation of private companies is chaotic and inefficient for customers and increasingly impoverishing for us and enriching for the shareholders.
Oisin Macfadden, BristolTrain fares are absolutely excessive, and an order of magnitude higher than in other European countries.
Dominic Hinkins, BostonBring back nationalised railways.
Denise Morell, Newbiggin-by-the-SeaPassengers before profits please.
Joseph Burnham, SheringhamFor-profit ownership of the rail service simply doesn’t work. In most rural areas there is zero competition, so zero incentive for improvements or price reductions.
Carole Hope, BromleyTh current situation is a mess. Something which should be as straightforward as planning journeys and buying tickets can be a nightmare.
Kwasi Agyemang-Prempeh, LondonPeople should be placed before profit. For that reason the railway industry is to be taken back to public ownership.
Judith Willis, NewarkThe present system has got to be rescued.
Christopher O’Maley, South NorwoodBritish Rail needs fixing as a nationalised venture, not drained for profit and shareholders.
Paula Du Luc, RedhillThe Conservatives ran down BR to make it look bad, so that Beeching could close it down. Bring back public ownership.
Ray Laidlaw, North ShieldsEconomic and reliable rail travel is not a luxury but a requirement for a modern, successful economy. Get rid of the franchises and nationalise the railways.
James CoxIt just makes sense. We must retain ownership of such a vital and important piece of infrastructure.
Paul BrightWe must rebuild our country’s economy and to do this we need a fully integrated and affordable public transport system centred on the British railways.
Corrie Hogenboom, GroningenAs it was always meant to be.
Steve Baxter, NewarkBring back our British Rail.
