Adrian Giles, SandersteadI believe that the infrastructure of the country should be in the hands of the people and any profit from the operation of those services should be ploughed back in.
Sergio Girardini, LondonPeople not profit.
Mick Piggott, Hebden BridgeThis, to me, is the crucial policy area, a lynch-pin. The only major party calling for re-nationalisation is the Greens. I will vote for them in the next election.
Nicola James, LondonThe prices are unaffordable and it is now cheaper to fly from London to the North of England
John Wilson, SheffieldThe railways could be run more cheaply and more efficiently if they were returned to public ownership.
Mary Keenan, ParboldThe left and right hands need to be unified. At the moment neither knows how many fingers are on the other hand, or even on their own.
Jack Sayers Shaw, BournemouthThe railway is a public method of transport, fascination and convenience. I believe private companies should have no say in how our railways are run.
Alan Whittaker, Llanelli, CarmarthenshirePrivatisation doesn’t work. The time to re-nationalise is now. Our railways are nearly all state-owned, but the problem is, that they are foreign states that own them.
Nicholas Allen, YorkThe railways should be owned by the British Government, not the French and German Governments, nor the private sector, for the benefit of shareholders, not passengers.
Yvonne Sanders, MaidenheadIt is a public service and needs to be in public control with no purpose for profit.
Hannah Harrison, ManchesterWhy are British train companies so bad?
Paul Doherty, LeedsPrivate companies have had long enough to get things right. They receive subsidies for below-par service and vast profits. They should put money back into the rail industry.
Susan Murphy, NewarkNo more unfulfilled promises of improvements. Nationalise now. People before profits for a change.
Ana Jolly, NottinghamPlease stop this profiteering racket.
Jeff Lewis, EastbourneTake it from the greedy shareholders who are pushing prices through the roof.
Jill Hancock, DurhamEast Coast is in public hands and doing well. It should stay public. Profits are returned to taxpayers.
A J Allan, East LothianThis debacle has been going on for too long, let’s make a change.
Sheena Best, Co. KerryIt should never have been privatised! This campaign has come not a moment too soon – all the best with it!
Sue Fairweather, DanburyTake a leaf out of the East Coast mainline’s book, taken back into public hands successfully.
Denzil Moran, NottinghamPrivatisation of a national service has been a disaster, particularly in health and safety terms. People died at Hatfield because of privatisation.
Dennis Warwick, Burley-in-WharfedaleI am a former porter on BR in 1949-50. I would like the railways back in public ownership.
Richard Palmer, LondonBring back BR for public accountability to passengers who are also taxpayers, instead of having to satisfy the pockets of shareholders and speculators.
Leigh Pankhurst, NorwichPrivatising the rail network was the most stupid idea ever. It is now taught on the continent in economic degrees as an example of gross mismanagement.
Philip Cumberland, WhittleseyPrivatising the railways was a victory of political dogma over common sense. It’s about time we had common sense back on the agenda so it’s time to re-nationalise.
Brian RacherWhat we need now is a return of British Rail, in whatever form it may take, to get everything back under one roof.
Alexis Mr, AmesburyNationalising rail would reduce pollution and reduce traffic through reasonable pricing. Many birds one stone
Jon Matthews, SwanleyVote Green to bring back British Rail.
Karen Donnelly, BradfordThey should never have been privatised. It’s been a disaster from the first. It’s about time service, maintenance and customers were put first.
Cameron Telfer, Newcastle-upon-TyneI think bringing back British Rail is a good idea as the prices of tickets can be equalised and made fair for all rail users. Cheers.
Phil Walters, HuddersfieldLet’s start the war on profit.
