Raymond Batchelor, ShildonBring back BR and let’s get rid of these MPs that are ruining this country. Privatisation doesn’t work and never will.
Mark Cox, LondonI’m fed up of this untouchable extortion racket.
Paul Leyland, ShawPrivatisation has been an expensive shambles, only made banks money, and has backfired as a way of scrapping rail travel.
Ian Semple, PeterboroughWith privatisation the national interest takes second place to profits and strategic planning is ineffectual. Bring back BR.
Sue Catt, KetteringPrivatisation benefits no-one but shareholders and the fat cats.
David Buckle, Cornhill-on-TweedRe-nationalise the railways.
Amanda Pulsford, HastingsThese private companies care nothing for your pocket, and increasingly less for your safety.
Christine Gooddy, BoltonI’ve noticed changes already. Where was our referendum on this?
Emma Anderson, OtterburnI believe that the railways would serve the country better if publicly-owned.
Andrew Dean, LiverpoolNationalise all the transport and utilities in Britain.
Paul Hegarty, HuddersfieldRe-nationalise the railways, and cherish them the way other countries do.
Ewart Fitzgerald, SittingbourneReduce fares and stop taxpayers and passengers lining the pockets of the owners of train operating companies.
Dan Bain, PerranporthPointless instant gratification policy, shown to be a terrible decision.
Mia Brar, SloughFare prices are far too high (in contrast with Europe) and FGW services are either always delayed or cancelled. What happens with the public subsidy? We have had enough.
Michelle Doidge, WorcesterThey should never have been privatised in the first place as it has now become an inefficient way of running the railway.
Veronica Sims, BedfordIt seems to me vital that the government understands that the railways are not there for the profit of a few but to keep the UK moving.
Colin Noble, LeedsBring back BR, far better than the current inefficient, expensive, profit-focused private shambles.
Nicola Sellars, ElyStandardised, cheaper fares and consistent services.
Ric Hardacre, IpswichBy the people, for the people.
Caroline Aperguis, NottinghamWe want a joined-up service that is not about companies competing to make huge profits from the passengers who have no choice in how they travel.
Gary Gilmore, Glasgow25 years of disorder need to be addressed.
Danny Thomas, Milton KeynesBR was stolen from the British public. This wrong must be corrected.
Dee HurlockLeaves were never a problem for British Rail. It should never have been made a run-for-profit organisation.
Joyce Paterson, StamfordHow do the current owners expect the elderly without IT skills to book an economical journey, I wonder?
Ewan Blaikie, EdinburghBring British Rail back.
Stephen James Lemon, PortsmouthBritish Rail was far more profitable and efficient and affordable than the current system. Thus we need it back for the future.
Eddie Rocks, KirkcaldySuch an important part of a nation’s infrastructure should never be in private hands.
David Meagher, Bognor RegisFor a comprehensive rail system which is not for private profit.
Peter Flack, LeicesterThe railways are and always were a public service, not an opportunity for profiteering at the public’s expense.
Beth Granter, BrightonNationalisation is the only solution. Railways should be run for the public benefit and not for private profit.
