Naomi Siderfin, LondonBring back British Rail, to ease the pain of buying a rail ticket online from faceless, obscure and non-accountable vendors. Railways for people.
Jack Free, EppingI agree with this campaign.
Lawrence Wright, LondonBritish Rail was privatised when it was making a profit.
Paul Tiebout, LondonBring it back. Things are a joke with these companies.
Nicola Laing, Haywards HeathSack Southern and Claire Perry.
Jesamine Bartlett, Market DraytonAfter spending time living in Norway where the state owns the rail system and you can travel cheaply, I am even more furious at the cost of travel in the UK on rail.
Ed Mander, BridgwaterBring back British Rail.
Sara Dona, LeedsI did work experience for the HSE and was shocked to find that the Potters Bar crash happened because of poor maintenance, subcontracted to unqualified people.
David Partner, FromeTrain services are less reliable and more expensive than 100 years ago. How can the madness of HS2/3 be considered before a proper joined-up rail service for all?
Susannah WoodgateThe best world railways are state-owned and managed. Railways are to serve people not shareholders.
Paul Reddy, WirralRe-nationalisation of railways is easier than other privatised industries because at expiration existing franchises can be transferred to Directly Operated Railways.
Moira Gommon, BirkenheadBring back British Rail!
Nick West, LondonIt makes total sense.
Andrew Clubb, AberdeenDoes this Government sell off their own family silver or just the country’s. They are catching up with Gordon Brown.
Steven Gregory, SheffieldAll public transport should be publicly owned.
Peter Critchley, St HelensThe railways are a public good and should be run as such.
Gwylon Phillips, AberteifiOpen the line to Aberystwyth from Carmarthen.
Luca Jeffery, RotherhamI’d love to see the old 91s and also the old locos back and also nice to see some new BR AC/DC locos.
Benjamin Parmentier, LondonNo need to comment – the past 5 years speak for themselves.
Pete Williams, SouthamptonI’d rather go by train than drive, but the sad fact is the car is far cheaper, even when proportionally factoring in initial price, tax, insurance, fuel and depreciation.
Trevor Castle, StevenageExtortion all for profits and no consideration for the customer.
Allan Savage, CramlingtonBritish Rail should never have been privatised for it belongs to the people.
John Shuker, CarlisleThe railways are a vital public service that should be owned by the people and be run for the people.
Edward Childs, RadlettI would like the government to justify its claim that our privatised railways are both more efficient and more cost-effective.
Bernie Ward, TorquayIf the railways are publicly owned there is always someone to actually take responsibility, otherwise each privately owned section passes the buck.
Rikki Ferguson, LondonNaked profiteering for private owners at the expense of rail travellers is wrong.
Lily Bea Mather-Dearden, WellingboroughIf the government cared about what the British public wanted, then the railways would be nationalised.
Andrew Smith, BorehamwoodPrivatisation is not working for passengers. I believe that nationalisation would put good service as the number one priority rather than making a profit.
Alison Clark, High WycombeCompared to other rail networks and general transport services abroad, the UK costs are sky high. We want better than this.
Miriam Henry, BristolFirst Buses need to be brought back too. It’s a poor service, serving shareholders’ interests first.
