John Cooper, SheffieldYes, re-nationalise the railways.
Kelly Moran, LondonThe network should serve the public.
Tom Wakeford, PeterboroughStrategic resources should be under state control and ownership. The current chaos needs bringing to an end.
Graham Elder, GillinghamLet’s put an end to fat profits for Southeastern Trains and a thin service for passengers.
John Ball, SheffieldThe railway companies are only interested in profiteering with over-inflated prices and no customer care.
Andrew Thomas, AlfretonBritish Rail was never the best railway system in the world but it was a whole world better than the profit scamming bastards who run our regional railways now.
George Gilroy, King’s LynnPrivate profits have just left us with some of the worst infrastructure in Europe. It’s time they finished.
Karen Scrimshaw, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe process of purchasing train tickets and trying to find the best price is an absolute nightmare, especially if a journey involves two different networks.
Richard Merriman, Melton MowbrayTurn the tide of ‘rip-off Britain. Also re-nationalise the energy companies.
Joseph Redfern, CardiffCritical Infrastructure should be nationalised. Privatisation of rail has failed. Operators do not have the interests of the public at heart.
Allan J Douglas, ForfarPeople before profits and release the congestion on Britain’s roads.
Ken Turner, NewportPrivatisation wrecked our railways.
Joan StewartPrivatisation does not serve citizens or passengers. The East Coast service is making a profit, which goes into public coffers.
John Robinshaw, LittleboroughGood luck.
William Watts, ReadingThe name says it all.
Colin O’Connor, MaidstonePrivatisation has failed. It was always going to fail. Its time to finish this foolish experiment and return the railways to the people.
Kaan Sahin, WiganBBBR.
Chris Marsh, RustingtonI’m fed up with high prices and competing networks.
Patrick Hulme, AvonI am of the generation that remembers British Rail. It was not perfect, but during the Conservative years it was led by politicians who severely starved it of investment.
Michael O’Brien, ManchesterIt’s funny we subsidise European rail through the foreign companies running our railway system. We also give them tax payers’ money.
Michael Scott, YorkDaughter currently on train from York to King’s Cross taking 3 hrs plus due to works. £128 and just told that she may be charged more to stand in first class vestibule.
Beverley McKenzie, LincolnPlease Bring back British Rail, but use lessons learned to make it work.
Clive Pinnock, MaryportBring back British Rail.
Brett Crane, ExeterServices as important as a National Rail network should be run by the public sector for the public and never for private profit for the 1%.
John Picken, LondonIt should never have been privatised. It’s another failed experiment in Tory ideology which has just ripped off UK citizens and further rewarded the already much too rich.
Richard Glazzard, Tunbridge WellsI am rarely on a train these days that is (a) on time, (b) not broken (c) has a driver or (d) completes its whole journey without being discontinued early.
Jeff Fox, HuddersfieldPrivatisation was never the right idea.
John Holwell, WorksopPrivatisation filling the pockets of the few at the expense of the many.
Heather White, SouthportMake train travel easy and cheap again.
Colin Bromley, NorthamptonPublic transport has to be affordable by the public. It therefore has to be run by the public.
