Richard Jones, LondonStop subsidising private companies.
Nick Monaghan, CastlefordIt’s really important that we get a rail service run for people and not for private profit, clean, efficient and affordable.
Sue Richmond, SheffieldI just love our trains, so save them.
Victoria Jaquiss, LeedsPublic services should be publicly run.
Martyn Williams, NantwichLet’s get people back on trains.
David Challis, MacclesfieldTravelling on railways in Europe shows us up. Elsewhere, better and cheaper. Privatisation has been a massive fraud against the public
Kenny Leonard, HockleyBring back a service that puts passengers before profits. Let’s build a British Rail to be proud of.
L CJ, PenzanceAs a teen addict living in Penzance, I am unable to afford the train to attend a youth narcotics anonymous meeting that I would particularly benefit from.
Nathan Lawrence, RedhillThis country can no longer afford a privatised rail service.
Stephen Pacey, WorksopI’m old enough to remember BR, ergo I’m old enough to remember plenty of carriages and plenty of seats – and at a reasonable price.
Mark Bailey, SheffieldI couldn’t agree more. Re-nationalise the railways now.
Maureen Roe, DerbyIt’s ridiculous to have a situation where, in such a small country, people can’t afford to travel by train and have to travel on congested roads.
Sue Brown, Bishops StortfordWe should re-nationalise not only British Rail but the Post Office, the Electricity and Gas companies and London Transport etc.
Christine Deas, RetfordNone of the public owned companies, such as the railways, coal, energy, water, should have been privatised. It was a short-sighted policy designed to make a quick profit.
Andy Thomas-Emans, FolkestoneFor all its faults, the old BR was a unified system, with unified investment, timetables and fare schemes. It was far superior to and cheaper than the mess we have now.
Chris Youhill, LeedsI am totally dissatisfied by the way that Northern Rail is run. “Couldn’t care less” seems to be their almost universal attitude at all levels.
Stephen Dixon, HebburnA key strategic resource that needs government ownership and control with a not-for-profit ethos.
Edward Jeavons, CardiffThe ridiculous cost of rail travel is now pricing ordinary people out of this form of transport, causing traffic chaos and more damage to the environment.
Denise Murphy, St AlbansSt Albans passengers never get a morning seat to London.
Rob Hammond, BrightonPrivatisation and franchising has cost the taxpayer more than a publicly run service would, with no improvement in services.
Estelle Mageean, BarnsleyI demand we have our railways back.
Reuben Whatton, LeedsPrivate interests ? social efficiency.
David Long, LichfieldA very just fight.
Alacia Gent, CambridgeImprove the UK quality of life. It helps employment issues by offering affordable transport and affordable holiday transport benefits seaside towns. Everyone wins.
Peter Beardwood, WallsendThe recent success of East Coast mainline in accountable hands proves that nationalisation is the obvious and only choice.
Spencer Preece, HerefordStop the rip-off!
Andy Black, EdinburghIt’s time to put it back where it belongs.
Thomas Wilkinson, PrestonIt would benefit everyone involved and would improve the rail network and services in general.
Jason Pickering, StranraerI have fond memories of British Rail in the early 1980’s when my mother used to take me to London on days out. We used to travel from Bristol to London.
Joseph Evans, WinchesterGreat Idea.
