Denis Rice, NottinghamWe need less fragmentation of services. East Coast line shows again what public ownership achieves for the benefit of all.
David Wallace, HaddenhamBring back BR.
Wina Yaman, Newcastle-upon-TyneThank you for initiating the movement.
Monica Cassidy, PortsmouthI’m voting Green Party to try to make this happen.
Stephen Atkins, EdinburghThe private rail companies are getting more subsidy than BR ever received. They get compensated when things go wrong. They cannot lose. Time to renationalise.
Danielle Nicolas, ExeterFor the people, not profit.
Sarah Hurley, BristolA reliable, affordable, state-run railway would benefit the whole country.
Susan Scarth, EdinburghRail travel is a human necessity and should be made accessible to all in availability, price and quality.
Owen Gurrey, YorkThis needs to happen.
Sam NicholA union of passengers and employees would be a far more democratic, direct and better way to run our railways.
David Butcher, CarlisleBritish Rail was safer. The rail system we have now is dangerous.
Matthew Hagan, St AlbansSomething has to be done about the shocking price of tickets.
Chris Parsons, BodminThe railway should be a social service, not a commodity to be traded.
Michael David Jewett, HarrogateI feel privatisation has failed big time.
Margaret Dick, PaisleyOnly a nationalised rail network can be integrated with other transport and will give passengers the service they need and deserve.
Geoff Fisher, LeedsA Rail operator that is there to provide a service, not to make a profit, and not to identify revenue opportunities it makes from an already unhappy rail passenger.
Joy Edwards, CodsallIt has been proven that a privatised railway is neither efficient nor reasonably priced. Put it back into public ownership.
Jacqueline Rattray, LondonPrivatisation has been shown to not work. Taxpayers are paying three times what they would if the railways were nationalised. Performance is down and fares are up.
Ray Burnside, EastbourneTransport has got to be owned by us all.
Eric Bush, ShrewsburyGood luck with the fight guys.
Simon Castle, LondonNow.
Thomas Butler, HorshamOver the last year I’ve been unable to take the train when I’ve needed to due to cancellation, strikes and malfunctions. It’s insanely expensive too.
Paul Beattie, CorbyPrivatisation of our railways has been a complete and utter failure.
George Moczulski, LondonOverpriced, poor service. Privatisation hasn’t introduced real competition. The only competition is bidding for lines which increases prices for the end user.
Gill Heritage, HalifaxDad – BR 30+ years, Grandfather – stationmaster, Auntie – porter, Nana’s family – steam engine drivers and firemen. All for GWR. It’s in the blood.
Andrew Byers, NewportIt should never have been sold in the first place.
Brian Stephens, SunderlandTax payers paid for British Rail and they have a say in what to do with BR, not money grabbing MPs.
Debra Norgate, DewsburyBring back British Rail.
Mike Smith, Newcastle upon TyneBring back British Rail – all is forgiven.
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.
