Stephanie Linford, South Woodham FerrersPlease do it.
Cecilia Buchanan, EdinburghWe need this back. A railway owned by the people and for the people – not for rich shareholders.
Jean Gilliard, BexleyJust bring back British Rail.
Sue Budd, FalmouthI miss British Rail.
Paul Clarkson, BrighouseI pay over £2000 per year for my train ticket to Manchester. We’re stacked in like cattle, no straw, always late. Public transport is a public service, so take it back.
Carina Smyth, GravesendIt’s currently diabolical.
John Burrell, CambridgeA co-ordinated transport system is essential to a 21st Century developed country. This cannot be achieved with the current set up.
Dylan Kilgour, MotherwellWhat’s the delay?
Steve Emsley, HuddersfieldShocking company, greedy CEO.
Martin Alcock, Stoke-on-Trent.At least Ronnie Biggs wore a balaclava.
Sally Weston, WarehamBring back our railway.
Roy Pittman, WestminsterPrivatisation has failed, re-nationalise the railways now.
Tom Baines, OrmskirkI get trains around four times a week. Never has a train been on time.
Michael Dawson, South ShieldsLike all things that work better as a monopoly, it should be under common ownership.
Keith Brighty, YorkIt’s easy to do by letting current franchises run out and not renewing them.
Alan Dunn, Higham FerrersWe want our railways back, serving the people not the obscene profits of the fat cats.
Alan Keenan, GlasgowBring all the Rail franchises back into public ownership. Then they’ll be out of the money grabbers and their cash rich benefactors
Chris Romberg, ShrewsburyBritain needs a unified rail network that serves everybody, not a fragmented, inefficient and over-priced system serving its rich owners and self-interested politicians.
Michael Rowland-Hill, OrpingtonWe now have fewer, older and more expensive trains. Bring back BR.
Charles Honderick, LondonI am appalled by the sky-rocketing price of travel, the most expensive in all of Europe. It’s disgusting.
John Miles Palmer, Stoke-on-TrentFirst help stop HS2 by pushing the cheaper alternatives for a high-speed network, regional connectivity and GB Freight. This would be supported by voters and passengers.
Eve Luddington, Chapel AllertonThe first priority for private companies is their shareholders who want a profit. Nationalise the railways and make them profitable for tax-payers.
David Santamaria, BusheyThe facts speak for themselves.
Benji Clifford, Bexhill-on-SeaNo comment needed. It’s obvious this needs to happen.
Jason Fernee, BillericayLong had enough of franchises, rinsing passengers of money for poor service, uncomfortable cramped trains. Plus I prefer the 1970s uniforms for staff.
Francis Kelly, WallsendTaxpayers should not be subsidising the profit gained by the City of London.
Kether Eaglestone, LondonNationalise the railways now.
Sheila Lovett, Newton AbbotLet’s bring sense back at last.
Jack Coleman, CrawleyThe fair from Crawley to London is £35, for a distance of only 30 miles. This is unacceptable.
Kim Fergus, WirralIf trains are re-nationalised, I believe fares will be cheaper for ordinary people and public organisations. It would be better for health, environment and personal finance.
