Richard Wakeford, CambridgeI saw this in today’s “Grauniad.” Good on you, Ellie.
Mair Jones, DenbighExcellent campaign.
Killian Kane, ColchesterOur money is not being spent on the rail service and we are forced to use twenty year old trains.
Angi Stokes, PortisheadTake a look at the French system where trains are clean and run on time.
Howard Shaw, PrestonIt should never have been privatised.
Steve Summers, Henley-on-ThamesIt’s shocking that what should be a public service for us all now simply lines foreigners’ pockets. A national disgrace.
Joseph Miller, LondonPrivatisation is an article of faith in the political consensus of our times, despite its appalling record of failure. It is time to bring back British Rail.
Hilary Hunt, Market OvertonA rail service where passengers are valued, instead of being ripped off to line the pockets of the already obscenely rich.
Les Hughes, WakefieldBring back British Rail and sort out this ludicrous mess. Is there anywhere else in the world where ticket prices for the same journey change from day to day?
Patsy Willis, St AlbansI am all for this. The railways are a shambles at the moment and too expensive. BR will be much better and end all the nonsense with fares.
Fred Whitby, LondonTake shareholders out of the equation and run rail as a service, not for private profit.
Merry Cross, ReadingTake it back from companies by asset stripping – just as they would!
Jacqueline Clifford, BramptonI would like to re-nationalise everything which has been privatised, plus the banks.
Richard Chappell, WalsallThe days of the Big Four are gone. We need a well run and managed national transport system as seen in other European countries.
Aud Jones, LeicesterFar too expensive and people getting rich on the back of it. Let’s subsidise and bring down prices, not make fat cats richer.
Martin Griffin, EdinburghThe franchises bloat the cost of management of the railways. The shareholders – often foreign national railways – are not investing profits in the UK rail companies.
Judith Willis, NewarkThe present system has got to be rescued.
Paddy Carstairs, DalkeithPublic transport in public hands.
Liz Gwynne, RuncornRailways should be run to benefit the customers, not multinationals looking for a profit.
Christopher Teitge, StaffordBring back our British Rail. It is for the people of Britain and not for the profit of these greedy selfish fat cats.
Tomas Bayliss, WorthingRe-nationalise public services now.
Jennifer Craig, Fredensborg, DenmarkA UK citizen living temporarily in Denmark, aware of the benefits of state-owned railways and a joined-up system. See DSB and Rejseplanen – Britain needs the same.
Noelle Berney, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhy must everything British be privatised or sold to other nations?
Desiree Muller, LondonBring back British Rail. All is forgiven.
Roy Robertson, DennyPublic service should be the watchword and not just making money. East Coast trains should be the re-nationalisation model.
Barbara Serres, LiverpoolNow I’m retired I want to spend my free time travelling round the country but even with my railcard some fares are ridiculously expensive.
Michael Deacon, Hemel HempsteadFares going up and service going down.
Peter Little, DurhamVirtually all privatised rail profits have gone to shareholders. Very little re-investment. Such as it has been, it is the British taxpayer who supplied it.
Stephen Gidley, HaslingdenNationalised public transport works well in lots of other countries.
Iain WardI miss British Rail porridge.
