Bob Teasdale, South ShieldsPeople need to know that private companies cost us more than BR did, and by definition they are there to serve shareholders’ interests before the Public’s.
Chris Parker, LeedsI’m sick of overcrowded, late trains on my commute to and from work. I have to travel half my journey by bus due to poor connecting trains. Bring back British Rail.
Igor Ryabukhin, LondonIt’s disgraceful that yearly tickets cost more than it costs to run an average car and the trains are late at least 50% of the time.
Ian France, SheffieldOur railways are in chaos: expensive tickets seldom guarantee a seat; overcrowded, underinvested and in need of intensive care.
Brandon Nicholls, ManchesterBritish rail was the best and most reliable railway we ever had in this country. We need our railway back now!
Aaron Watkins, BardseaYes, stop the obscene rail prices. Bring back British Rail.
Adelle Heatley, NorthamptonSubsidies up, prices up and service way down.
Paul Elmore, LondonRail is growing and the privateers are ripping us off. If private industry is so good why do they target the public sector?
Damon Drion, DurhamNo national major utility service should be out of British hands, transport, power, water, national and international security, postal, telecoms etc.
Jason Whattam, LauncestonPrivatisation is theft.
Evin RyanWhy must they all privatise the profits and nationalise the losses?
John Hubert, PencaderRailways work best as integrated networks. Unify our railways to spread prosperity and opportunity for all.
Marcus Turley, LondonGet rid of the daylight robbers.
Andrew Mackie, DundeeI currently can’t buy a house because the train fare for my wife to attend university is too high, over 3 grand a year. That’s more than 12% of my yearly income.
Brian Armstrong, LondonWhen the cost of tickets keeps going up so that the shareholders can have a pay-out each year, the services are getting no better. It is time it was run by one body.
Kyle McManus, LincolnI’m just a train enthusiast. Give me back British Rail and give the people what they deserve.
Matt Wellings, WrexhamI’ve joined. Good on ya.
AlexBritish Rail was broken up (badly) in the 90s to satisfy some ideological political dogma rather than what was best for passengers.
Tony Trodden, MiddlesbroughThis debt amounts to theft of the public’s money.
Steve Leniec, FaringdonAs a frequent user the hike in fares is indefensible. Add in the public subsidy and the rail companies cannot lose, just the poor users.
Paul Caruana, DunstablePlease.
David Lines, DorkingRail privatisation was yet another blunder by Major and his like. I knew people in the rail privatisation office who confirmed it was a totally political move.
Keith Rogers, BirminghamPeople before profit.
John Tilley, East TwickenhamWe need a better service. An incident brings down the whole network.
Catherine Routley, KingstonPut an end to vast profits for bosses to pocket.
Stuart Flude, DurhamWe simply must fight for a better life.
Krystal Garnett, MerseysideInvest in the rail network as part of our strategic national infrastructure.
Glen Turner, WarringtonThe Tory sell-off of the UK infrastructure has not worked. It’s time to get it back.
Steve Burdekin, LondonThe current situation sees a monopoly and expensive fares whilst we still subsidise billions into the private sector when it should be going to the national purse.
Julian Wilson, TonbridgeI know a few of us re-nationalisers round here. Could we hold a meeting or action?
