Frank Nicholas AdamNetwork Southeast was an inspiration and success during the British Rail era, with railway improvements across London and the South East.
Bruce Rose, Haywards HeathBring it on – if every commuter in the Southeast signed this then the government would have to listen.
Simon Evans, Leicesterit’s time to end the chaos brought about by privatisation.
Allan Robinson, SussexWe need a railway that’s a source of pride not profit.
Peter Mason, WickfordThe price into London these days is crazy.
James Jarvis, SouthamptonWe have a Third World train service.
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.
Colin Robson, WakefieldRe-nationalise please. East Coast mainline proves it can work.
Carolyn Scott, LeicesterIt worked well in my past. I want it to be part of my future.
Paul Thacker, NewportBritish Rail is best!
Virginia Griffin Monk, LondonWhen British Rail was privatised, I was concerned about a fragmented and uncoordinated service. I think this is what we now have. Bring back BR.
Praveen Kumar Thampi, Chennai, IndiaThis is highly relevant in India, where the new dispensation is actively promoting privatisation of Indian Railways. Wishing you all the best in your endeavours..
Aude MortonFor a first world country, we have a third world travel service.
Alan Kerr, GlasgowSome rail fares here in Scotland are so expensive that two people could hire a car and drive for less. How can this help progress towards a low carbon future!
Sarah Macdonald, MelbourneCompared to other countries our current situation is ludicrous. The railway should be for the benefit of the people not for the benefit of the corporations.
Chris Burrow, FalkirkIt’s shocking that the UK government is paying foreign governments to run our services, making huge profits.
Clare Owen, NottinghamPrivatisation has failed customers wherever it has been allowed to take place, and it seems employees too. Allow us a National Rail network to be proud of.
Kieran O’Dea, BostonEast Coast worked.
Jo Christman, SpaldingIt’s about time rail travellers got a better deal and the profits come back to the taxpayers and not greedy shareholders.
Peter Yates, DerbyPrivatisation has cherry-picked the best routes and neglected less fortunate ones. We need a proper network again.
Vivian Jenkins, DundeeWhat a mess this enterprise has been. It needs to be sorted now.
Roger Elliott, LondonThe railway should be a service with passengers not a business with customers.
Joe Stoner, BethesdaI’m 65 and remember how efficient and affordable BR was just prior to the ludicrous ideological Tory privatisation which has delivered such a deluge of waste.
Andrew Walker, YorkKeep East Coast mainline nationalised – it’s the best railway in the country.
Roger Kilvington, ManchesterBritish Rail was very bad in its day but we can do much, much better and we should try again.
Greg Logan, KirkcaldyBring back a publicly-owned and run national rail service.
Anthony Duggan, BromleyNetwork Rail cannot run trains or do any engineering so I’m not quite sure what they do.
Mark Sach, IpswichBring back British Rail.
Linda Kaucher, LondonWe must do this before TTIP progresses.
Roger Greeff, SheffieldEast Coast is a good example.
