John Rawlinson, StaffsService for the people not subsidies for the already wealthy.
Gurmeet Singh, LeedsWe need to save our billions from going to European railway companies and invest in our railways for a better service.
Margaret Lewis, LeicesterRailways are a public good and need to be part of an integrated transport system in public hands, necessary for our country.
Simon Tucker, SwindonPassengers, not customers. Cost not profit.
Peter Nunn, PolegateI’m just fed up with rip-off Britain and private fat cats getting rich on public assets. Why do we still subsidise them?
Sean Connor, GlasgowA public transportation system for the people should be run by the people and not run for profit.
Stuart Butler, PortsmouthBR gave us a one hour Pompey to London service. It’s now 1 hour 40 minutes. It is also too expensive to use. Privatisation hasn’t worked. Bring back public service.
Ian Hardy, CambridgeSelling British Rail was the worst thing John Major’s government did. Vandalism! The East Coast mainline shows public ownership can work when the right people run it.
Jenny Young, HullLet’s show them how Great Britain should be.
George Johnston, LondonThe privatised service is much worse for customers and employees. It makes no sense.
Lynda Storey, PontefractThe East Coast line works brilliantly. Let’s roll out their model to the rest of the UK.
Patricia Wormald, SheffordOur rail network should not be a profit-motivated organisation.
Leigh Samuels, WolverhamptonJust look at the East Coast line. The way forward is to re-nationalise.
James Gillespie, EdinburghPrivate Profit – Ripping us all off.
Graham Mills, BirminghamNo more fat cats. No more fare increases. Bring back nationalisation. Bring back British Rail.
Nick Scarr, AldeburghPrivatisation of national structure is theft of public assets.
Toby Cornwall, BristolThe rail network is a vital piece of national infrastructure and requires passenger-focussed management and proper investment. It should not make a profit.
Tanya O’Carroll, LondonThe facts speak for themselves. What is the government thinking? We pay higher prices for worse services and we dole out subsidies to profit-making companies
Verity Dams, SwindonAs an actor I have to travel all over the place. I am just starting out, but I can’t afford to go to many an audition because of the crazy cost of train travel.
Martyn Lyman, LeicesterI support the idea of bringing back British Rail because it is ridiculous to think it’s cheaper to fly than to take the train. We’ve had enough, Cameron.
Kenny Burnett, AberdeenEnough of this rich man’s train set.
David Haines, HumberstonBring it back to stop putting performance ahead of safety.
Donal Shea, LondonThe political party willing to take this action will have a powerful example of how they are resisting the idea of profit for the few over the welfare of the many.
Geoff Shinner, TelfordIf it works, why change it?
Richard G. Mitchell, Shepton MalletThe West Country train line is a disgrace. I run a business in Somerset and often have to visit London in reaction to solving a last minute problem and it’s cheaper by car.
Jake Eiseman-Renyard, LondonPrivatisation is really backward. Our rail network has gone down the toilet, all in the name of private profits. Change it.
William LoneskieThe once finest rail network in the world was maligned, under-funded, and then broken up and given away to the spivs and speculators.
Richard Stone, CanterburyI would like to see is a railway system that is managed and run efficiently with good opportunities for commercial growth and employment. Bring back British Rail.
Rick Salter, PenrithAs a regular rail user I know that the previous set-up was better. Bring back BR and put service ahead of profit.
John Raven, EdinburghPrivatisation was driven by WTO in the first place, not for the public good. Rail privatisation was the worst of all. Crazy prosecutions for having wrong tickets.
