Ian Murray, HerefordRailways for the people, not for shareholders’ profit.
Mic Porter, Whitley BayStart with the East Coast line and take the others up as the current contracts end.
Nicola Riley, RedcarIt would be good to have it back.
Tom McGuinness, BourneI am a frequent traveller and believe that the fragmentation of the system causes waste and inefficiency. Blame John Major.
Ted Bains, South ShieldsThe current system is expensive, confused and dangerously inefficient. It is high time to return it to imperfect but superior public ownership.
Tim Shufflebotham, CanterburyOne rail network always worked better. Plus the industry could go 24hr to meet today’s demands of work/social gatherings, providing more jobs. Also trains every 20mins.
Timm Frenzel, RiscaAlso bring back guards vans so that bicycles can be carried easily. Essential for a super transport network.
Steve White, BarnsleyEnd this privatisation madness now.
Sandy Burnett, LondonSouthern Rail is a disgrace and putting profits before people which is what you get when you privatise.
June Bertram, TruroI travel once a week in Cornwall and every journey has been late by more than one hour except on one occasion in the last 6 weeks. How could it be worse?
Tom Constable, CaithnessWe’re passengers, not customers and we need one good service, not a wasteful bunch of businesses.
Jules Dawes, SheffieldIt’s not even properly private. Paying massive subsidies to private companies is wrong.
Keith Forrest, LiverpoolI am a regular rail traveller and service has never been so expensive and poor.
Andy McEwan, WhitstableThe status quo is not an option. Stop ripping commuters off.
Jamie Stokes, WinchesterIt is time to bring back British Rail for the better of Britain’s rail industry.
Rob Clayton, DoncasterPrices have soared. Can people earning less than 15 grand a year actually afford the train for a day out or weekend away. No chance It’s too expensive.
Sara Castle, Holmes ChapelPrivatisation is not progress. I want to be able to afford to use the train.
Ryab Nicholson, GooleNationalise everything. I’m sick to death with being ripped off.
Barrie Evans, LondonThis is not working.
Nigel Frankland, Waltham CrossPrivatisation of the rail networks has not worked!
Allan Hedley, CumbriaBritish Rail was running a great system in its last few years 1994-96, but those idiotic politicians decided that privatisation was a great idea!
Florence Arthur, EdinburghIt is not working, late trains and profits going to faceless people, where it should be taking care of passengers. There are not enough carriages for folk to sit down.
Tristan Tozer, PlymouthIn a modern era like today, we strive to have better and reasonable transportation. Let’s get on track.
Andrew Read, EdinburghThis is the age of the train, or not as it happens. What happened to Intercity 250? Why are we stuck at 125mph. How much for a ticket? This is the age of the Megabus.
Martin Reaper, DurhamBritish Railways is the only cost effective practical solution for public rail transport in Great Britain.
Kay Harrison, LoudwaterWhy are our rail fares so high compared to the rest of Europe, especially as the Government is still pretty much funding it all?
Benjamin Adams, LewesWe all need our rail system. It is not only essential for our nation but should be part of our national pride.
Shirley Jones, NorthamptonI understand that even with the pressure of having to prepare for privatisation, British Rail still scored more on performance indicators than current companies. Re-nationalise.
Andy Upton, ColdinghamBR was far from perfect, but should have been fixed, not replaced. It is obvious that removing money to pay lawyers and dividends is just a waste.
Steve Gowlett, NorwichChris Green got it right with NSE but was unallowed to continue because freeloaders of the right wing were not able to capitalise on it.
