David Tait, BarrheadBring it back.
Philip Thomson, DalryThe Neo-liberal experiment has failed, catastrophically. Bring back public ownership of all public services.
Angela Carter, Walton-on-ThamesThe railway should not just be for the rich. It has been priced out of the ordinary person’s reach. It should never have been privatised. The only winners are the shareholders.
Barbara Stewart, ColchesterBritain deserves a decent, homogenous rail network. Bring back British Rail.
Alison Parker, EnfieldAs a First Capital Connect victim, I fully support your aims.
Justin Cryer, Weston-super-MareBritish Railwas more publicly orientated and less just out for profit. It just makes for an awful railway system.
Brian Jones, BradfordA commonsense idea that really does need to be put into practice.
Neil Beecham, LeedsWho ever thought privatisation was a good idea in the first place? Profits for shareholders usually mean corners cut in the service.
Leon Maurice-Jones, LondonIt should never have been stolen from us in the first place.
James Banville, WokingAs usual all the profits going to shareholders, with users left with dangerously crowded trains with tickets at criminal prices.
John Page, HertfordLets at least keep Directly Operated Railways on the East Coast public not privatised.
Christopher Madeley, AbergavennyNothing else makes sense.
David Singleton, DurhamDrop HS2 plans.
Mick Rix, NorthumberlandHow can they take away what is rightfully ours in the first place? It’s the same with everything else that has been sold off.
Peter Fisher, YorkWhat would BR look like now if all the money wasted in privatisation had been invested in BR.
Jackie Smith, LondonIt’s got to be a joke the overcrowding on London trains and the regular price rises above the rate of inflation. Yet shareholders get returns and bosses get bonuses.
Paul Lenihan, LondonThe system as it is now is a bloody mess and one big massive rip-off.
Melbourne Chadwick, SheffieldRailways are for the people, not the Tory millionaire shareholders.
Mona Johnson, StockportWe need to adhere to the European standard. We subsidise it in any case. In France, Belgium etc. there are clean fast trains that run on time.
O J Donnelly, AldershotExpand our railways to where people need to go and not just where it is profitable. Get people off the roads and save the environment. Bring back and expand motor-rail too.
Kenneth Jones, TreherbertIt should never have been privatised.
Gary Linney, YorkBetter for all. British Rail must be put back into public ownership.
Jane Mcguigan, WatfordI was an employee during the late 1980s, working at Euston House and Rail House Euston for British Rail.
Stephen Godden, Port TalbotI’m old enough to remember just getting the train to go somewhere and getting there for a fair price without hassle, and without having to buy a ticket six weeks in advance.
Graham Shipman, RetfordWhy give money to privateers to bail them out when we can unify the railways and make a profit like the state owned East Coast mainline.
Christopher R Wintle, BirminghamAffordable travel for all.
Ian Middlehurst, Sunbury on ThamesCan we have a society in which people matter first please?
Neville Redvers-Mutton, RamsgateSeason ticket costs are unsustainable – complete 21st Century re-think of UK railways NFP funding model required.
Karen Nolan, StockportI’m sick of everything run for profit, what about service to the people of this country who pay for everything through their taxes but get nothing except cuts in return?
Robert Jones, BirminghamService not profit.
