Kimble Perry, DoverIf we want to get more people in trains and off the roads we need affordable prices. More passengers legitimise railway investment.
Fiona Wright, LondonEnough is enough. Let’s get back to a joined-up rail system.
Andrew Lyall, LondonI’d happily pay more tax for a cheaper, more reliable rail network.
John Walton, Kirkby StephenIf only the amount of money wasted currently had been available to British Rail. We would truly have a world class railway.
John Faviell Taylor, RiponPrivatisation of British Rail as legalised theft and ideology taken to the point of insanity.
Linyu Foo, LondonRail fares are way too expensive compared to our European counterparts. We need to do something about this.
Kassra Yazdani, LancasterFirst class carriages may as well all be standard class, especially when you don’t get everything advertised.
Lerone Rose, PeterboroughIf it’s not broke don’t try and fix it. The government should never have privatised the railways. Bring back the slam door train too.
Tom Powell, OxfordFares since privatisation have spiralled out of control and the quality of service on some routes has actually decreased (namely First Group) Look at East Coast. BBBR!
Michael Smith, EnfieldUnite the railways and make it better for customers and staff alike.
Revd David Ward, NottinghamWhy did we ever allow our rail services to go back into private hands when we know all they are interested in is making a profit for share holders.
Richard Mallender, NottinghamThe Green Party (I’m a local councillor) supports this cause.
Christopher Cunningham, Market HarboroughI agree that the rail network should be de-privatised and run by a non-profit organisation.
Richard Smith, BungayWe need a national railway network that the whole nation can be proud of – not the shambolic mess that we have now.
Kathleen Napier, PrestonBring back trains where seats are available in ordinary class and not just for 1st Class passengers. 1st Class carriages are half empty whilst the others stand for miles.
Danny Carrington, WorthingBring back BR.
Conrad Bower, ManchesterAll hail, British Rail.
Ian Sharman, NorwichStop crippling your own workforce by making it more difficult and expensive to get to work.
Phil Hine, ManchesterBring back British Rail.
Glyn Morgan, LiverpoolWe currently subsidise the rail network more heavily than we did when we owned it yet they still make a profit. That’s our money and it should be re-invested.
Keith Northeast, NottinghamBring back all privatised industries.
Robert Pierce, DolgellauTravel by rail is out of the question for me. It’s far too expensive.
Jamie Robertson, LondonSo we gave it a go and it failed us all. Bring back British Rail.
Margaret Green, GlasgowThe rash of privatisations which started in the 1980s has impoverished many people and failed to deliver good, or even adequate, services for all.
Rhys Thwaites-Jones, AberystwythThere are no motorways or dual carriageways in our county and the railways are vital. Invest and reinstate the rail link from South Wales to Mid and North Wales.
Samuel Fitzgerald, CaerphillyIt is time to bring back what we lost, to the forefront of the railway network.
Tyler Brace, PeterboroughI want to bring back BR because the railways should be known as one and, as a trainspotter, it would be easier to use the railway.
Rachel O’Hare, LondonIf trains were more affordable, fewer people would drive long distances and the environment would benefit.
Sue Habeshaw, BristolIt just makes so much sense.
Philip Campbell, LiverpoolGet it back off these profiteers as soon as possible.
