Jonathan Goode, CaterhamRe-nationalise the current rail system.
Graeme Allister, DunfermlineAs the tax payer already contributes to the private rail network we might as well own it.
Lucy Gaster, LondonThe rail service in this country has only got worse and more expensive since being privatised. Run it for the people not the fat cats.
Simon Boydell, ManchesterI’m sick of fares rip-offs to pay for share-holder bonuses. Renationalise it now.
David Deadman, BelvedereOne railway publicly owned.
Sophie Lea Gerrard, StreathamWe need British Rail.
Jerry Jacobsen, ForresOur public transport and utilities should belong to the people and should never have been sold off for private gain.
David Wilton, BathI have to endure the poor service and high prices of GWR, formerly First Great Western every week. Bring back British Rail.
Charles Boylan, PrestonBritish Rail was much better. You don’t realise what you’ve got till its gone.
Elin Owen, CaerphillyYou know it makes sense.
Francesca Bennison, St AgnesIt’s ludicrous for public money to be handed to private shareholders through TOC subsidies.
Mike Sollitt, YorkCan anyone name just one privatisation that has improved things for those who originally owned it? I thought not.
Michael Barr, AshteadDown with Thatcher, up the revolution.
Barney Cox, LondonI’m so sick of spending an increasingly vast amount of my wages on trains. Freedom of movement is a basic right.
Thomas Baker, CambridgeWhy is the British government subsidising European railways? No other country has seen fit to imitate our (disorganisation of railway ownership.
Andrew Conway, GlasgowProfit for the people, not for the select few who hike the rates up.
Neil McNab, LondonRailways should be publicly owned.
Elizabeth Smith, WhitchurchThings have changed for the worse, and not for the better.
Robert Morris, AberystwythI thoroughly agree. De-nationalisation shouldn’t have happened in the first place and an overhaul is now overdue. The travelling public are getting poor value for money.
Alastair Lings, GalashielsIn the past local trains would have waited until the arrival of late-running main line trains, but they don’t in the era of a privatised system.
Geoffrey Bottoms, SheffieldPeople before profits.
Elmer Terry, LondonStop profits being siphoned off into private pockets. Nationalise now.
Paul Johnson, CoventryI started my railway career in 1983 with BR but I’m now unemployed due to depression.
Dave du Feu, LinlithgowThe East Coast service shows that public ownership works best for passengers and for government.
Janet Forsyth, EdinburghBring back joined-up railways and joined-up thinking on public transport.
Thomas Hallam, LondonI do want Britain’s Railway back into our hands.
Keith Vause, HorleyUseless Southern Rail. I could do better on my own.
Frank Bradley,Rail privatisation has been a disaster.
A P Sibbons, BradfordAlso bring back the title ”passenger” instead of “customer”.
Zoe Hunter, ChesterfieldIt’s useless under privatisation.
