Owen Bushell, AltonI wish the absurd state of our industry would end and get back to a single, no-nonsense organisation, with no shareholders, just public service.
Zac Duncan, LondonThis is unfortunately all I’ve known (as a 27 year old). I cannot fathom how it could be more difficult than it is in this situation if it was nationalised.
Peter Wilton, MaidenheadWe could even bring back the connecting service.
James Todd, StevenageI’m sick to death of the useless service we get.
Andrew Brown, LondonHaving multiple companies running the trains is a disaster. I’d prefer a non-profit company (if not government) running our railways with the needs of passengers put first.
Louise Long, BarkingBring back British Rail. One major train company for the whole of the UK. No battles to be made to find the cheapest ticket with different rail operators.
Louise Allison, FalkirkAbsolute shambles. I support anything that’ll make my commute safer.
Sam Morris, MillomBring back BR like the good old days.
Natalia Hamon, PenzanceIt is important that our tax money is invested properly in a nationalised, efficient service, affordable to passengers.
Amanda Sym, LondonTickets are priced far too high and the service is atrocious. Bring back the service for the people.
Patricia Macnair, GlasgowI am very happy to back this. Having travelled on German and Austrian trains this autumn, I am aware of the shortcomings in the British system.
Karyn Buckley, SheffieldPrivatisation was the worst thing that has been done to our railways. Bring them back into public ownership now.
Brian Southam, Leamington SpaPublic services for the public, not for private profit.
John Webber, WareBring back our railways.
Roxana Anniuk, Philadelphia, USAFrequent travellers need decent fares.
Chun Yin Chan, Hong KongBring the rail industry back to life with more British-made trains, something like the next generation of Intercity 125s.
Jim Tait, EdinburghLet’s do this and end the monopoly.
Chris and Rosemary Staddon, NottinghamOur rail network needs coherence which is not possible with too many privatised bits
Miriam Yagud, DursleyBring it back and let’s make it democratically accountable.
Martin Sheville, Arizona, USAI’m lost in the USA and, having been surrounded by insane and extreme capitalism, I have seen that Britain needs to re-nationalise all public service industries..
Yasmin Keyani , NorwichI love using the trains, but privatisation has made it a nightmare. The expense, the constant late or cancelled trains, the absolute lack of care for passengers.
Elizabeth Holt, DurhamI am sick of my taxes and fares being used to profit private companies and their shareholders.
Owen Buddery, BrightonGTR, SWR, Northern Rail, Virgin West Coast, ScotRail are rubbish.
Peter Wright, BarnsleyJust for once, admit that privatisation hasn’t worked. It’s costing more in subsidies now than it ever did when it was nationalised.
Kenneth Toulson, SheffieldSolidarity with all rail activity.
Govinda Dickman, BristolIt should never have been privatised.
Judith Ward, MansfieldPrivatisation of the rail system is a disaster, with extortionate and variable rates for the same journey, multiple ownership of the track and rolling stock and unreliable.
Natasha Pickering, StranraerThey should never have been privatised in first place. The state of trains now is shocking and prices are ridiculous.
Patrick McGuiganLook no further than the East Coast line for an example, with profits going back into public coffers.
Andy Steen, NottinghamNottingham station closed for six weeks, so they cancel services to Beeston and Long Eaton as well.
