Stella Yates, WarminsterI totally agree with this idea of providing the country with a public rail service as opposed to providing ever increasing profits to rich fat cats.
Gabriella Apicella, LondonRail prices have become a joke. Re-nationalising this essential service is a brilliant idea so that people can make less use of their cars and more use of railways.
Charles Reid, LeicesterThe sooner we get a public rail service, run for the benefit of the public rather than shareholders, the better.
Maurice James, St AlbansPlease bring back the concept of public service to British society.
John Reeves, EdenbridgeTell me what I can do to help.
Paul Bright, BournemouthWe’re bringing back Great British Rail with Sir Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 to make the UK OK.
Lauren Hopkins, LondonI use the train frequently and am disheartened at the decreasing levels of quality of all journeys. We need to standardise the whole network as it is a disgrace.
Ian Davies, EdinburghEast Coast Rail was an exceptionally good service, reasonably priced and making a profit – so why hand it over to private enterprise?
Jacqui Lewis, HookWe’ve tried global privatisation – look where it got us. Let’s return to publicly-owned local and national services run for the public good.
Helen Cullivan, Hutton BrentwoodI have to use the train to get to and from work. They have used every excuse they can come up with.
Emma RobbinsIsn’t it obvious?
Ryan, CambridgeshireLove this idea… Could be a massive help for the country!
Mauro Ciaccio, CambridgeRail is the most extensive and universal form of public transport. So it needs to be publicly owned.
Robin Mallinson, HatfieldTrains are necessary infrastructure for the good of the nation so should not be left in the hands of those who would bleed them dry to maximise profit.
Matt Wynne, LeedsWe are nothing but cows being milked dry. The British railway network is now nothing more than a private business with quarterly targets to meet at the expense of commuter.
Louise Scullion, DundeeA non-privatised, national rail network is the backbone of any mature developed country.
Annabelle Killworth, BasildonWe need railways to provide public services not profit for millionaires.
Paul Joseph, HyderabadI’m signing this for my British friends.
Matt Kingsnorth, ChelmsfordI work shifts and I’m fed up with sparse trains outside 9-5. I work in TV. Would you like it if I stopped your favourite programme because I had to get the last train?
Kevin Mallam, MiddlesbroughService before profit, not vice versa.
Kitty Schofield, StockportThe rail network should be run on a not-for-profit basis for the benefit of all. There is too much money being made by private companies out of something that’s a necessity.
Terry Thompson, NewarkThe East Coast line has shown the private failures how to make a profit.
David Patterson, RotherhamIt can’t happen soon enough.
David Samuels, Bishop’s StortfordRailways should be in the public domain because they offer (or should) a public service. The idea of making private profit from railways is ludicrous.
Beryl Myers, Co. DurhamBring back British Rail. Privatisation has been a disaster.
Jack Coley, BristolThe fare prices for trains to and from my loved ones’ homes is completely unjust and simply a profiteering scheme that rips off the little guy. Disgusting.
Chris Crossley, SheffieldI agree that we the people need to take it back from private ownership.
Geraldine McCarthy, ErithFares are too expensive.
Theresa Marsden, PeterboroughEast Coast is putting money back into the public purse rather than into profits for shareholders. That is as it should be. Every privatisation raises prices.
Adam Bloy, LondonService not profit!
