Mart Duffy, LeedsThe network should work for the benefit of those who use it.
Brian Armstrong, LondonWhen the cost of tickets keeps going up so that the shareholders can have a pay-out each year, the services are getting no better. It is time it was run by one body.
Jenifer Jobbins, BodminI’m tired of the mix-ups and poor service.
Jamie Neil, AldershotIsn’t it time that the government listened to regular rail users and bring back British Rail and stop this privatisation madness?
S Grygielewicz, ColchesterWe need an end to these greedy companies that put profit before people.
John Wilkinson, Milton KeynesI like this idea.
Roy Eyley, FarnsfieldAbout time too.
Diana Rossborough, LondonI’m actually quite alarmed for my personal safety on overcrowded platforms filled with angry would-be passengers. I also fear disease from filthy carriages.
Denise Rhodes, LondonYou know it makes sense.
Sasha Farooqi, LondonPlease bring back British Rail – we need it now more than ever and upgrade it to faster rail like the Toronto Transit Trains built by Bombardier. – https://www.metrolinx.co
Chris Hoy, LeedsIt’s about re-nationalised British Rail. Run transport services for the people who use them, not the directors.
Roger Clogg, HavantBritish Rail, owned by the British government, for the British people, profits ploughed back. British Rail for the British people.
Alex Stocker, BristolEnough profiteering, let’s get our social railway back and serve the people who really need it, as well as those who choose to.
Dorothy Jenkinson, GranthamEssential to have a nationally owned and co-ordinated rail service.
Terry Grimley, BirminghamThe kind of people who complain about the bureaucracy of the EU are the same kind of people who designed the Byzantine complexity of Britain’s privatised railway.
Chris Manvell, Isle of SkyeIn general, I feel that all essential nation-wide facilities and services should belong to the people and not to private companies whose main purpose is profit.
Mike Langstaff, KirkcaldyCome to grips. Rail Travel just makes sense with a unified, nationalised organisation. Private is not necessarily best.
Sean Green, SouthendGreedy shareholders.
Keith Allinson, BlaydonThe sooner the better. Stop fat cats ruining our country.
Barry Footers, SkegnessIt’s a national disgrace that a profit-making line be put into the hands of the City instead of being used to ensure a better service. That’s typical of Cameron.
Emily WeardenI use the railways every month to see my daughter and it’s getting to the stage when I can’t afford it.
Joan Edbury, BaildonWe need a transport system that deals with traffic congestion and carbon emissions on the roads. The railways could do this.
Andy Soulsbury, HastingsStop hiking train fares. Let’s have a national organisation once again.
Aaron Green, Earl ShiltonI use rail travel a lot more then other forms of public transport and I believe in this cause.
Scott Brady, BurntislandEast Coast has failed in private hands, worked profitably for the state, yet has been returned to the private sector. Bonkers.
Matt Williams, WaterloovilleBring back British Rail.
Derek Carter, SunderlandPossibly the greatest example of a failed privatisation.
M Newman, EdinburghRight now we the British public are wasting millions of pounds each year on a joke of a so-called not-for-profit rail network so that companies can profit from the people.
Jimmy Purewal, LondonI believe that the railways should be nationalised because they are too expensive for me to be able to commute to work and other locations.
Gail Bishop, CaterhamPrivatisation – lining shareholder’s pockets since 1995.
