Christine Bainbridge, DurhamIt should never have been privatised.
Ross Atherton, DunfermlineNationalise the railways.
John Morgan, FlitwickA very good campaign – all the best with your efforts.
Phil SimpsonThe private railway is not more efficient. It is interested only in the bottom line, not providing any kind of a service.
Steve Andrews, LincolnPrivatisation was a terrible failure for commuters and a great win for greedy investors.
Stuart Bogue, AltonBring back British Rail.
Colin Ure, Houghton-le-SpringIt should not have gone in the first place.
Jonathan Deady, SwindonBritish Rail should be brought back and then perhaps we will get a better railway in the UK.
Jasmine Mohammed, Walton-on-ThamesOverpriced rail travel is unfair and unnecessary. There is little to no improvement to facilities to warrant these price hikes. Re-nationalise the rail system now.
Rosalind Brierley, PeterboroughThe East Coast line is doing much better now it is run by the Government again – it is in profit.
Nicky Jerrome, ReadingThis needs to happen.
Elizabeth McManus, BournemouthBring back British Rail.
Alan Holmes, DurhamWell done. First step, save East Coast mainline.
Chris Wrigley, West BridgfordEver-rising prices, overcrowded trains and immense subsidies from taxes to fatten profits.
Norman Luff, PortsmouthI arrived Southampton 1949, saw BRITISH RAIL sign. Hooray. Bring it back.
Terrence Edwards, CardiffTake our railway back now.
Michael Pruce, LondonStop these private companies ripping us all off with their price rises year in year out. Bring back BR.
Maggie Black, Staines-upon-ThamesRemember how much better it all was before privatisation.
Anthony Roberts, LondonIt could be done for nothing.
Dennis Lane, MiddlesbroughNot tomorrow – now.
Caroline WinnTravel by rail is overly expensive, complicated, frustrating. The service is poor – trains are late on a daily basis – trains are dirty with toilets frequently overflowing.
Alan Graham, WolverhamptonBR was the most cost-efficient system in Europe. Imagine what it could achieve with the money these companies receive.
Julia Coryton, SouthwarkPrices of train fares are ridiculous. I hate the 4 hours of standing on an extremely overcrowded train to see my family so much so that I rarely see them anymore.
Graham Howard, LondonBritain’s passenger railway network should be re-nationalised and run for us, not for profiteers.
Collin Deurance, BrightonPrivatising BR was a blatant disregard for the millions of passengers who use it every day for work. The only ones benefitted were the companies and the MPs directorships.
Anthony Howe, LutonPrivatisation hasn’t worked on the railways. Bring back public ownership.
Mark Parker, ThatchamTicket price variations are too confusing and expensive
Elizabeth Musgrove, MiddlesbroughEast Coast is good and should not be put out to tender when previous contractors have failed. Re-nationalise the system.
Stephen Harper, ManchesterThis was always a privatisation too far. We need a national system dedicated to public service and not to private profit.
Linda Uruchurtu, CambridgePrivatised rail companies haven’t provided better services, but uneven ones, with ever increasing fares.
