Sue Dobbing, LondonA unified, not-for-profit service puts profit back into the system, can stimulate growth, improve service and wages and increase commitment from staff.
Colin Naisbitt, Stockton-on-TeesPlease re-nationalise the railways.
Michael Bennett, Berwick-upon-TweedI applaud your efforts, but this can only happen with a socialist government.
Andrew Spence, HastingsIt is high time to re-nationalise British railways and get the kind of system that the French now enjoy.
Jane Glaister, WakefieldThe sooner the better.
Gavin Hudson, SheffieldI couldn’t take a job with a £7K pay rise because I would have had to travel to London two days a week, which made me £200 a month worse off even after the pay rise.
Alicia Hudson, CreweI am not legally allowed to drive. A journey that would be 40 minutes by car, takes me more than two hours by train.
Ken BrodiganAll vital public services such as energy, water, transport, postal services, education and health have no place being run for profit by tax-dodging multinationals.
Bill Anderson, LiverpoolI’m fed up with rip-offs, when you can fly to New York cheaper than train fares to London.
Ashley Sinani, LondonBring back British Rail.
Ron McLean, MoffatI totally agree with the railways being returned to the public sector. I find it amazing that we are paying the private sector public money to run our railways.
Sally Grossett, YorkHow come you can privatise and then bail out with public money if it goes wrong?
Jim Harkson, LincolnshireThe people will it.
Robert Bain, GlasgowPrivate companies are being subsidised for failures and raking in huge profits whilst the average citizen’s fare is being jacked up exponentially. Bring back British Rail.
Malcolm Smith, LondonIt’s outrageous the price I have to pay a month just to get to work. Every year it gets more and more expensive and the service gets worse.
Rolandt Tweehuysen, Kimswerd, NetherlandsThe British privatisation disaster has been copied in various European countries, also in the Netherlands.
Benjamin Parmentier, LondonNo need to comment – the past 5 years speak for themselves.
Joe DiamondGood luck with the campaign! As a commuter I thank you for your efforts.
Beverly Chadwick, StourbridgeRail fares are too high, it’s as simple as that. Rail travel now is a total rip-off.
Keith Green, LondonI just found you today. I want it back in public ownership too, wishing you all the best.
Alan Tebbit, TruroRun for profit railway has been shown not to work.
Michael Verbauwhede, Brussels, BelgiumFull support.
Maxwell Hough, WiganPoliticians like the idea of privatisation because it can generate a lot of money and money is the usually one of the few things that politicians truly understand.
John Jones, LondonFor heaven’s sake, can anything be better for the country as a whole?
Terry Davies, TelfordPassengers not profit, just as it should be patients and not profit in the NHS. Give us back our assets.
David Pardy, ChristchurchWe need a national rail operator. In a small way East Coast Trains have shown what high standards can be achieved outside the private sector.
Diane Wilson, HydeDefinitely bring back British Rail and soon before it’s all sold. It belongs to the people.
Robin Ridley, SheffieldPrivatisation – just a massive failure fuelled by greed.
Ken Taylor, SalisburyThe business structure is simply too complex and expensive.
