Enid Dalton, County DurhamBring back BR and the age of the train.
John Michael Swarbrick, LeylandYou only realise how good something is when you lose it!
Douglas Cook, PenzanceTransport is the business of us all and should not have been stolen for the sole benefit of shareholders.
Iain WoodfieldA great place to start. Then we can see about bt and the other utilities.
Maggie Black, Staines-upon-ThamesRemember how much better it all was before privatisation.
Fharat RehmanI will learn to drive I think. It’s much cheaper.
Adrian Sedgwick, BlackpoolIt’s about time the customers were considered, with the companies yielding a smaller profit margin, to accommodate cheaper fares.
Beryl Myers, Co. DurhamBring back British Rail. Privatisation has been a disaster.
Richard Gillett, SheffieldAll national infrastructure and any business too big to fail must be owned by the nation and run for the benefit of its citizens.
David Meagher, Bognor RegisFor a comprehensive rail system which is not for private profit.
James Parmenter, MarchRailways should be run by the people for the people.
Winifred Murphy, NorthwichWe have paid enough In subsidies to these private companies.
Peter Collins, Stanley, Co. DurhamI was born in the same year as British Rail (1948) and I want it back.
Rob Lucas, Ross-on-WyeThe time has come to undo much of the havoc wrought be the unlamented Margaret Thatcher.
G Collins, Leighton BuzzardTransport should not be run for private profit. Commuters are being ripped off and receive poor service for their money. We need joined-up thinking across the transport network.
Kevin Wilson, LeedsPrivatisation of the railways has been a disaster for rail users with rising fares and the lack of investment that was promised.
Thomas Burke, OldhamWhat gives this Coalition the right to sell off the Royal Mail against the wishes of the British people? I’m more than unconvinced. Stop this now.
Michael Bell, Tyne and WearI would like to see this happen but under this so-called rubbish government it will not happen.
Giles Long, St AlbansPlease let us have a train system that a modern country like ours deserves.
Philip Cole, BarnsleyEast Coast contributes to the national wealth, while the other rail companies just take subsidies and make private profit.
James Butler, NottinghamATOC’s greatest achievement is their complete disregard for the passengers. Hatred doesn’t even cover it.
Mohammed Ali, BirminghamIt’s cheaper for me to travel to London by car than it is to go by train. Plus I get a seat as opposed to sitting on the floor like my last two journeys.
Lee Maybin, HitchinThe railways should be run as a national asset not a privatised money-making machine for shareholders.
James Clarke, LondonI want British Rail reinstated as I’m sick of paying fat cats and getting nothing in return. Give us back our network now.
Ashley Collier, MansfieldBring back British Rail.
Grant Gibson, BuntingfordNationalise the whole system.
Philip Stonehouse, SheffieldThere should be a national free integrated public transport service, and all long distance freight should be by train only. Funded by the taxpayer, for the taxpayer.
Louise Scullion, DundeeA non-privatised, national rail network is the backbone of any mature developed country.
Vera Kempe, StonehavenRe-nationalisation should improve the (practically non-existent) service and make operating the rail system more efficient. It’s an absolute disgrace at present.
Chris Martin, WorcestershireA unified railway, with a much simplified fares structure, would be the best thing that could happen to this country.
