Daniel Jeter, TruroBring it back.
Daisy Green, BidefordOutrageous is the lack of a national rail service in this country. It was better when we had one.
Dorothy Nelson, St AustellRe-instate simple fare structures, with one price wherever you buy. The thought of a public service run for the public should not be a revolutionary concept.
Roger Bridgman, LondonBritish Rail offered a good service. Left as it was, it would soon have reached the glossy standards of today’s overpriced, heavily subsidised private companies.
Toby Cornwall, BristolThe rail network is a vital piece of national infrastructure and requires passenger-focussed management and proper investment. It should not make a profit.
Mira Vogel, IlfordIt’s in the name isn’t it – “public” transport.
Terry Connolly, LondonTime to end the nightmare of privatisation and the myth that it gets results. It’s pure greed.
Jim Harkson, LincolnshireThe people will it.
Relsov Obshtestven, Sofia, BulgariaWe support you 100%. In Bulgaria government wants to sell our railways too and systematically to ruin our Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ).
Jon Waring, YorkI don’t want to bring back the British Rail as was – but a modern British Rail which puts quality, safety and comfort first, not profit. The current system is crap.
Matthew Jenkins, WorcesterWhy are the Green Party the only main party supporting this popular and practical policy?
Hazel Mayamba-Kasongo, ChesterI love Virgin who have the west coast franchise. Their service is excellent – trains comfortable and staff outstanding. However, the rest is a mess.
Tom Organ, BristolIt’s now become the elephant in the room. Stop haemorrhaging money from the railways to shareholders now.
Ida Hodgman, HartlepoolHaving been a rail traveller all my life, I believe that the privatisation of the railways was very wrong. They should be owned by the people.
David Callaghan, Kingston-upon-HullRe-nationalise British Rail.
Chris Lewis, LondonI totally agree. We need to end the privatisation madness and bring back an affordable, reliable and accountable service to the British public.
Ken Fitzpatrick, KnutsfordI worked on railway 36 years and had a good job when British Rail. Now all the private companies are interested in is profit which comes from the taxpayer.
Jean Wilson, BradfordWe need a not-for-profit rail network. East Coast has succeeded since being taken out of failing private hands. Bonuses and payments to shareholders put the prices up.
Stephen Williams, Ashford, KentI wholeheartedly agree with your aims. Ex-British Rail employee, took voluntary redundancy in disgust after privatisation. RIP Bob Crow and John Green.
Ian Mortimer, NorthamptonJust do it.
Angela Gardner, ManchesterI am embarrassed by the shambolic services, the prices astronomical and will not encourage car users to leave the road.
Ian Love, SouthseaRe-nationalise the whole of the railways (and the buses for that matter). Give the power to the people instead of profits for the rich.
Chris Venables, SheffieldI want the railways to be publicly run for the public good and to cut down on private car and lorry usage.
Gill Haggie, RotherhamWe need a joined-up rail network with fair working conditions for all employees.
Paul Herwin, Canterbury£250 Ashford to Birmingham peak. Cheaper to go day before off-peak advance and get hotel. £100 in fact so extra money going to hotel not railway.
Brian Wakeling, BingleyInfrastructure and services should not be privately owned.
Katie Harnett, LondonI’m sick and tired of the greed.
Sam Sadjady, LondonThe service, the atmosphere, the filth and, above all, having your pants pulled down every day!
David Turner, Hemel HempsteadAll rail networks should be owned by the people, and not run for private profit
Bill Hobson, MordenDo away with private regional rail networks.
