Sean Brown, BarnsleyBring back BR.
Reece Caldwell, FulhamThere is no competition here. I can’t choose a different train service. Privatisation is pointless within a monopoly. The service provided by Southern is terrible.
Ian Mclintock, Sunbury-on-ThamesOur money (mine and yours) is being used to pay companies and directors, many not in this country, to provide a poor service.
Liam Hartzenberg, CoventryUndo what is the world’s greatest train robbery.
Gary Dickson, SheffieldHow could anyone possibly have thought privatisation was a good idea?
Greg Hudson, LondonOur railways are a public service and should not be used to generate profit for private companies and shareholders.
Richard King, BristolRe-nationalise now.
June Thomas, BoltonMaybe if the rail network was privatised again the system would work more efficiently and that could make it cheaper.
Pat Smith, BrentwoodGet the family silver back.
Paul Britton, StevenageSeparate companies weren’t working, which is why BR was created in 1948, not working now, and it’s glaringly obvious that it needs to be brought back under one company.
Alasdair Lumsden, LondonSince train companies can’t compete and have a monopoly of their route, privatisation is a complete farce.
Garry Blackmore, BradfordTransport for the nation, not for private profit.
Mike Sullivan, HytheBring back British Railways. The train operating companies are not offering value for money and their super inflated tickets are ripping us all off.
John Hoyle, KetteringLet’s get back to a rational co-ordinated transport system.
John Littlefair, BroughA re-unified national railway network is fair, sensible and forward-looking.
Andree Mehew, LondonBecause it’s the best.
Amanda Wickwar, LondonDitch the profiteering privateers and re-nationalise.
Denise Keen, Stoke-on-Trentpeople can not afford to commute for work as it is to expensive, put it back in public hands.
David Zipfell, King’s LynnIt’s time to end privatisation. As each franchise ends, return it to a public run railway at no cost to taxpayers.
Stephen Clark, CumbernauldPut the money where it belongs, back into the railways, to enhance them and bring down the cost for the people that use them.
Mick Brady, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe need the railways to be brought back into the public ownership now.
Sean Cole, GravesendAn embarrassment to our country, and legitimately a large source of much misery in my life.
Jaki Spencer, PontefractKeep private hands off our rail network. I do not want private companies paying shareholders at the expense of services and increased rail fares.
Philip Hubbard, SouthamptonSouthwestern Trains are the bane of my life.
Edmond Bourke, BasildonPublic services should not be in private hands.
Sandy Burnett, LondonSouthern Rail is a disgrace and putting profits before people which is what you get when you privatise.
John Hewitt, PrestonThis utter shambles has got to stop. The railways need to be brought back into public ownership as soon as possible.
Susan Thomas, LondonRe-nationalise the railways and offer a good public service to both passengers and employees, instead of lining the pockets of the shareholders.
Paul Hathaway, BirminghamI’d be interested to see how many politicians have a vested interest in the private rail companies. Time to take it back from the thieves.
Thomas Marshall, OxfordI pay more and more extortionate amounts for an ever less reliable train service. How long must this continue before we admit that privatisation is a failure?
