Naomi Standen, BirminghamYes. Simpler ticketing, pricing that pays fair wages not shareholders. State investment for everyone’s benefit, not to pay fat cat bosses’ salaries.
Dennis Archer, ArnoldBritish Rail first then the utilities.
Jenny Dimond, WarePublic services should remain as public not private enterprise. Put people before profit.
Erryl McLarty, Whitley BayRe-nationalise – it makes sense.
James Mackay, GlasgowGive it back: you’ve mucked it up.
Doreen Martin, BarnetSome things just need to be in the public sector.
Elizabeth Timms, St NeotsYou’d do better supporting the Green Party than Labour if you want this to happen.
Jess Golden, BournemouthThe price of train tickets these days is ridiculous. I am a very regular traveller and it costs me far more than I should have to pay for the distance I’m going. BBBR.
George Moran, Princes RisboroughBring it back.
Dorothy Smith, SouthportBring back British Rail, British Gas and Electricity.
Glenn O’ConnorI recently returned to Britain after a decade of living abroad and was flabbergasted at what commuters are paying for train transport.
Gary Mitchell, BournemouthFor vital utilities de-nationalisation simply doesn’t make sense.
Mark O’Neill, NottinghamIt’s not about socialism, it’s about having a working transport system.
Graham Chadwick, LittleboroughThe sooner the better.
Weronika Harrison, LiverpoolI believe that privatisation of all sectors does not create a competitive market: it gives monopolies the chance to become even more powerful. Bring back nationalisation.
Michael Kemp, WoolpitBring back BR. Fares are a joke. Why can’t they stop putting up fares every January?
Noel Symonds, RedhillSurely a nationalised service could be used to re-invest 100% of the profits made in better services plus staff pay and conditions, rather than lining fat cats pockets.
Helen Kenner, LondonI absolutely agree it is time to stop the ridiculous subsidisation of shareholder profits in an industry where operators effectively operate as monopolies.
Margaret Gallacher, East KilbrideIt needs to be re-nationalised and profits re-invested in the service and health and safety of staff and customers instead of benefiting the city fat cats. Royal Mail next.
Steven EvansThe trains are overcrowded, smelly and dirty, which is a nice way to start my journey to work.
Jamie Taitt, SurbitonScamming government national rail. Get rid of them.
Kay Groom, KinghornI’m totally in favour of re-nationalisation. It would be better for staff, customers and the environment, as more of us would use it if it was cheaper and more efficient.
Steve McCarron, WorcesterThe selling of our railway network and its rolling stock was the theft of public property.
Alan Coode, OxtedAs an OAP I can’t afford to use the railways.
John Plumm, HarrogateWe have been ripped off for two decades by rail privatisation. We fund it, we should own it.
Owain Glyndwr, HaverfordwestLike all privatisation, the railways are now in a complete mess. More public subsidies than BR ever saw and the service is diabolical.
Francesco Anselmo, WatfordIn UK public transport and trains are more expensive than cars. This is the incredible paradox of privatisation.
Alasdair Lumsden, LondonYes, bring it back.
Alex Tinkler, BarnsleyRequired services in our country should not be open to profiteering on the free market.
David Gillian, LeedsPublic transport should be for the public, not for private profit. With climate change looming we need affordable fares to encourage cleaner travel. Re-nationalise the railways.
