Richard Hanks, SheffieldPeople before profit!
Liam Callaghan, SheffieldPublic transport should not be privately owned.
A S, GlasgowI love trains. Why oh why was such a lovely industry privatised and now used for profit only? Bring back British Rail.
Vivienne Aldred, PrestonPublic transport should be owned by the public.
Laura Mitchell, EdinburghRe-nationalisation of railways is an essential campaign to resist government’s intent on breaking up services currently owned by everybody to line the pockets of the few.
Anthony Cuthbert, West AllingSelf-interested Tories ( John Major ) was the driver at the time.
Steve Blackwell, NottinghamI believe all major infrastructure should be nationalised, so that it is controlled by government, thereby giving the voters ultimate control, not fat cats.
Emily Ormerod, OxfordRe-nationalise British Rail and re-connect with the bus timetable so that people can plan an entire journey as we used to.
Deirdre Carlisle, DumfriesYes please – a properly joined-up rail network service.
Alan Pattison, ManchesterYes, I agree to the re-forming of good old British Rail.
Tim Zacharia, CroydonThe only people who will benefit from this are the shareholders who will be fleecing the general public.
Kevin Walsh, BusheyPrivatisation of the railways is far more expensive to run than the unified British Rail ever was.
Jeremy Tothill, OldburyNow would be a good time to re-nationalise British Rail.
Carolyn Mayfield, OkehamptonWe need proper services, proper pricing which is comprehensible and trains that are affordable and usable. I would use a train to commute to work if I could.
Rona Sharp, IpswichPrivatisation has delivered disjointed services and poor value for money. We can do better than this.
James Peel, StockportI have the utter displeasure of suffering 10 Northern Rail journeys a week. Last week 9 out of 10 were late, and I never got a seat. It is an absolute disgrace.
Rhodri Williams, SwanseaI use trains to travel from home (Swansea) to university (Hull). It would be so much cheaper, easier and more straightforward under a nationalised system.
Susan Nutt, DorsetBring back our railway system and make us the pride of Europe, instead of Europe’s worst transport provider.
Sarah Marriott, ThetfordBring back British Rail.
Laura Flynn, BishoptonTrains are awful in this country.
Margaret Douglas, BirnamWe should be in charge of our railways.
Fiona McMillan, LiphookTrains are far more punctual these days but, boy, are we paying for it?
Janet Wright, CambridgePrivatisation has created incentives for companies to do each other down, or grab extra profits, by practices that make journeys worse for passengers.
Francis Varley, SheffieldI want better public transport, not richer leeches.
Denise Scott, Newcastle-upon-TynePublic transportation should be nationalised.
Linda Peaker, WakefieldIn line with other countries, our rail network should be owned by us, not by foreigners. Who owns the rest of the EU’s rail network? They own their own, so should we.
Mark Mould, RotherhamRail services in this country are dire.
Tony Papard, LondonWe need a co-ordinated British Rail network back, with a simple, co-ordinated fare structure, to be run as a public service, not for profit.
Timothy Geering, SouthamptonFor the sake of an efficient railway system and one that is priced for need and not profit, we need them in public ownership.
Sarah Cartoni, HoveCheaper rail tickets mean fewer cars on the road, less pollution, a better planet and more days out exploring.
