Cynthia Roushorn, Wigginton. YorkLet us go back to the times when booking a train ticket was not a lottery and you knew in advance exactly how much you would be paying and there was good service.
Jack Ormrod, LlandudnoBrexit has brought our sovereign country back to its senses. The UK railways privatised some 20 odd years ago have not worked and only Virgin has worked for the elite.
Thomas Davies, FleetIt is a rubbish idea that the rail network was privatised. So bring back BR.
Hatim Abou, MoroccoThanks for sending me stickers. Good luck.
Sarah Marriott, ThetfordBring back British Rail.
Helena Richards, AllantonThe best railways are the state-owned ones. Why let private companies take the money which could be going to back into the Treasury?
Arthur Leewis, AlnwickPublic transport should be owned and managed by the public, not by companies that only are in it for profit.
Dave Forecast, EdinburghEast Coast is the best. They have decent fairs, a great awards system and good service. Why privatise again? Oh, and they make a profit by the way.
Nicholas Bigsby, LondonBring back BR.
Byron Pull, ColchesterMonopolistic privatisation doesn’t work. No investment, poor performance and profit grabbing results when you try to create a market that doesn’t exist.
Frances Farrer, OxfordThe sham promise of efficiency has been exposed as just another way of profiting from public subsidy. The system is chaotic and unfair, and should be fixed properly.
Rob Flint, NottinghamGreat campaign. Thanks for pushing it.
Alice Cochrane, BroraBritish Rail was one of the strongest emblems of national identity Britain had. If our country isn’t over by Sept 19, Milliband, bring BR back.
Tony Lansdowne, BristolCan anyone name a single example of when privatisation has been of considerable benefit to the general public?
Steven Caris, LondonHaving rail in private hands has proved to be a complete disaster on all counts.
Giulio Isernia, Cremona, ItalyThe main people transport has to be public.
Robert Edge, AshfordPut it back where it belongs and that’s in the public hands not private.
Elizabeth Cunningham, NorwichHow are you supposed to have a flourishing and prosperous civilization if you cannot get anywhere?
Rich Lane, Great MalvernA return to the status quo through re-nationalisation is the only way to bring this country back to good socio-economic health.
David Edwards, FromeThe rail network is an essential part of the UK infrastructure.
Katrina Clark, BoltonI have travelled from Bolton to Manchester Oxford Road for 22 years and the peak service is becoming so overcrowded I fear for my life should there be an accident.
David Worrall, NottinghamNo benefit has come from this privatisation, like others. Money which should be invested in infrastructure is paid to shareholders.
Peter De Voil, ColsterworthI use the East Coast service fairly regularly and it is excellent. Please don’t privatise it.
Geoffrey And Patricia Duncan, Potters BarWe need a nationalised rail network. It is wrong to put profits before people.
Alan Higgins, AberdeenEast Coast showed good profits, yet ScotRail being handed to Abellio in April. Scotland needs trains suitable for time/distance travelled, not suburban ones.
Stephen Reilly, Ashton-under-LyneBring British Rail back into the hands of the people who rightfully own it.
Debra Norgate, DewsburyBring back British Rail.
Simon Sandall, SwindonExcellent initiative. Rail prices are absolutely scandalous (some would say criminal) since privatisation.
Eve Wallis, BirminghamNationalise the railways, privatisation has failed as was predicted. Public money for friends of the Tories!
Lynn Macgill, KeighleyAll public transport should be state-owned and state-run, at prices people can afford. Get cars off the road and people onto public transport.
