Geoffrey Gwaspari, BarnstapleThe time is now. End this madness.
Jonathan Goddard, KetteringEnd the corruption that is East Midlands Trains, the adding on of fares due to engineering work because stops are not covered on your ticket. In short nationalise it.
Stephen Robinson, NortholtOverpriced, over complicated. I was stuck in Southampton and needed to beg a rival train company to get me home. It’s pathetic.
Conor Murphy, HuddersfieldNationalised means better fares, better service and direct, competent ownership. Look at DB in Germany. Public can also mean profit.
John Rhodes, Crewe.Keep up the good work. I’m afraid with the posh boys in power who are only interested in lining the pockets of their mates in the City who bankroll them. Eton rules.
James Dodd, SheffieldIf there’s profit to be made, then the profit should belong to the people and be further invested into improving the facilities for the better of us all.
Kevin Proctor, ErithI want to see one rail network for the whole of the UK.
Margaret Alderton, Stockton-on-TeesI am fed up with everything once British being sold off to any other country. We shortly will have no control.
John Wood, CromartyEnough is enough.
Alison Glennie, Seaton SluiceIt just makes sense to have all the rail network run by the government. Public transport should be a service not a profit-making business.
Emma Louis, BirminghamI come from a family of railway workers. I believe in rail travel. I use the train to commute to work but privatisation has not worked and doesn’t put travellers first.
Stephen Done, New BrightonI totally agree. A national railway is the only way to run a vital passenger and freight-carrying network. The privateers need to be banished from our railways.
Liam Brown, LiverpoolAvanti is a mess, Virgin was a much better service in general.
Brian Ellison, WiganNever have so many of the British public been conned by so few.
Sheila English, NewportIt’s quite simple. They should never have been sold off as they belong to the people.
Rob Mulholland, LeedsPrivate rail companies provide inferior service at exorbitant prices. Public transport is just that – public.
Susi Harris, Hebden BridgeI commute to work on trains three days a week. The carriages are too short and trains regularly cancelled. Surely we can do better.
Alan England, ExeterFat cat bosses overcharging the public and never delivering the service as the contract dictates.
Thomas Patterson, Whitley Baywhy can European national railways be allowed to run lines in the UK with less success than East Coast and worse customer survey results.
Amy Atkin, Hebden BridgeI frequently travel by Northern Rail on diesel train stock built in the 70s. They are run by Serco and Abellio, the latter company being owned by Dutch state rail.
Robert McArdle, CoventryWe the public are sick of private companies ripping off customers. Bring the rail network back under public accountable ownership.
Thomas John Wheeler, DyfedCosts on the railways are out of control and the private operators are making artificial profits paid for by the taxpayer.
Malcolm Young, SittingbourneIf we are subsidising a railway, should we not own and control it?
Tom Cloughton, DarlingtonPrivatisation has lost the unique ’rounded’ service previously provided by lifelong railway workers with cross department co-operation and were ‘proud to belong’.
Andrew Clark, Newton AbbotI’m sick and tired of the Great British Rail-fair robbery.
Albert Lord, DoncasterI remember when rail travel was on time, reliable and, above all, affordable. Bring those times back.
Liam Bright, LondonGive us back our stuff.
Tina Wilson, Newton AbbotA public service is for the public – not for profit.
Claire Murphy, BexleyheathSave the taxpayer money. No more giving out huge subsidies to be passed out to private rail company shareholders.
Joseph Callow, BournemouthIt is absolutely ludicrous that the national rail is privatised with the fares going up every year faster than wages are increasing. They need to be re-nationalised.
