Lee Garratt, BraunstonPeople before profits!
Marcus Bonner, HitchinPublic transport is for the public good, not private profit
Julia Charlton, Newcastle upon TyneEast Coast is working well – keep it public.
Kenneth Muschamp, RetfordPrivatisation doesn’t work for the public, only for the shareholders. Let’s get it back working for the public.
Derek Carter, SunderlandPossibly the greatest example of a failed privatisation.
Graeme Dawes, UckfieldLet’s have our National Transport System not for profit.
John Stephens, BedfordThe dis-aggregated British Rail does not work for passengers; it works for shareholders.
Oliver Laraman, WhitstableScrew the overpriced fares! We need re-nationalisation now.
Jonathan Kirk, LondonPut the rail system back in public hands so we don’t keep getting ludicrous price increases that just don’t happen across the rest of Europe.
David White, GlasgowI’m so tired of expensive fares and terrible co-ordination between competing rail operators. Infrastructure should support the wider economy, not exploit it.
Niall Garner, WithamInability to run a rail franchise. Lack of investment.
Francis Dalton, BracknellIt’s too bloody expensive to buy a train ticket.
Robert Ughes, WorthingEnough of the lying idiots not providing a service. Enough. Ask your Parliamentary Candidates.
Michael Ramsey, BirminghamTime to concentrate on what’s best for the travelling public not shareholders.
Marc Davis, LondonI’m disgusted by soaring prices and over-complex pricing structures and services. It makes doing business in the UK harder and not using your car for leisure trips difficult
Matthew Hewson, LouthBring it back to British Rail.
Matt Murphy, BristolEverything that was privatised by the Tory slugs in the 80s and 90s should have been re-nationalised soon after.
Sharon Davis Green, USAI rode British Rail for years visiting the UK. It was wonderful. This is a travesty and you should be ashamed.
Verumignis, LondonAs a trainspotter, I would really like to see British Rail return. Fares are the worst part of privatisation in my opinion, they are high and inconsistent.
Simon Bell, TorpointPrivatisation has failed the passengers and serves only the shareholders of the rail companies. Re-nationalised and run efficiently East Coast line shows public success.
Bill Holland, ManchesterSubsidise public transport, tax fuel.
Liz Humphreys, OswestryDisgusting that foreign companies are shortlisted to run Welsh trains following Brexit. Let’s have a British company trading as British Rail.
Gerald Milward-Oliver, Bradford-on-AvonIt’s blindingly obvious that if you have several dozen private companies running all parts of the rail system, a large chunk of income will be lost.
Richard Quigley, BirminghamPublic service not a profit making industry.
Rob Clayton, DoncasterPrices have soared. Can people earning less than 15 grand a year actually afford the train for a day out or weekend away. No chance It’s too expensive.
Mark Priest, OldburyTransport systems should not be owned by greedy private companies who have no interest in providing a service, only making money.
Alan Notton, EssexAnything that looks after the people of this country and not lining the pockets of the greedy 1% gets my vote. It’s just common sense really.
Terry Knapton, RotherhamBritish Rail was better run.
Ann Ashby, SelbyBring back a unified railway, then work towards a completely integrated public transport system, trains, buses and ferries.
John Raynor, LutonRe-nationalise energy as well.
