Michael Neal, King’s LynnIt should never have left public ownership in the first place.
Gary Ortiz, Rocky PointRail Franchising has hurt the people and the DfT is corrupt
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’.
Yasmin Chotai De Lima , GravesendI take the train every day. It is inefficient and overpriced.
Mike Yorke, MorpethThe rail infrastructure of this country should never have been allowed to fall into private hands.
Terry Crow, Hedge EndEver increasing fares, crowded and uncomfortable trains, poorer and poorer service. We should have public oversight of a publicly owned service.
Alan Smith, AshbournePrivatising BR was an act of idiocy.
Robert Gordon, LiverpoolIt’s time we the taxpayers have more say on how our money is spent.
Suleman Ahmed, LondonNationalisation for a national asset.
Gareth Pritchard, HolyheadBring free travel to disabled people.
Donal Shea, LondonThe political party willing to take this action will have a powerful example of how they are resisting the idea of profit for the few over the welfare of the many.
Jack Coley, BristolThe fare prices for trains to and from my loved ones’ homes is completely unjust and simply a profiteering scheme that rips off the little guy. Disgusting.
Rod Siddall, SheffieldHaving shareholders creaming off huge amounts of taxpayers’ money never makes anything more efficient or cheaper. This is a lie which the public falls for time and again.
Gillian Lawrence, EdinburghCurrent rail transport is complex, profit-driven, with safety loopholes. It should be replaced by a sustainable service offering an alternative to car travel.
Peter Burns, NewportPrivatisation can only work where there is competition. With rail we have massive regional monopolies taking all the reward, paying no investment and are even subsidised.
Stephen Sanderson, RochdaleRolling stock investment needed.
Tom Lovelock, LondonAs soon as possible.
Peter Harris, SouthamptonRail transport is a national asset. Treat it like one.
Tun Loakthar, LondonThanks for organising. I always wanted to find people who also want nationalisation of British Rail.
Richard Sharp, PolegateI hope this is not a lost cause. Tories do not want public ownership and Labour did nothing under Blair and Brown, re-letting franchises instead of direct rail control.
Russell Stubbs, ColchesterGreat Eastern commuters have no choice of rail companies, so how can privatisation be of any use to this line? Private business always wants to make profits, not run great railways.
Graham Cooke, WorcesterThe Rail transport infrastructure is a major national strategic asset which should be restored to public ownership.
Janet Ferry, BlythWe live in Northumberland and we want a train.
Kevin Glaister, StroudBring back British Rail.
Michael Craig, MagherafeltPeople before profit.
Thomas Lloyd-Mead, BournemouthNetwork Rail has been a pivotal downfall in transportation and commuting in this country for far too long.
Peter Evans, Merthyr TydfilRail was nationalised originally because of private company failure. Now we have a triumph of dogma over reality.
John Dadacz, Sutton-in-AshfieldYes unify the rail services; you know it makes sense.
William Boyd, WareI’m a recent convert after travelling on state-owned railways in Europe – cleaner, cheaper, air-conditioned, punctual.
Suzi Boardman, BoltonThis is a public service and shouldn’t be run for private profit. Why should there be profits when most services are overcrowded, understaffed, out-of -date and running late.
