Julie Chow, WallingtonServices continue to deteriorate whilst prices continue to rise and subsidies increase. Bring the rail companies back into public ownership and public service.
Naomi Durkin, Cortlandt Manor, New YorkMy dream from when I was in my 20’s was to see Britain by rail — as it had the best railroad system in the World. I hope to still do that some day. Please de-privatise.
Owen Chua, SingaporeI am very unhappy with the current state of Britain’s Railways. It’s a great example of “United We Stand; Divided We Fall.”
Lena Shukla, LondonOver-priced, badly run, a shambles that is our railway system. Bring back a unified British Rail that is affordable and reliable.
Barry Jones, Mountain AshBring back BR, but with people running it that care about public enterprise and properly financed.
Patricia Fort, GlasgowBritish Rail was good, but it did leave room for improvement. Some of that came with the sharp edge of privatisation but then the sharks came in.
George Percy, North ShieldsThanks Dr Beeching. Power to the people.
Rosemary Smith, Milton KeynesBritish Rail needs to be reinstated
Jack Sayers Shaw, BournemouthThe railway is a public method of transport, fascination and convenience. I believe private companies should have no say in how our railways are run.
Cynthia Roushorn, YorkLet’s go back to the time when we knew what we were going to pay for a trip well in advance and the service was reliable.
Jonathon Purllant, ReadingStop the price hikes. I’m totally over being ripped off on my daily commute.
Thomas Harker, MarlboroughI’m a young guy who can’t drive a car because I have epilepsy. There is no way I will be able to afford the ridiculous rail fares that we have today if I get a job.
Owen Smith, LondonTerrible service, abysmally stupid staff, under-trained over-paid lackeys.
David Bell, Ashby-de-la-ZouchRe-nationalise the rail service. It was ours and should be again.
Martin Farrow, HarlowBritish Rail is so much better – bring it back.
Margaret Berry, NottinghamThe railways should be for people, not private profit.
Anna Harrison-Melville, AshfordThe responsibility for our railways should be in one hand and accountable to the people.
Kieran Fitzsimons, Newcastle-upon-TyneRailways massively supported the war effort but were never adequately recognised or rewarded in the 20th century. They are a public service.
David L Atkinson, MirfieldEastern Rail’s success is surely enough evidence for re-nationalisation.
Alan Sykes, BradfordPublic ownership is essential for our health and well-being. Rail and all methods of transport realise these needs.
Malcolm Cobden, WorthingPlease, for the sake of everyone bring back British Rail.
Aaron Owens, LiverpoolMerseyrail is a disgusting excuse for a rail network, run only for profit and it has impacted my life negatively. Something needs to be done about it.
Richard Gillett, SheffieldAll national infrastructure and any business too big to fail must be owned by the nation and run for the benefit of its citizens.
David Marc Owen, BangorPrices are too high and very poor service with blocked toilets. Bring back British Rail now.
Colin Robson, WakefieldRe-nationalise please. East Coast mainline proves it can work.
Vivien Doyle, BuxtonI have never had a car, and always relied on public transport. It has got more and more expensive and inconvenient.
Julia Taylor, LeicesterBritain needs an efficient, unified, real service run to provide a high quality service, not an over-priced, disjointed railway system run for profit at our expense.
Gary Cook, CullomptonIt’s a network so it needs to be one organisation.
Jake Eiseman-Renyard, LondonPrivatisation is really backward. Our rail network has gone down the toilet, all in the name of private profits. Change it.
Adam Collier, LeicestershireOur trains are just the worst in Europe and something needs to be done. Fast.
