Rhona Wyer, Upper BangorI’m sick of paying all these backroom boys for being incompetent with their franchise biddings. Let’s have more money spent locally employing people in our stations.
Colin Carr, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt’s our country.
Hilary Strong, EmsworthI think that re-nationalising should be part of any agreement to build the new high speed rail line.
Parham Azima, LondonBring it back asap British Rail.
Georgina Watson, CroydonIt’s time to restart investing in a necessary public transport infrastructure that isn’t led by profits and shareholders.
Alison Clark, High WycombeCompared to other rail networks and general transport services abroad, the UK costs are sky high. We want better than this.
Ellis Sullivan, SheffieldI spoke to a man outside the train station on the subject matter and was quite intrigued. I’m only 14 but it’s part of my future so I thought it was a good idea to sign up.
June Abbott, PerthRipping off people left, right and centre.
Ellie Harrison, GlasgowPrivatisation is not progress!
Ross Cairney, DundeeRail franchises are a disgrace – ridiculous prices, fares that consistently exceed inflation, rude and abusive staff that go unpunished, plus much more.
Ian Murray, HerefordRailways for the people, not for shareholders’ profit.
Ken Simpson, BournemouthRe-nationalise the railways for a better service and better run railways in Great Britain.
Leonard Jones, Ellesmere PortIt should be run by people for the people not for the rich and greedy.
Will Wilkie, BridlingtonIt shouldn’t cost the same as a flight to another country to travel from Kings Cross to Edinburgh. Private companies worked in the past, but not in the modern era.
Glen Postle, Toowoomba, AustraliaI first visited UK in 1974 when British Rail were still operating. Any similarities between service and comfort then and now are non-existent.
Anthony Cuthbert, West AllingSelf-interested Tories ( John Major ) was the driver at the time.
Robert Turnbull, KilmarnockOnly an entirely publicly owned railway system will bring down fares and increase safety.
Irene Jones, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhat exactly does this country own? Answers on a postage stamp please, if you can afford one.
Blair Barnette, LondonEven months in advance, return tickets for less than 2 hours’ journey cost more than the plane fare or renting a car, which is what I do. I find this wasteful and not eco-friendly.
Nick Chincotta, EastbournePlease bring it back as service sucks on a daily basis.
Louise Allison, FalkirkAbsolute shambles. I support anything that’ll make my commute safer.
Dara Foody, HarrowAs a socialist I believe in production for use not for profit. Economic and social benefits of re-nationalisation in many areas, not just the railways, are very appealing.
Andrew Hinder, WokingPost privatisation, operating companies got four times the funding given to BR. Scandalous.
George Tuck, GatesheadLike may privatised national assets, the service went down and prices up to satisfy the fat cats and to hell with customers.
Philip Barlow, NottinghamConnectivity, simple fare system, all better as British Rail, with profits ploughed back.
Ian Beasley, Stoke-on-TrentOur services belong in public hands. No more private railways or bus services.
Joseph Pitchford, HarrogateI bought my train ticket for my regular commute. However, I accidentally bought it for the next day and was then tricked into giving my details for a £100 fine.
Lewis George, AndoverWe need a British Rail, for the people, for Great Britain.
Jennifer Hobson, LapfordPrivatisation has produced a worsening service.
Ted Barnes, AylesburyWe want cheap fares. I want to travel around the network but it’s so expensive.
