Alexander McLean, KilmarnockPoor service, no rolling stock, later and never early.
Chrissie Storey, MordenIt’s time we got back to basics. One network with a commitment to providing an efficient service without the need to rip off the passengers. Bring back British Rail.
Stephanie Thomas, LondonBring back British Rail.
John Lowe, OxfordBring back British Rail and get rid of all the TOCs and bring it under one umbrella.
Phil Drake, SheffieldThe success of Directly Operated Railways gives the lie to the idea that private equals better.
Ben Moore, AlnwickI believe we should take the key utilities and infrastructure back into public ownership.
Eleanor ShortWe’re sick of the delays, extortionate ticket prices, overcrowding with lack of seating. Bring back British Rail for the better wealth of UK.
Carol Byng, LudlowPrivatisation hasn’t worked. Let’s have it all joined-up again.
Roger Payne, HarpendenThere are some services and utilities that are too important to be in private hands, energy, health, education amongst them.
Bradley Ruben, IlfordBritish Rail had class. British rail had its own recognisable railway uniforms. There are too many names now. The name Britain is lost from the industry.
Roger Clogg, HavantBritish Rail, owned by the British government, for the British people, profits ploughed back. British Rail for the British people.
A Paterson, ShropshirePeople need trains and they should be run for them and not for the profit of shareholders.
Joshua Tyler, RotherhamHow has rail got so bad and so expensive? Turn it into just one company and bring back British Rail.
Russ Hore, PattinghamI have watched rail travel get worse and worse over the last forty years. It needs sorting out.
Sheila Barclay, GlasgowRail travel has become a cash cow for private companies. Result: a very poor, overpriced, service.
Ben Page, BasildonLife with British Rail was cheaper, better run, more organised and had more available routes.
Gillian Trainor, NorwichPrivatisation hasn’t worked for the customer. Let’s have a joined up rail service that works for the customer. Competition hasn’t improved anything.
Margaret McAlister, RotherhamIt costs more for the private companies to run the railway.
David Lewis-Baker, BathWe need to bring to an end this, the worst of a series of appalling privatisations.
Chris Ritchie, IpstonesFor all its faults British Rail was still 10 times better than the current services.
Sue Richmond, SheffieldI just love our trains, so save them.
James, LondonBring back British Rail, there is too much confusion out there!
Alun Llewelyn, LondonOur taxes are used to keep the shareholders happy.
John Ward, BirminghamThese railway companies are rubbish. Definitely bring back British Rail.
Jane Worsnop, AscotInefficient, uncomfortable and environmentally unfriendly, the privatised railway system is good only for the shareholders.
Vikesh Mistry, LondonUnacceptable service at continually greater unacceptable prices. Please bring back British Rail.
Christopher Sykesud, WatfordPrivatisation is wrong. It is theft from the British people. It is time that stolen goods were returned to us.
Richard Paul, StroudThe rail fare-structure alone is madness, plus I’m a passenger, not some customer to be ripped off.
Alan Campbell, BalernoRail privatisation has been a disaster except for a few company directors and other major shareholders.
Robert Barry, Forest Gate, LondonRailways should be run as a public service, to complement other transport and logistics, not compete with them. Funding also needs to be protected from government whims.
