Debra Norgate, DewsburyBring back British Rail.
Alan Johnson, LiverpoolSince it’s been private it’s all about profit and not service.
Robert Bapty, LeedsPrivatisation isn’t working. It’s costing us far more now than it did before for a worse service.
Don Beattie, MiddlesbroughAbout bloody time, every rise in rail fares is subsidising profits for these fat cat owners in their own countries. Re-nationalise now.
Shirley Coupe, NorwichWhy not re-nationalise, take more people off benefits to work in the Industry to, once again, give good customer service, instead of demoralising them with unemployment.
Michael Singleton, StevenageThe running of the East Coast mainline service, not in the private sector, so successfully proves the point.
Stephen Riley, ClevelandA complete and utter shambles caused by incompetent and corrupt politicians.
Isabel White, LondonShareholders take money out and contribute nothing. Spend that money where it is needed.
Andrew Bell, DelamereEnough is Enough. Bring back British Rail.
Michelle Drummond, Newcastle upon TynePublic ownership is the way forward.
Ian McCall, LlanidloesThe current service is expensive, unfriendly and wasteful.
Stuart Moir, FileyEvery privatisation I have seen has failed and has ended up with a more expensive, less efficient, worse service for the people, whilst lining the pockets of a select few.
Fiona Maclennan, DunfermlineBetter train transport is vital to cut emissions and pollution and improve accessibility for people outside cities. Profits should be re-invested to develop a bigger network.
Gillian Murray, NottinghamWhenever I travel on trains of our European neighbours I envy their systems and feel ashamed of the mess and confusion foreign travellers meet in the UK.
Steve Alton, Haywards HeathFond memories of the days of British Rail. Bring them back.
John Gibb, GlasgowMass transportation should be run by the people for the people, not for the benefit of shareholders and corporations.
Lewis East, SwindonBritish Rail was simply awesome, there were no other words to say about it beside that.
Naomi Wallace, OtterburnStop wasting tax payer money on private rail. Bring back public owned transportation.
Dean Anderson , MersthamCheaper fares in the long run.
Robert Ormerod, CardiffThe privatised railway companies are massively subsidised by public money. All privatisation was only ever about creating a mechanism for the elite to enrich themselves.
Brenda Towers, DurhamIt is time for the railways to return to public ownership. It is time that they were run for the good of the nation, and not the wealthy.
Valerie Grant, GatesheadThe railways are better run under British Rail.
Ross Wright, KirriemuirIt can’t be any more expensive than it already is.
Brian Thomas, Pwllheli,They always did belong to the people and funded by the people. They should be set up along the same model as Waitrose – Quality and owned by the employees.
Ruth Atkinson-Wilks, BristolI just tried to book a day return journey to take my son to London for the day (leaving after 9.30am) in 3 weeks time and the cheapest option was £60. This is shocking.
Ian Stewart, RushdenBring back a railway not dominated by the profit margin.
Jake O’Leary, CheltenhamPrivate rail companies provide services that are over-priced and poorly run. Re-nationalise public transport and run it for people, not profit.
Luke Norris, BrightonTake it away from profiteers who cherry-pick services and disregard less popular routes and vital investment.
Dom Maguire, LondonI’m fed up now. Just fed up. Surely a National network would function better than this shower.
Callum Winfield, IlkestonI am sick of all these foreign businesses abusing the system to milk us of all our hard-earned money. It has to stop being about profit. Make British rail British.
