Jules Dawes, SheffieldIt’s not even properly private. Paying massive subsidies to private companies is wrong.
Travis Speight, DoncasterI think this is such a good cause. I get the train almost every day to Leeds to get to college and every day I pay 12 pounds for a return ticket. These prices aren’ t OK.
Sarah Linton, RochesterIf it ain’t broke don’t mend it.
Eddie Walker, WorkingtonBring back BR so we can lead like the rest.
Tanya Levy, LondonJust common sense and not greed.
Chris Gilchrist, BristolEnd the charade of buck-passing and excessive fares.
Robert Davidson, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe nation’s industries – working with vision.
Janet Weston, CowesNever mind HS2 and HS3. Let’s just get the railways unified. BR was far from perfect, but at least fares didn’t have to include a payout for shareholders.
Tina Wilson, Newton AbbotA public service is for the public – not for profit.
Abdul Hamed, Newcastle-upon-TyneHow long will politicians go on ignoring evidence, hide behind ideology and continue to feed the private sector with unlimited subsidies?
Jon Veal, Newcastle-upon-TyneGNER, National Express and now Virgin Trains have ripped off customers on the East Coast Mainline, a service that was profitable and functioning fine until it was sold again.
Rob F, DerbyPrivatisation of the railways has been an abject failure. Re-nationalise.
Lyn Edwards, WatfordWe need a joined up transport system.
Lauren Godfrey, BrightonRail reform is economic reform for the UK.
Dave Bennett, HorshamPassengers are being put in danger on a daily basis by the severe overcrowding. If this goes on, there is a very real risk to health and safety.
John Maguire, EdinburghBase it on the French model.
Dave Ayres, Milton KeynesComment not needed – The problems are obvious without even looking.
Steve Goddard, CrawleyRe-nationalisation could be designed to benefit passengers, workers and small/medium size companies as well through fair non-cartel competition. Fewer lazy fat cats.
Gareth Griffiths, ChesterfieldLet’s stop this vile and obscene mess, with pockets being lined, noses in troughs, madmen in charge. Enough’s enough.
Alex Gordon, BristolYou know it makes sense.
David Kemball-Cook, St. AlbansYes. Privatising was a big expensive mistake.
John Maris, NorwichBritish Rail was finally getting its act together when the ill-conceived 1993 Railways Act was foisted upon them.
Georgina Watson, CroydonIt’s time to restart investing in a necessary public transport infrastructure that isn’t led by profits and shareholders.
Vincent Cunliffe, SheffieldPrivatisation hasn’t worked – it’s time to re-nationalise the railways in the public interest.
Martin CallahanSoutheastern service is terrible. Broken system. Any profits should be re-invested into the network, not paid to shareholders who have no interest in running of the line
Kristina Taylor, CardiffRailways are an essential environmental way of travelling around the country, and the government should be encouraging rail travel. Re-nationalisation is the only way.
Ivor Sperring, WolverhamptonThe rail system is too important to be left to profiteers.
Craig Hurle, HarrogateThe best example of this is the East Coast Main line. Bring back British Rail and save our railways.
Alyce Tyrrell, PooleStop feeding the shareholders.
Terry McKeown, LeedsProfiteering, money before service, disgraceful lies and deceit. It’s time for a change. Escape Tory and Labour lies.
