Douglas Oxer, BoltonThe Railway is for the people not the shareholders. It’s time to re-nationalise.
Shihab-Ud-Deen Basit, BradfordI’m a Green Party member and therefore understand and know the truth about privatisation.
Steven Lockwood, DerbyPrivatisation of strategic services is an obvious mistake.
Georgie Stagg, LondonI remember the days of British Rail and want them back. I am sick of private companies raking in loads for doing nothing. £1800 a year and I don’t get a seat. Enough.
John Carter, Kings SuttonBecause the fragmentation of the rail network to feed the profits of the private sector is madness.
Penny Wilcox, ExeterAs a regular traveller I care passionately about rail travel. Under unified, coherent, public management/ownership it would be so much better.
Eric Bush, ShrewsburyGood luck with the fight guys.
Lyn Edwards, WatfordWe need a joined up transport system.
Colin Miller, WiganPut the railways back under British Rail and re-open some lines in the Wigan area.
James Jarvis, SouthamptonWe have a Third World train service.
John Blackburn, Llanbedr Pont SteffanOur nearest rail station is Caerfyrddin. We can only go to Gogledd Cymru through Loegr, a minor absurdity of the present system, but still absurd.
Paul Bright, BournemouthWe’re bringing back Great British Rail with Sir Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 to make the UK OK.
Lynn Evans, Stourport-on-SevernNationalise all utilities.
Curtis Dance, GooleA return ticket to Hull is now £12 off-peak; it’s really terrible. Goole has been cut off from Hull and Doncaster by rail fares.
Joseph Aapden, ManchesterNorthern Rail out.
Andrew Tate, WolverhamptonWe need to take all our resources out of the hands of big business and place them back into public ownership.
Jamie Bramwell, CheshireBring back not only British Rail, but all water, gas, electric and banks – all into public ownership and get this country back on track!
David Williams, LeicesterDo it, and get those money-grabbing bastards out.
Olive Reah, BlackburnPlease keep railways British.
Kenny Brown, Fort WilliamPublic transport should be in public hands.
Sohail Zafar, LondonAll strategic industries must be in state ownership.
Andrew Grant Robertson, EdinburghPrivatising the railways was a misconceived policy that wasn’t even prosecuted competently. It is disgraceful that driving is cheaper than train fares.
K Thomas, EdinburghRailways are good for the environment. We need an efficient, affordable service to get people out of their cars and onto the trains.
Douglas McCoy, St HelierMost people I know would be happy to travel by train if they weren’t so expensive. Let’s get more people off the road by nationalising the railways.
Adrian Walker, LancasterCommon sense.
Mavis Burns, BacupBring back sensibility to our railway systems and make it accessible for the poorer citizens of this country. Pensioners I know would love to enjoy days out by train but can’t.
Tom Wakeford, PeterboroughStrategic resources should be under state control and ownership. The current chaos needs bringing to an end.
Malcolm Lanfear, GloucesterBring back British Railways, so we in Gloucester can have a proper train service again, like Cardiff to Newcastle and Swansea to Leeds.
Julia Parsons, LondonNationalise railway, water and fuel.
Charles Reid, LeicesterThe sooner we get a public rail service, run for the benefit of the public rather than shareholders, the better.
