Colin Telford, TruroStinky dirty two-carriage boneshaker trains, overcrowded in summer. Even when the insides are renovated they still leave grime in the recesses.
Jenny Speller, BathThe railways belong to the public, not to profiteering corporates.
Stuart Moore, TruroPrivatisation has proved more expensive than BR.
Hugh Pashley, SheffieldThe franchise system is a shambles as illustrated by the West Coast Mainline fiasco. Use of taxpayers money to produce profit for shareholders is a scandal. Stop it now.
Martin Rowlands, WidnesI just hope that the politicians accept that the current system would improve if it was just one company with proper accountability. Gas, electricity and water are the same.
Gary Sell, DarlingtonIt should be a transport system, not a profit organisation for a few cowboy bus operators.
Moya Berry, ManchesterNow there is the opportunity to bring British Rail back.
Andrew Stewart-Wright, RugbyMore money has been wasted on consultants and legal fees that could have been spent on Rail. It would be great if we had this wasted money spent on rail instead.
Anthony Cuthbert, West AllingSelf-interested Tories ( John Major ) was the driver at the time.
Josh Cranwell, Letchworth Garden CityThe companies running our rails are a joke. The prices we pay for the poor understaffed shoddy service is criminal and something has to be done.
Rosemary Scott, ChesterOf course all public services should be owned by the state, i.e. us. This includes railways.
David Nicholson, LeedsOur railway system is nothing short of a farce. They must be under one control to make them work as one complete unit.
Ian Middlehurst, Sunbury on ThamesCan we have a society in which people matter first please?
Robin Richardson, Walton-on-ThamesIf East coast can do it with such great service then bring it on.
Tony Laidler, RytonMake it happen now.
Phil Clarke, NuneatonFormer BR employee seeks re-nationalised network for constructive relationship.
Mair Jones, DenbighExcellent campaign.
Stephen Thomas, LondonThe privatised railway system which was imposed upon us is manifestly not fit for purpose. It is fractured and massively expensive both to run and travel on.
Irina Ozerkina, LondonDeliver good and affordable service so that everyone could benefit.
Neil Merrett, NottinghamPut people’s rail service back with the people.
John Richard Jones, PrestonBritish Rail had more flexibility with tickets and better value. It was better all round.
Ian Thompson, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation of the railways was a big mistake. Let’s have an unfragmented system that really works.
James Speirs, PaisleyBring the rail network back to the public for the public. No more profiteering from our service.
Alan McDonald, CowdenbeathIt’s ours. The money-makers can’t run it right. Please give it back.
Mike Devane, St NeotsAs an ex BR employee and First employee I think the railways should never have been privatised. They cost far less to run when they were BR.
John McKinnie, FleetI am thoroughly sick of the one traffic of driving all public assets into private hands. The services are then poorly run and sold back to us at shocking prices.
David Moncur, DundeeScotland. We are badly served by trains.
Glynn Smith, RotherhamIt’s plainly obvious that this is not saving the people money. Typically we pay for the upkeep while private companies profit.
Colin Naisbitt, Stockton-on-TeesPlease re-nationalise the railways.
Alison Gibney, St AlbansWe need continuous long-term investment in our rail services and the only way to achieve that is through public ownership.
