Sheila Richards, LeighBring British Rail back along with everything else we want Britain to be.
Ed Dolman, LondonThe current rail system simply doesn’t work. Children have to pay just to travel to school. Adults are forced to accept ridiculous and rising fares.
Amanda Dawes, LondonThe current rail system needs to go.
Frank Bradley,Rail privatisation has been a disaster.
Billy Perrin, CamborneAbout time.
Joe Hale, SwanseaBring back British Rail and railroad the crooks out of town.
Graham Brook, WokingI’ve been to other countries on the Continent, Germany for instance, and seen how fine their publicly owned system is in terms of price/quality, it makes me want to cry.
Alex Allardyce, LeicesterIt’s time to take back all that was stolen from the British public.
Fiona Macaulay, EdinburghIndeed – ‘Bring Back British Rail.’
Tom Freshwater, WallingfordIt just makes sense.
Jonathan Dimsdale, HarrogateObviously, you have all forgotten that British Rail was never on time, equally expensive and passengers were treated as an unnecessary nuisance.
Mike Nevill, WorthingLet’s have a railway service that serves stakeholders not shareholders.
Malcolm Martyn, ShrewsburyBuy back all that the Tories have privatised and, in no time at all, you will see costs and pricing come down considerably.
Geoff Dunbar, TorquayRestore the public service, reverse loading of costs on passengers, invest in public transport as a real national asset for everyone.
Paul BrightA reliable railway network should connect people in local towns and villages so they longer need expensive petrol driven cars.
Glen Gibb, DunbarName a privatisation that has benefited the people.
John Hoyle, KetteringLet’s get back to a rational co-ordinated transport system.
Roger Philpott, CheltenhamArriva UK’ is a subsidiary of ‘Deutsche Bahn’ and is entirely owned by the German state: So yes, the UK government does believe in nationalisation but by anyone but us.
Stephen Field, WarwickPrivatisation was just a con and a rip-off of public funds. Let’s see an end to it.
Mike Robinson, TorpointAdopt the method put forward by the unions in 2005. Re-nationalise at expiry of contracts.
Carl Nickson, LiverpoolIt’s about time people over profits was something we hear every single day in politics.
Doreen McCarthy, GatesheadI agree with what has already been said.
Rev Padma Sumananda, BournemouthIf you remember British Rail, this is a complete no-brainer – a system that worked and did not give inflated profits to incompetent private companies.
Calum Menzies, GlasgowI’m disgruntled at a system where foreign state-owned companies can profiteer from our trains, but our government can’t operate a nationalised service.
Yan Yates, MiddlesbroughIt’s been over-priced for far too long. People should not be financially punished for not booking early.
Diana Harman, Bexhill-on-SeaI’m fed up with poor service and rising costs.
Patricia Ekins, SheffieldJust bring British Rail back.
Jonathan Brown, LondonAside from the economic case, there is something incredibly romantic about travelling on a railway system that is collectively owned by every British citizen.
Aaron Smith, EastbourneI can no longer afford to travel by train – thanks Tories. Meanwhile billionaires like Branson get tax payers’ bailouts. Not a travel network but a money laundering scheme.
Robert Goodman, LeedsPublic ownership proves it can work, run correctly.
