Anne Keighley, ManchesterBring it back now.
Paul Simonite, WickBR was best.
David And Sonia Crow, BedfordRail travel should return to being owned by the people of the UK.
Irina Ozerkina, LondonDeliver good and affordable service so that everyone could benefit.
Danny Kearney, LondonHalf empty first class seats, standing only on certain routes with above inflation ticket prices. Compare East Coast financial figures with franchises. No contest.
Nick Crago, HarlingtonLet’s see a return for trains being run as a customer service and not for private profit.
Ahmed Desai, LondonA new British Rail is a commonsense approach for a greener transport system for the UK.
Kevan Ogden, Chester-le-StreetPlease explain to me how sucking profits from previously nationalised businesses make them work better? The lessons of 70s have been learned. Reunite trains with the tracks.
Nikhil Reji, PrestonWhile prices rocket, the train service quality is getting lower and lower. UK needs to look at other countries’ train services.
David Yewdall, BlackpoolRe-nationalise the railway and get rid of the gangsters who run it for their shareholders. Let’s get DB to run it. After all that is the German government, not shareholders.
David Palmer, NewburyPlease re-nationalise the railways.
Chris Cooper, WorcesterRe-nationalise the railways.
Lynda Woodroffe, LondonThe railways have got worse and worse and more and more expensive under privatisation. It should never have been put on the market.
Stephanie Dearden, LondonStop selling our services to Germany and Holland. They wouldn’t like it if we interfered with their railways.
Gregory Collett, LowestoftRailways are a social essential not a cash cow for foreign shareholders or vulture capitalists.
Matthew Jason Brown, CleethorpesBritish Rail was a fine institution. With the issues over high ticket prices and a rail network needing investment, the only way forward is to re-nationalise the industry.
Peter Kimble, LutonPut people above profits. We were once known around the world for having a great rail service. Stop selling the people’s property.
Steve Higgins, LeedsI support Caroline Lucas’s proposal to take each rail component back into public ownership as franchises finish. East Coast shows how much better it would be.
Can Gencer, TwickenhamI’m disgruntled with a sub-par train service.
Wilson Newbould, LivingstonThis is another example of politicians giving individuals increased power and influence to the unelected. Why?
Philip Feakin, LondonWe need a railway that is run for the benefit of the people not a few multi millionaires.
Rafy Hay, LondonThis campaign needs to show the press and politicians that re-nationalisation still has mass support.
Mark Parsons, BristolSave the planet. Give us a better public transport system.
Joe Meredith, RiscaPublic ownership is in the people’s best interest to have a system that everyone can depend on.
John Selby, LondonI’m fed up with the mess of franchises that all seem to rip us off.
Louise Mieszkian, CambridgeWe need an efficient and more extensive rail network comparable to fellow European countries.
Tim Gomersall, LeedsTime to end this profiteering. Free markets are proving themselves an unsuitable way to run basic public infrastructure, as one would expect when the market is captive.
Steve Cobb, AshfordTime for a change. Commuters have increasingly been mugged off by the rail companies and Network Rail for too long.
Darren McNiven, WorthingI travel by train a lot and it is very expensive now, I can remember the early ’90s train prices were fair. I think we should bring back British Rail.
David Pointon, Scholar GreenRail services are only marginally better than when the line opened.
