Ross Dobson, LondonTime to get Britain’s trains back on track.
Terry McCann, WorthingThe transport of people around our country is a public service, not a profit opportunity for the benefit of fat-cats.
Laken Walker, HerefordIt was better when British Railways ran the system. The liveries and prices were great. The government should listen to the people and not the franchisees.
Deborah Lee, Weston-super-MareThe evidence speaks for itself and the public and taxpayer would reap the benefits.
Tim Baker, West BridgfordEnough is enough. As a regular user of trains who experiences the ridiculous pricing, it’s time to get some standardising back to this public service.
John Rowley, HullJust get it done.
Lucy Renton, LondonThe train service in this country is vastly overpriced, ticketing system labyrinthine, and not fit for purpose.
James Ward, ManchesterTrain stations and train lines – no thank you. Railway stations and railway lines – yes please.
Jonathan Dimsdale, HarrogateObviously, you have all forgotten that British Rail was never on time, equally expensive and passengers were treated as an unnecessary nuisance.
Phil Wall, PontypriddThe poorest suffer; the richest grow richer.
Joseph Wasnock, Welwyn Garden CityEconomy class is always absolutely packed.
Jamie Bramwell, CheshireThatcher sold off most of the country now Cameron wishes to complete her mission!
Christopher Main, LanarkshireThe current system is a joke. The services don’t join up, leaving an inconsistent customer experience and expensive tickets. Get it together!
William LoneskieThere are still many good men and women throughout Britain who will place country before profit.
Susan Tideswell, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.Even my father, with very right-wing sympathies, and who worked for BR, thought the privatisation was stupid.
Kay Buckley, HuddersfieldBritish Rail should have remained in the public sector because the mayhem caused by ad hoc privatisation has wasted billions and upset so many people.
Rosie Dee, BristolWe as a population have paid for these public institutions. How dare our elected government decide to sell it all off.
Philippe Close, BrixtonCommon Sense.
Anthony Bartolo, Gillingham, KentStop wasting everyone’s money and just go back to British Rail. You know it makes sense!
Paul Hutchins, ExeterStriving to make Britain Great again.
Paul Kirk, Pool-in-WharfedaleEnd the waste that is privatisation.
David Sterratt, EdinburghBR cost taxpayers about a third of what the privatised railway does now and was cheaper for passengers too. Nationalise franchises when they expire for greater efficiency.
David Dowker, BradfordRail is a service, not a profit source for the rich.
Birgit Cunningham, LondonWe are sick to death of the line ‘That is another company’.
Ed Pat, St HelensPassengers, not profit.
Sue Kirk, CaernarfonIt’s long overdue.
Mandie Walton, DumbartonI joined after privatisation but I still wish it was back to British Rail.
Ian Roberts, TelfordBring the railways back under state control and provide a better service to passengers.
Dean Mander, King’s LynnGreat campaign. How I long for a rational national transport system that is not driven by a free market ideology but by forward thinking policies that put the planet first.
M Smith, LeedsWhy should we give billions to companies to run railways when we can own it and make a profit for the nation.
