Richard Lowe, LeedsBring back a decent rail network.
Rob Fleay, DerbyshireAll this cheap tickets marketing spin is an illusion.
Ali Ali, LondonBring back public railways.
Kester Ratcliff, BristolLet all future public investment in trains and railways be a retained mutual equity stake, with a six month notice to exit, withdraw public shares and move on if not satisfied.
Glyn Thompson, Appleby-In-WestmorlandIt is time to end the rip-off of privatisation and return former state assets to their rightful owners.
Paul Sinclair, BaldockThe current system just gives profits to private companies instead of the state.
Neal Deakins, LouthUK railways are in total meltdown. Bring back British Rail, please.
Alan Bowers, LiverpoolTrains for people not for profit.
Peter Wright, BarnsleyJust for once, admit that privatisation hasn’t worked. It’s costing more in subsidies now than it ever did when it was nationalised.
Janus Polenceusz, RotherhamGet rid of privatisation and bring back the classic British Rail for the UK. How comes Scotland has ScotRail? In England we should also have English Rail.
Kitty Grove-Stephensen, MiddlesbroughIt ain’t broke – don’t fix it.
Steven Thomas, HolyheadThey never should have been sold off any way.
Denis Tweedy, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe bitched about the sandwiches at the time but my goodness do we miss a fully integrated affordable system?
Darren Sumner, NewportBring back British Rail and start re-nationalisation.
Peter Read, WatfordRidiculous state of affairs re price of tickets etc.
Rich Mottershaw, CheshireEventually the powers that be will see sense and they will bring back British Rail, an organisation we can all be proud of.
Carol Cooke, New MillsBring back a nationalised rail service.
Valerie Hoodless, HullAny profits made by putting it in public hands could then be ploughed back into the rail system to provide a better service and not into private people’s pockets.
Steve Soar, BirkenheadRail fares are massively overpriced because the primary concern is to pay more and more dividends to shareholders and executives.
Felicity Whyte, Shoreham by SeaGot to be less rubbish.
Marko Kovacevic, LondonNationalising is pretty much the only way of making sure prices are kept low and protected from sharp rises.
Chris Gill, LondonI’m not a customer, I’m a passenger.
Raymond Harris, DunstablePrivate rail companies show us just how good BR was on a quarter of the subsidy. BR’s problem-no kickbacks to Tories
June Finnie, GlasgowAdmit defeat and put it back together.
Michael Rowland-Hill, OrpingtonBritish Rail means getting there on time and at a fair price. Bring back what should never have gone.
David Lienard, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation is a capitalist threat to democracy.
Alan Lyddiard, Newcastle-upon-TyneFor the people by the people.
Elisabeth Winkler, BristolThese are our trains and we need them. No one should be making vast profits at our expense. Also we need a unified network not a segmented one.
Ken Howe, HexhamIf the East Coast mainline can make money for the government, so can all the others.
David Holmes, LeedsPrivatisation does not work. Private companies have failed badly in most aspects of railway activity, including the decimation of the UK’s rolling stock manufacturers.
