Michael Young, LondonPrivatisation hasn’t worked for the national good.
Pat Ferguson, NottinghamBring Back British Rail now.
Relsov Obshtestven, Sofia, BulgariaWe support you 100%. In Bulgaria government wants to sell our railways too and systematically to ruin our Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ).
Carol Wilson, Saffron WaldenLet’s have a government with common sense. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently so.
Ann Welton, OrpingtonBritish Rail always provided a good service. If you got a job with them it was for life.
James Forber, WarringtonEnd this madness! Make train prices fair.
Michael Crawford, Wotton-under-EdgeThere wasn’t much wrong with British Rail that could not have been fixed. Privatisation for passenger rail operations was not the answer to the problems BR had.
James WoodmanWe all agree that the present form of disjointed, inefficient ‘rip-off railways’ cannot be sustained.
Gordon Hay, SandiacreAre our trains better or cheaper now? Not at all. The pricing policy is a joke.
Barry Buttigieg, LondonWe need a co-operative, not-for-profit railway with no shareholders and lower prices.
Jason Bale, MaidenheadAs long as the profits made go back into the railways and not wasted.
Sandra Salmons, WestburyI cannot see that privatisation has had any benefits for the travelling public, only to the heads of the companies who now draw off the profits.
Eric Gillespie, MorpethWhere franchise owners, like the previous East Coast holder, fail, and a government team takes over, then runs it well and profitably, it should remain in public ownership.
John Wilson, TelfordThis is a Human Rights issue as our taxes are still subsidising the private corporations. Please support https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/bill-of-rights too.
Andy Cordwell, BiggleswadeIt may have had its faults but BR was more economical about funding.
Ray Clarke, WrexhamLets plough the profits back into a decent rail system instead of making the filthy rich even richer.
Matt Harradine, BristolServices don’t need to make money. They are what you spend money on.
Jon Cotton, SheffieldThank you so much for setting up this website, and trying to do something about the expensive mess that is today’s rail system in Britain. I will support you all the way.
Stuart Niblo, ExmouthBritish Rail.
Stewart Legg, PortsmouthToday the Tories are at it again, this time with the Post Office. The Labour Party needs to state that it will re-nationalise the railways and the Post Office.
Michael Dawson, South ShieldsLike all things that work better as a monopoly, it should be under common ownership.
Anthony Duggan, BromleyNetwork Rail cannot run trains or do any engineering so I’m not quite sure what they do.
Sarah Linton, RochesterIf it ain’t broke don’t mend it.
Sue Revell, BathGovernment subsidies should be used to update infrastructure and not to line shareholders’ pockets. Also, keep it British.
David White, NewarkEast Coast mainline is owned by the government and makes a profit. Bring back public ownership for all our railways.
Lauretta Pearson, HinckleyThere are others we need to bring back too, but his would be a big move in the right direction.
Martin Bell, ChesterfieldYes. Yes. Yes.
Kenny Brown, Fort WilliamPublic transport should be in public hands.
Samuel Hawthorne, RamsgateA great rail system was destroyed by privatisation.
Ronald Makcrow, Wicklewood, NorfolkPrivatisation over the years has proven itself to be just one almighty get-rich scheme for those that want to play trains. Support sanity – Bring back British Rail.
