Teresa Marshall, GatesheadI wish to join the growing number of people who want to make our train service unified.
John Taylor, IlkestonServices for people, not profits. No super railway – upgrade the existing one.
Jim Aird, EdinburghBR should not have been privatised in the first place.
Josh Cluderay, LondonHow about being able to travel across the country for less than it costs to fly to another country entirely?
David Sutherland, MontroseBring back British Rail so that the service is first and foremost for the people, not primarily for private economic profit.
Edwin Wilson, UlverstonThe cost of rail travel is too high.
Sarah Gregson, OxfordWhy are we subsidising a rail network so that private companies make a profit?
Jill Vogler, LeedsI would very much support Caroline Lucas MP’s private member’s bill for each part of the railway to be brought back into public ownership as its franchise expires.
Wendy Bower, SheffieldThis is long overdue. Rail should be a service for people, not businesses.
William Clark, BrandonBring it back.
Robert Bailey, BristolIt’s a long time coming.
Mick Rix, NorthumberlandHow can they take away what is rightfully ours in the first place? It’s the same with everything else that has been sold off.
Richard Lewis, SheffieldPlease put Britain’s railways back to when we had the most efficient railways in Europe, i.e. when they were state run, like the majority of European ones are now.
Austin Pacitto, LondonImmediate re-nationalisaton of BR. Fairer fares, standard prices and no large payouts to fat cats.
Oscar Speed, NottinghamRe-nationalise.
Nigel McAdam, ManchesterPublic service not private profit. It’s that simple.
Leslie Plumb, LeedsLet’s get back to a joined up railway please.
Simon Haigh, YorkBring back sensible prices that don’t change the nearer you get to the date of departure.
Stephen Burrows, ManchesterRe-nationalise now.
Kerry Brown, SevenoaksNo arguments left for privatisation. Consumers continuously suffer for corporate profits.
Eileen Brown, CoventryWe need an integrated passenger-based service, not several private customer-based businesses. I use Amtrak in USA and it beats the pants off our railway system.
Rhona Wyer, Upper BangorI’m sick of paying all these backroom boys for being incompetent with their franchise biddings. Let’s have more money spent locally employing people in our stations.
H Christine Allott, ExeterYou know it makes sense.
Susan St John, LondonGive rail travel back to the passengers who use and need it. There’s enough gravy trains out there already.
Barathan Kulothungan, ChelmsfordThe legacy of British Rail privatisation stands as a testament to systemic failure, marked by rising fares and declining service quality.
Kenny Brown, Fort WilliamPublic transport should be in public hands.
Anthony Davis, LondonI daily use trains and the prices keep going up and up and the service getting worse and worse. This should be non-profit and the government should be at the helm.
Anne Hayes, ChesterfieldHiking prices up is wrong and especially in view of the fiasco at Kings Cross Station this year. What a mess.
David Brackley, HarrogateMost of Europe’s governments subsidise their rail networks. Why not Britain?
