Ian Henden, FarehamA national asset, which is for every citizen’s benefit, should belong to the nation, aiming to break even.
Dave Ellis, ChristchurchRe-nationalise, scrap HS2, put that amount of money into upgrading the rest and encourage freight back onto the tracks by lowering freight charges.
W. Neville Martin, LeedsThere are in my opinion certain facilities and services that should remain nationalised, including railways, health and power supply, to name but a few.
Kathy Barnes, DurhamThis idea needs as much support as possible.
Tom Cannon, Stoke-on-TrentAs a student, I feel that, even with a railcard, rail fares are extortionately expensive and the ticketing systems with multiple vendors are far too complicated.
Bill Breakell, North YorkshirePrivatisation is not serving the needs of the nation, passengers, the economy nor the environment. We need to put our heads together and create a ‘new’ British Railways.
Shaun Pye, LeedsThen maybe we can get back to fixed fares for each route.
Kieranne Page, LondonEnough of these foreign companies making money when it should be the UK who runs the trains and has no over-pricing monopoly on the train fares. BBBR. Enough crap.
Carmen Edwards, WrexhamAnd then we can re-nationalise energy and water.
David Macklin, ColchesterThe Conservative government of John Major in 1992 did not have a mandate to privatise the railway. Tories are undemocratic.
Peter Edmunds, LiverpoolWith over 13 billion pounds going out of the country annually because of privatisation for the profits of a few shareholders, how can we not afford to re-nationalise?
Emma Kane, StockportIt would be wonderful if Britain was proud again of its rail network and led the world rather than lagged behind. The only way it works is one company i.e.. government
Paul Baker, WinsfordPrivatisation has gone too far.
David Knight, EynshamI heard about the campaign on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme 27 Aug 2016. Good luck.
Anthony Wrinch, RedhillSouthern Rail are a disgrace. Shame on the Government for letting this farce continue so long.
Ian Adams, Castle CaryBetter service for public, not all about making money.
Maureen Taft, EastbourneThe free market has not worked, so let’s get back to what did.
David Humphreys, WrexhamWhen they brought in the new Railways why have it all split up with one company owning the tracks and another the stations etc. Bring it back under public ownership.
Pete Boor, PenzanceRailways should be state-owned and a not-for-profit industry.
Steve Clarke, Milton KeynesProfits would be better used on more trains, services and tracks alongside current lines. No to HS2.
Anna Coles, CanterburyIt makes good economic and ecological sense to re-nationalise the railways.
Eddie Sheehy, EcclesWe live in a community where travel is vitally important for many reasons. The quality of the service is vital, not the profit motive only.
Arkhenatan Dot Com, SydenhamIsn’t it illegal to privatise public transport?
Gbenga Anisere, ReadingWhy take away people’s meal ticket when you can’t better their lives? Reduce rail fares and re-instate retrenched rail staff.
Mary Newman, LondonThe service run by the train companies in Britain is embarrassing. Nowhere else in the world is rail travel so prohibitively expensive.
Elaine Tavner, HolfordHoping for a fairly priced and state-owned railway system.
David Phillips, EastbourneThe sooner the better.
Colin Pottle, WellingboroughWellingborough to Shrewsbury return £128, Wellingborough to Birmingham return £53.60, Birmingham to Shrewsbury return £16.00. Now how does that work out?
Jonathan Butcher, SheffieldThe rail system in this country is a joke. Something needs to change.
Neil Pritchard, St. HelensNorthern Rail are the pits. For goodness’ sake, give our railways back to the people of Britain.
