Susan Wright, BrightonGood idea.
Alan Clare, BostonBring it back to the people.
Claudia Bultman, GravesendWe are fed up with all these fat cats which are lining their pockets with lots of money. Let the people run the railways and you will see the improvements they bring.
Osvalds Zarins, BicesterThe current railway system is a complete rip-off. I’m not paying the same as my week’s rent just to get to the airport.
John Gilfillan, LeedsThe last 20 years have seen the taxpayers’ pounds drained into shareholders’ pockets and fares rise disgracefully. Profit is not the only motive; service enriches us better.
Dean Arent, NorwichThe party is over. We’ve had enough.
Robert Birch, BromsgroveAs an ex-BR employee, it breaks my heart to see the state of the privatised rail network. Back to public ownership as soon as possible.
Ben Illis, BrightonA return to the days of a national service run not for profit. If only.
David Knibb Ba, WarringtonI feel that all major transport in the UK should be publicly owned, especially when the private owners have proved so incompetent.
Thomas McCormack, EcclesRe-nationalise the utilities too.
Anne Hayes, ChesterfieldHiking prices up is wrong and especially in view of the fiasco at Kings Cross Station this year. What a mess.
Ronald Copeland, BrighouseI support the return of BR.
Leigh Pankhurst, NorwichPrivatising the rail network was the most stupid idea ever. It is now taught on the continent in economic degrees as an example of gross mismanagement.
Yasmin Keyani , NorwichI love using the trains, but privatisation has made it a nightmare. The expense, the constant late or cancelled trains, the absolute lack of care for passengers.
Louise Devlin, GlasgowOverpriced, late, with intimidating staff at ScotRail. One bad apple rots the whole cart.
Nick Avins, LeekYes, I fully support the return of BR and turning away from the great corporate mess we now have on our railways.
Gus Cummins, BristolFor goodness’ sake nationalise the railway, subsidise it, make it affordable and reduce air pollution. Thank you.
Chris Sullivan, DartfordTrains are delayed every day and we are just supposed to accept it. At work I get 10 minutes to not be classed as late but a train has to be 30 minutes late for a refund.
Gary Tallant, LiversedgeBillions wasted in annual share dividends which could be used to improve rail service.
David Stower, WatfordBring Back the system that worked, get rid of these private companies who are bleeding the travelling public dry.
Anthony Ryan, HullPrivatisation equals poor service and higher prices.
Andrew Hopkins, LeicesterBad service, price rises and no improvements after price rises. Need I say more? Re-nationalise the railways immediately.
Jason Richards, DoncasterIf the fares continue to increase then I will not be able to afford my season ticket, which threatens my employment.
Diane Wilson, HydeDefinitely bring back British Rail and soon before it’s all sold. It belongs to the people.
Anna Coles, CanterburyIt makes good economic and ecological sense to re-nationalise the railways.
Susan Black, YorkPlease respect what the ordinary rail-using public are saying.
Tracey Brown, BrightonI have been stranded way too much. It was way better with British Rail. It really needs to stop now.
David Bonner, HarrowTwenty years of private incompetence. It’s time to re-nationalise.
Eleanor Milton, Newcastle-upon-TyneAll of our services should be nationalised, owned by the people for the people. Private companies should not be making profits from our utilities or transport.
Linda Harte, BourneIf the right (qualified but not greedy) staff at the top were to be appointed, we the British public could have a well run, efficient, and affordable train service.
