Alexander Naughton, EdinburghBritain needs public industry.
Philip Nevins, Newcastle-upon-TyneI’m an East Coast disgruntled rail passenger.
Peter Hannifan, BournemouthAn innovative transport system built with the shovels, barrows and early graves of our Victorian forefathers – today’s capitalist corporation is an insult to their memory.
Chris Fry, KidlingtonBring back British Rail. We need a national rail service as the private companies have made a complete mess of things.
Edward Turvey, Westcliff-on-SeaThe railways of this country have degenerated into a private, profit-driven mess. The franchisees do not care about passengers, only profit. Bring back British Rail.
Luis Galindo, BrightonDo not share details with third parties.
Gillian Anson, LetchworthI remember the days of British Rail and would like to see them return.
Danielle Warman, WatfordEvery single day the train is delayed, every single day I don’t get a seat. For £3000 a year, I expect better. I absolutely hate London Midland. They have failed.
Simon Gee, CoventryEnough is enough. Rail users first.
Barbara Stewart, ColchesterBritain deserves a decent, homogenous rail network. Bring back British Rail.
Michal Benzinski, StroudA disastrous policy implemented for reasons of dogma. Our country needs a proper transport system, not a way of enriching private investors at our expense.
Denise Scott, Newcastle-upon-TynePublic transportation should be nationalised.
Suzanne Hart, Royal Tunbridge WellsEnough of this obfuscated mess.
Patrick O’Connor, CanterburyThe current arrangements do not in any way constitute a ‘joined-up’ system which works properly.
Douglas Jerry, CramlingtonRe-nationalisation is the best way to solve the problem of soaring rail prices and poor service levels. Remove the profit-orientated approach and provide a superb service.
David Tipp, LondonBetter commuter trains to the south coast
Danny Elliott, LincolnThe number of reasons for having an efficient, clean and reliable Rail Network are vast and numerous, yet since privatisation the Network has been anything but.
Helena Richards, AllantonThe best railways are the state-owned ones. Why let private companies take the money which could be going to back into the Treasury?
Steve Watters, BristolBring back British Rail.
Paul Rathbone, LondonNo-brainer.
Alasdair Lumsden, LondonYes, bring it back.
Alasdair Burman, SkiptonEast Coast livery dull. Bring back GNER livery.
Christine Beveridge, LochgellyBring it on – as soon as possible.
Jenny Toal, CoalvilleTrain travel in Britain is the embarrassment of Europe and we deserve better service and better value if we are to help to cut car emissions by taking the train.
Mr. R. J. Aston, Thurgarton, NottinghamshireSome rail fares are now just ridiculous and the profits being extracted by management companies should be kept by the people.
Benjamin Harper, Stoke-on-TrentI’m sick of being charged extortionate prices by rip-off merchants who monopolise the rail way.
William Hall, HatfieldPrivatise rail companies put profits ahead of passengers and continue to offer the travelling public a third rate service.
Zoe Hunter, ChesterfieldIt’s useless under privatisation.
Simon Aves, EdinburghThe best part of the rail service these days is East Coast. Stop the privatisation, learn from the lesson of this publicly owned company.
James Fibbens, LondonIt’s unlikely to happen, but good luck anyway.
