Jill Lepper, StagsdenI totally agree that we need a consolidated British Rail again run for passengers not private profit.
John Hinchliffe, LeedsMy dad was always an instinctive Tory, but the rush to privatisation in the 80s onwards turned him Labour but not quite as far left as me. I would nationalise all public services.
S J Smith, ReadingPrivatisation has never ever made anything better or cheaper. Re-unify.
Jordan Muscott, BristolThe cost of the trains in Britain compared to the rest of Europe is an absolute disgrace. Its obvious that privatisation hasn’t helped the service at all.
Simon Cutts, SheffieldThe railways should be run for the benefit of passengers and not shareholders.
Sue Vincent, LondonPeople before profit. Democratic control for essential services.
Douglas Holmes, WallaseyErnie Marples was the Wallasey MP (Tory) was the man who gave Beeching the job of destroying the railway system many years ago. I’m glad to say that we no longer have him.
Ian Brown, BelperMost countries have state-owned railways that work well. Britain should return to that method again. Passengers should come first.
William McKay, KetteringWe need a rail system that puts people before profit.
Sarah Haworth, DevonBy the people for the people.
Ed Jasion, LondonBring back British rail. Stop robbing the British public.
Erica Flint, EgremontI want the integrated functioning system we used to have, at affordable prices and employing porters, line gangs, cleaners etc. – all the jobs there used to be.
David Elford Johnson, TelfordYes, take it all back, but don’t spoil it by outlandish claims when we do.
Mark Gough, WakefieldWhy privatise profits? East Coast mainline proves the point.
Lauren Godfrey, BrightonRail reform is economic reform for the UK.
Michael Johnson, GuisboroughCan we have the power and water companies back as well please? They were privatised without our permission and are ripping us off also.
Leigh Stenson, Stockton-on-TeesRailways are a public service and, as such, should be publicly owned.
Philip Joyce, DundeeSelling British Rail was a crime against the people of Britain. Re-nationalise this vital service now for the benefit of the whole nation, not just some fat cats.
Joanne Royston, LondonI’m being priced out by season ticket fares, and am on a three year pay freeze.
Glyn Morrow, YorkThe selling off of British Rail was a cynical disaster on a par with Beeching’s disastrous decimation of our rail network in the Sixties.
John Tait, HarrowStop the Business Critical Rules programme.
A Donakey, DevonI have put up with appalling service for the last few years on my commute. Shame on these private companies putting profit before passengers.
Richard Barton, SouthamptonIt just needs to be done.
Tessa George, LewesDecision-makers should bow to evidence, not ideology.
Colin Carpenter, BedfordWe need to unify the railways again to make them much cheaper for us to use, so we need British Railways back again.
Mandi Riseman, St. AlbansBring it back.
Dexter Dennis, ChalkwallThe new timetable does not work.
Jason Pak, LondonI would like to support the cause to bring back British Rail and re-nationalise the UK rail system.
Justin Bailey, GuildfordSouth West Trains are a joke, as are many other corporations I’m sure! Bring back the rail system that we were once proud to call our own.
Jo Vallance, NottinghamGood luck with this campaign.
