Mark Keeping, ReadingMore failed Tory dogma. This failed experiment has cost us all dearly.
Ken Shillito, BarnsleyIf the government had pumped the same amount of money into British Rail that it has into the private sector then I’m sure we would have a much better rail system now.
Stuart Armstrong, HaslemereYes, get these corporate scumbags out of our lives.
Caroline Schmutz, LondonFor an affordable and integrated public transport network.
Jessica Gale, NottinghamThis is our railway. It should be run as a service and not profit going into private hands.
Eve Luddington, Chapel AllertonThe first priority for private companies is their shareholders who want a profit. Nationalise the railways and make them profitable for tax-payers.
Thomas Ingall, Bury St EdmundsBecause I believe the basics in modern life should be state-owned and run for the good of the people, not profit for the rich.
David Abbott, FranceIf only Miliband had some guts and re-nationalised the whole shebang of former public industries.
Dean Mander, King’s LynnGreat campaign. How I long for a rational national transport system that is not driven by a free market ideology but by forward thinking policies that put the planet first.
Dan Gifford, MachynllethGerman rail allows two 48 hour stop-overs within one long distance ticket. I don’t think that could happen with the complexity of our rail system, and theirs is cheaper.
Peter SleggBefore privatisation, British Rail was the second most efficient rail service in the world, second only to Japan.
Thomas CoyleLet’s build and test trains in the UK, it’ll be good for economy!
Adam Shelley, Tunbridge WellsRail companies have under-invested for far too long.
Sasha Timofeev, CambridgeI desperately need the transport to be fixed. It’s a shame we lag so far behind other countries given our position in the world.
Andy Gordon, SheffieldPeople not profit.
Martin Bell, ChesterfieldYes. Yes. Yes.
Richard King, BristolThis privatisation experiment has failed. The East Coast Line ran at a vast profit when in government hands but not when previously run privately. It’s time for British Rail.
Susanne Birks, SheffieldThe railways should be run as a public service and profits should be for improvements and reinvestment, not shareholders.
Matt Haskins, LondonA state-owned rail network now.
Maurice Spurway, ExeterWe need to bring back our assets into public ownership, starting with our Railway.
Alan Gowar, BrightonBring back BR.
Kieran Wardle, LondonI believe that infrastructure vital to a nation should be owned and run by (and for) that nation, not for private profit.
David Cook, Newcastle-upon-TyneFar too many cost centres in what was always a crazy privatisation.
Steve Tolton, HockleyI would like to see our railways supported more effectively by our government to reflect the critical role railways play economically and socially.
Pat Vincent, Milton KeynesThe taxpayer is paying through the nose to give greedy individuals a huge profit. Re-nationalize a public service that should never have been sold off in the first place.
Janine Gallagher, HuddersfieldWe need to take back control of our railways, so we get cheaper rail fares and better service.
Oliver Laraman, WhitstableScrew the overpriced fares! We need re-nationalisation now.
Sandra Brierley, ManchesterWe need to stop giving money to the private sector. They are rich enough.
Daniel York, LondonYear on year out we get fleeced. Enough is enough.
