Paul Green, OxfordIt’s time the politicians let the railways be run by railwaymen and stop interfering in the day-to-day running of the railways.
David Woodruff, WeymouthLet’s get back a railway that we as a nation can be proud of once again.
Alan Jackson, Dalton-in-FurnessI’d prefer to travel by train but I can’t afford to. The planet can’t afford me to travel by car.
Matthew Navin, ManchesterRail for the people.
Ruth Rolfe, ElyI remember the days before privatisation. The service was definitely cheaper and, for a customer, easier to use and understand.
Paul Owenson, NottinghamSave our railway.
J De Haart, LondonWorsening services for more and more money.
David SommervilleThere are plenty of surplus ex-British Rail carriages that could be overhauled. This would represent a service improvement at minimal cost.
Richard Bell, DerbyThe private sector is responsible for some of the biggest economic health and safety disasters, whilst extorting the British public.
Gavin Monaghan, HelensburghPublic service should mean public ownership and public profit.
Leila Roberts, RiponSpend the subsidy on routes not shareholders.
Steve Jackson, WellingPlease bring back British Rail and get rid of South Eastern Trains.
Alan Campbell, BalernoRail privatisation has been a disaster except for a few company directors and other major shareholders.
John Wright, SalisburyPrivatisation is not working. Why should our railway be in the hands of foreign state-owned organisations?
Donald Watson, DurhamOnly nationalisation of our rail services can guarantee effective services and costings.
Simon CarneBring back the breakfast car for civilised travel not HS2.
Patricia Spence, ReadingBritish Rail was for customers not for shareholders.
Anthony Kelly, DerbyRailways should be run for the public as a service and not for mega profits for the rich.
Brian McCauley, ShorehamNo more.
Tony And Marjory Elliott, DurhamHow anyone could be so stupid as to privatise a successful, publicly owned company I cannot understand.
Duncan McKinnon, MotherwellReturn the InterCity.
John Davies, SwanseaThe most risky British project in decades, the rail privatisation experiment has failed catastrophically. Allow common sense to prevail and bring back British Rail!
Gerry McCartney, JohnstoneI’m keen to be involved in local transport campaigns. Please put me in touch with local union and other campaigners.
Clive Glaister, SloughRe-nationalise the railways! Proof of the pudding is East Coast Mainline. Nationalisation does and can work.
Alison Harte, KentThis might help to stop strikes.
Jim Love, MiddlesbroughBring it back.
Philip Jones, FlintBritish Rail had its faults but it was run for the benefit of great Britain not foreign conglomerates.
Raquel ThokchomRe-open closed lines and stations as well to ease traffic pollution and the loneliness and alienation so many now face.
Vincent Brierley, PeterboroughGo back to running trains at cost not for profit.
Trevor Lees, BarnsleyIt can be profitable, just like East Coast is.
