Alex Gordon, BristolYou know it makes sense.
Phil Robinson, LancashireI’m sick of paying through the nose to be transported like cattle!
Dee Kennedy, PeterheadService has gone downhill continuously and now can’t even be called a service.
Elizabeth Taylor, GuisboroughIt’s a good idea as long as the prices are low and it is run properly.
Merry Cross, ReadingTake it back from companies by asset stripping – just as they would!
Godfrey Nyandoro, LeedsThe parcelling out of essential services to the private sector should have never been allowed in the first place. The shareholder has one thing and one thing only – profit.
Robert Poynter, LondonPrivatisation has ruined UK rail services.
Robert Morris, UttoxeterAfter travelling to many European countries and using their train systems it is easy to see what we must do to fix our horrendous train service in the U.K.
David Turner, Market HarboroughRail network is far too important in a tiny, packed country like ours to be left in private hands.
Maggie Gallimore, NottinghamJust give it back, please.
Christine & Vic Taylor, NottinghamBring back BR, and just manage it properly – you don’t need private firms for that.
Issa Norton, WellingboroughWe need a more efficient, cost-effective service, and bringing back British Rail could do it.
Simon Barlow, CheltenhamBetter rail travel is integral to economic growth and reducing the impact on the environment. Only publicly owned, publicly run will achieve this, not a profit-led company.
Michael Greenwood, BraintreeIf it improves service then I’m happy.
Howard Berry, Old HatfieldBetter service for the whole public, not bigger profits for private shareholders.
Ian Brown, CheadleThey should never have been privatised. Public transport should be a public service, for the benefit of the passengers, not for the subsidised profit of a few shareholders.
Matthew Callaghan, CaerleonThere is only one way to make the railways cost effective – re-nationalisation!
David Leonard, YorkEast Coast is a perfect example of state-owned railway company. Excellent service.
Anthony Frewin, St AlbansPrivatisation of the railways was ideology triumphing over common sense.
Robert Brook, DunstableThis makes sense.
Roberta King, St LeonardsThis service should not be given to profiteers.
Paul Beard, Bovey TraceyIt’s about time there was a unified railway for the people once more.
Mark Grocott, FlintBring it back. It should not have been sold off in the first place so that fat cats could get rich.
Mark Parsons, BristolSave the planet. Give us a better public transport system.
Roy Davis, CaerphillyThe rail network has become a cash cow for multi-national corporations. Any profits should be spent on improving the infrastructure.
Les Lazell, PeterboroughIt’s our railway and should not be for private profit.
Mike Falchikov, EdinburghTotal re-nationalisation is probably unfeasible. Infrastructure (Railtrack) should be publicly-owned.
Roger Kojan, LeedsA good idea. East Coast main line has been better in public ownership.
June Sutherby, PocklingtonPrivatisation for profit is obscene, selfish, greedy and undemocratic.
Veronica Ballan, AlnwickSuch a service should be run for the people and not private profit.
