Graham Henderson, BordonRail fares should be going back into the infrastructure and not to shareholders and the bosses of the multiple companies make up our railway.
Derrick Marr, SouthendPrivatisation has failed. Re-nationalisation is long overdue.
Keith Bevan, BristolI think British Rail should be re-nationalised and kept in public ownership, not for profit of the profiteers.
Stephen Clutterbuck, Upton-upon-SevernPlease bring back British Rail, as it is getting absolutely expensive now to go by train. The companies are putting the prices up and the railways are not up to scratch.
Susan Nutt, BlandfordBring back a nationalised rail system. If private companies can make money, so can a nationalised system.
Sueton Sayers, WolverhamptonThere are far too many different companies operating the railways. It’s far too complicated.
Glyn Morgan, LiverpoolWe currently subsidise the rail network more heavily than we did when we owned it yet they still make a profit. That’s our money and it should be re-invested.
Stephen Helm, PontelandEast Coast Rail have shown that publicly-owned is better than privately-owned, for customers and taxpayers.
John Lucas, Middleton-On-SeaSouthern’s ongoing failure to provide a reliable service is deplorable. It’s clear the government don’t care about the travelling public and are happy to fund our misery.
Chris Winfield, NottinghamThe people who used to knock British Rail aren’t knocking any more are they?
Nancy Sands, LondonI’m fed up with shareholders getting our hard-earned money, whilst we subsidise the train companies anyway.
Steve Nation, CambridgePassengers before profit.
Martin Ruddy, MansfieldRail privatisation is another example of the woolly-minded, neo-liberal economics which are ruining this country and the rest of the world.
Gail Fraser, AndoverToo many companies raking in the profit with no though for passengers.
Robert Edge, AshfordPut it back where it belongs and that’s in the public hands not private.
Dom Sellars, ElyPaying almost £9 every day to go to college is simply ridiculous.
Patricia O’Donnell, HarrogateWe need a re-unified national railway which is run for the people. We need to get rid of privatisation.
John Lowe, OxfordBring back British Rail and get rid of all the TOCs and bring it under one umbrella.
Paul Craft, New RomneyStop selling off our national assets for a quick pound to balance the books. Bring back British Rail.
William Ball, MorecambeBring back sanity. Ignore private profits and look after passengers.
James Gibson, IrvineVital services like NHS, power, trains etc. should be run for the people they serve not for vast profit or obscene bonuses for directors.
Kenneth Raistrick, ManchesterWith prices far higher in the UK than in the rest of Europe, bringing back BR is one of the best things to do. The railway should be for people, not shareholders’ profits.
Dennis O`Connell, BurnhamPut it back in our hands, not the shareholders’.
Huw Jones, FavershamReverse the Tory money-grabbing agenda.
Neil Tattersall, YorkPrivatisation clearly doesn’t work.
Mike Machin, SouthamptonPassenger train operation should be for the benefit of travellers – not shareholders. And a unified InterCity could offer seamless integrated long-distance services again.
John Cant, EdinburghOur railways are a huge national asset and should be run to minimise road and air use and promote other social and environmental benefits, not run for profit.
Jane Rees, ColchesterI heartily agree that we should bring back British Rail to run the railways for the people and not for private profit.
Helen Edwards, StaffordBring back one system.
Joan Young, Newcastle-upon-TyneI support the re-nationalisation of railways as an intelligent transport policy.
