Paul Nash, LondonBring back British Rail.
Steve Goodman, WellingboroughRe-nationalise not just the railways, but the electricity, gas and water suppliers as well.
Trevor Walden, SouthamptonI did an apprenticeship at Wolverton Works in the days of Dual-Heating. 97 trades. I’m a rail modeller, and steam fan.
Robert Coleman, LiverpoolLet’s do it now.
Teresa White, FlitwickMy daughter commutes to London daily. She pays almost £1000 a month to stand, herded like cattle. Privatisation means profit first, people second. Wake up Britain.
Martin Putt, South PethertonI back nationalised rail services as I am a passenger who has experienced high ticket prices, uncomfortable seating and delays many times.
Heather Maggs, BedfordEvery privatisation of national assets in this country has been an unmitigated disaster for British consumers and taxpayers. We need new, sustainable ways of thinking.
Simon Tinney, BasildonPublic transport is a rip off.
Mauro Bonventre, DidcotBR all the way for me, just because it should be a national institution for the people of Britain and not for profit even though I am a pro business person.
David Pinder, RotherhamThe current private-run rail system is absurd and makes no sense. Let’s bring railways back into one public company.
John Dalby, Leigh-on-SeaIt was the worst decision ever to privatise railways, just to make money for the few while giving passengers the worst service.
Jake Eiseman-Renyard, LondonPrivatisation is really backward. Our rail network has gone down the toilet, all in the name of private profits. Change it.
Joseph Pitchford, HarrogateI bought my train ticket for my regular commute. However, I accidentally bought it for the next day and was then tricked into giving my details for a £100 fine.
Tim Lander, WorthingBritish Rail was one of the things that put the Great in Great Britain. There’s not many things left that do.
Les Atkinson, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe have had enough of incompetent fat cats ruining our rail infrastructure.
Andrew Mclean-Reid, SherfieldThe railway is a service, not a business. It enables business, so should be viewed as a means to an end, not run as the end itself.
Shaun Rogan, EnfieldPublic transport, publicly owned.
John Birbeck, YorkWhat a mess.
Jim Dodds, Newton AycliffeUK private enterprise failed the motor industry, steel and chemicals – now all successful in foreign ownership with British workers. We deserve to own our railways.
James Nicholson, CamelfordIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Kane Parsons, RipleyPrivatisation has failed.
Mark Mayo, LondonPublic transport for public good rather than private greed.
Matthew Wright, SouthamptonI’m tried and fed up of having to pay money to stand up and get crushed against a door or seat. The British Rail Network is on the bring of collapse, we need our rail back
Josephine Curtin, SheffieldPrivatisation has been a disaster for the public and great for shareholders and big business. Put profits back into infrastructure and give us a better service.
Ian Harvey, NorwichThe Norwich to London service is appalling under a privatised system. Old rolling stock, high fares and dreadful timing and timekeeping.
Maggie Cooke, LondonThis is ridiculous – the rich get richer at the poor’s expense.
Stephen Russell, PeterboroughRail was a privatisation too far.
Chris Hayden, Milton KeynesI believe that the railway should be owned by the country and government run.
J Winton, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe East Coast rail line has been in public ownership since private operators pulled out. It is now in profit.
Mick Barry, BrightlingseaEast Coast sell off is a disgrace. We need more public ownership, not less ideologically driven profiteering.
