Mike Bond, BristolLet’s get people moving on the trains at a good price. All working together. Unify our rail.
David Goodby, Welwyn Garden CityIt’s shameful that the railways were privatised. Stop profiteering and give it back to the people now.
Tom Cloughton, DarlingtonPrivatisation has lost the unique ’rounded’ service previously provided by lifelong railway workers with cross department co-operation and were ‘proud to belong’.
Chris Hoy, LeedsIt’s about re-nationalised British Rail. Run transport services for the people who use them, not the directors.
Anna Pollert, Leamington SpaRail transport is crucial infrastructure for a greener environment and should be a basic responsibility of the state, for the benefit of people, not private profit.
Peter Donaldson, ReadingWe need a properly-integrated network with one organisation responsible for track and trains and with a true public service ethos.
James Jackson, BrightonI’m sick of this investing in better trains, when every time I return from abroad, Southern say “the train from Y to X is delayed.”
Eirug Griffiths, PontardaweToo many passengers are being ripped off by hikes in rail fares which are sometimes above inflation and outdated rolling stock being used and not enough investment made.
Karen Donnelly, BradfordThey should never have been privatised. It’s been a disaster from the first. It’s about time service, maintenance and customers were put first.
Rita Lee, BarnsleyI used to love travelling by train years ago but now find I don’t because of the expense and overcrowding.
Joy Cuff, TeddingtonBring back British Rail. I can remember when the trains were run for the convenience of the passengers not the money grabbing companies running the railways now.
Janice Hutt, Whitley BayTo work properly, the railway needs to be integrated under British Rail and not be for private profit.
Tim Brewin, HerefordIt seems absolutely ridiculous to me to be in a situation where the track owners, train owners and train operators are all different companies.
Lindis Percy, HarrogateOh please, let’s hope this happens.
Christopher D’Cruze, HuddersfieldI’d rather the state earn millions in profit instead of some corporate fat cat.
Sean Kelly, LoughboroughThe current situation is out of control. Let’s use the rail service as a tool for building a future for Britain.
Jason Gilzean, HertfordshireTime to stop the rot.
Ann Welton, OrpingtonBritish Rail always provided a good service. If you got a job with them it was for life.
Trevor Newbery, BlackburnBring back fairer fares.
Ben WalshOur railways are supposed to be a public service which should be accessible to all!
Dominic Hinkins, BostonBring back nationalised railways.
Roger Andrew, New MiltonWhy are we never consulted on major changes? I detest privatisation and will fight it as much as I am able.
Suzie Woods, SheffieldPrivatisation was always a huge mistake. Let’s right the wrong now.
Julie Barson, CoventryTrain journeys are a nightmare now, whereas travelling by train used to be a pleasure.
Julie Holland, SunburyExtortionate prices, no seats and no competition. Bring back British Rail.
Bruce Rose, Haywards HeathBring it on – if every commuter in the Southeast signed this then the government would have to listen.
Thomas Renstrom, DurhamStandard text book economics tells you that private ownership of a natural monopoly is a bad idea. Train service is cheaper and better in countries with public ownership.
Kenneth Mudd, GuisboroughEast Coast mainline runs at a profit, so why not run them all?
Samuel Stevenson, NottinghamDo it for the kids.
Laurence Poole, ClevedonWe need a cheaper, fairer railway system for all. The social impact of the railways should be priority and more branch lines should be reopened.
