Bryn Glover, HarrogateMiliband must be blind not to see what a popular declaration it would be to declare now for the re-nationalisation of all transport.
Margaret Crawford, BrightonI am sick of paying high prices for tickets to use the terrible services of the rail companies.
Hayley Lynch, LutonFor many reasons, public safety being one of them, the trains should come back to their rightful home – the public sector.
Linda Ferguson, Newcastle-upon-TyneAt least transport and the NHS should be re-nationalised.
Peter Harding, SleafordI’m a long-time supporter and user of East Coast trains. It was a brilliant company. It’s time the whole network was out of private hands.
Jackie Stevens, CoventryIt just makes sense.
Lee Featherstone, CroydonI grew up in rural Kent in the 80’s and became a commuter to Central London. The trains were old but the service under BR was reliable- Now is a disgrace.
Ben Smith, PontypriddBring back British Rail. Not for profit and make the British railways the most efficient in the world. We have a lot of catching up to do – way behind lots of nations.
Michael Warwick, UlverstonI’m embarrassed by the standard of service. It’s appalling. Broken. You buy a ticket, cross your fingers, and play the cancellation and bus replacement game.
Dorothy Frizelle, BeverleyThe current situation is ludicrous. We need one system, with one goal – public transport for Britain, not profit for the elite few.
Bill Linton, LondonI use East Coast and it’s better than it’s ever been. Let’s keep it, and get the rest back.
Kathleen White, EdinburghPlease provide affordable, decent transport for the public. Transport should not be for shareholders’ profit.
Mark Bobbitt, WymondhamIt’s for people not for private profit.
Lisa Mundy, PortsmouthI recently travelled on trains in Europe and China, superior to the UK and run for their people. UK get a grip and nationalise.
Lilian Ryan, Barrow-in-FurnessBarrow-in-Furness is really struggling already and needs a great deal of upgrading where the train service is concerned.
Sylvia Swann, ScarboroughWe need a reliable economic system to take freight off the roads and provide affordable travel for passengers.
Raymond Howells, DinningtonTime to stop pandering to the failed markets and letting foreign government-backed organisations buy our railway.
Matt Wellings, WrexhamI’ve joined. Good on ya.
Sue Caro, LondonWhy should private rail operators who make huge profits and rip us off with high fares receive much higher subsidies than British Rail did? It’s daylight robbery.
Lauren Conway, BarnsleyIt is important that the general public are provided with reliable, affordable transport and it should be public.
Laura Cooper, South Brent, DevonPrivatisation doesn’t work. Railways are infrastructure.
Eric Lackford, LargsThe British travelling public have been sold down the river by treacherous governments. Nationalise now.
Joe Hale, SwanseaBring back British Rail and railroad the crooks out of town.
Mick Ford, MaltbyRailways should be owned by the people of this country, not some other one.
Char March, Hebden BridgeI often use East Coast which has improved massively since it was taken back into public ownership. Why oh why are they going to privatise it again? Oh yes, to get rich.
Keith Barrow, HuddersfieldTransport should let people get from A to B as cheaply as possible, not for profit. One fare for each journey, not having to find the cheapest available.
Amanda Blicq, NottinghamI wouldn’t want to bring back BR, but state ownership on the European model would be more than acceptable. East Coast trains show it can be done.
Daniel Grixti, LondonI strongly believe that any part of our society that serves the masses and helps our society run efficiently should be non-for-profit and for the people.
Bernard Harper, PontefractThe time is ripe for the integration of British Rail, owned and run by the people, for the people.
Gregor McHugh, SheffieldVote Green.
