Peter Gillon, Sowerby BridgePrivatisation has been a disaster for the railways. We subsidise it more now than when it was publicly owned.
Peter Jeffries, Isle of WightBring it back into public ownership and expand. Roll back Beeching’s cuts. Isle of Wight needs a light railway desperately. Its been strangled by lack of a good railway.
Robin Kinrade, MaidstoneThe hotchpotch of private companies and railway track providers etc. is just not working efficiently and travellers are being milked more and more. Public ownership is best.
Paul Forrest, Bourganeuf, FranceThe French rail system is excellent, affordable, efficient.
Martin Forster, WashingtonWhat doesn’t work doesn’t work no matter how we might will or wish it too.
Paul Brookes, WalsallNot for profit.
Jack Free, EppingI agree with this campaign.
David Pears, Milton KeynesService and passengers before profit. Many rely on rail.
Peter Boggett, CardiffBring back a modernised high-speed network and a unified BR, get rid of Network Rail and micro government interference.
David Cross, LondonFor getting to work on time, reducing road deaths, and avoiding climate collapse, we need a nationalised rail network.
Dawn Appadoo, RochesterGive back to Britain our heritage.
Ria JonesI worked for the railways for fifteen years and I left in 1993 as privatisation was coming in. I now cannot afford to travel by train.
Rosemary Morgan, BirminghamOur rail network should be seamless and better regulated for the benefit of the customers, not shareholders.
Cathal McCarron, LondonChoo choo!
Les Railton, HullI remember when British trains were something to be proud of. We should put that right again.
Nick Haeffner, LondonOut with the miserable, gouging private sector vampires – Atos, Serco and G4S are a disgrace too. Get rid of them all.
Charlie Bartlett, ColchesterUnder no circumstances should it cost more to travel to Scotland by train than it costs to be catapulted there in 600mph jet-powered tube. Please sort this out.
Alan McVitty, Welwyn Garden CityBring back BR now for everyone’s sake.
Simon Leavesley, LondonI remember the days when we had a wonderful national transport service, unlike today.
David Mullin, PrestonRun for the benefit if the people not a few shareholders.
David Everitt, YorkI believe the BBBR campaign is to return the service to the tax-paying people, and not a feather bed for the unions. If not, then leave it as the shambles it already is.
Joan Burt, EdinburghAbellio is a publicly-owned Dutch company. Northern Rail should be publicly-owned by the British people for those using and working on the line.
Stephen Thomas, ReigateInfrastructure should not be privately owned, it should be publicly owned and run for best performance and value, not raw profiteering.
Emma Campbell, SandersteadTerrible East Grinstead service. The frequency needs to be increased as well as the number of carriages. All over the country serious reform is needed not Victorian trains.
Ann Brown, LincolnBritish Rail was far better than any other rail company. I started work for them. Regional Railways again was a good company and then things started getting worse.
Del Davies, KentI’m fed up with late and cancelled trains – and railcard increases for a deteriorating service.
Euan Stewart, GlasgowI’m all for public ownership, but strongly against union or political influence.
Umar Amin, ManchesterBring it back now.
Graham ScrivensFares are high and service low.
Elfyn Griffith, BristolRe-nationalise now.
