Alan Arkless, CramlingtonYes, bring back British Rail. Let’s get all industries back to re-nationalising. The Tories have ruined this country with privatising.
Paul Quadros, NottinghamNo HS2 though, please.
Thomas Paterson, ManchesterPay less money to the shareholders.
Ben Huggins, ExeterIt needs doing now. Re-nationalise the lot.
Michael Johnson, GuisboroughCan we have the power and water companies back as well please? They were privatised without our permission and are ripping us off also.
Michael Attard, Newton AbbotThis is just one of the assets stolen from the people by John Major’s government. The railway should be returned in good condition after all that subsidy.
Kevin Freeman, GlasgowThe people have spoken.
Patrick Hulme, AvonI am of the generation that remembers British Rail. It was not perfect, but during the Conservative years it was led by politicians who severely starved it of investment.
Leanne Green, HydeLet’s bring back British Rail and lower prices for tickets, as private companies are charging way too much to travel to places.
Ian David, BathStop this fragmented, disjointed shambles and have a railway run for passengers not shareholders.
Andrew Smith, BorehamwoodPrivatisation is not working for passengers. I believe that nationalisation would put good service as the number one priority rather than making a profit.
Michael Bennett, Berwick-upon-TweedI applaud your efforts, but this can only happen with a socialist government.
Patricia Smith, HuddersfieldThere should be a rail network in this country that is for the benefit of all train users, not for the shareholders. Bring back British Rail.
Ken Martin, ScarboroughWhy don’t we have trains in North Yorkshire?
Annie Thompson, PortsmouthStop the theft.
Stephen Hopkins, Swanseaput it all back in public ownership so it is run for the people by the people.
Hannah Brown, ManchesterWe need a publicly-owned transport system that is affordable for everyone.
Amanda Pulsford, HastingsThese private companies care nothing for your pocket, and increasingly less for your safety.
Bernard Hurley, Hemel HempsteadWe need a reliable, reasonably priced, rail service. This will never be achieved without re-nationalisation.
Jonathan Browning, LeedsFares are too high. We need stricter government regulations so there are no benefits for opting for a car over a train.
Helen Flyn, PeterboroughYou knew where you stood with British Rail.
Roddie Arnott, EdinburghIt seems sheer folly that as a country we now pay more in state subsidies to the private providers than we ever paid for British Rail
David Pointon, Scholar GreenRail services are only marginally better than when the line opened.
Christopher Fox, BirminghamLet’s have an integrated railway.
Brian Alston, MaidstoneThe country needs an efficient integrated railway system to facilitate economic growth.
Ann Partington, GatesheadCompare how well the nationalised East Coast rail network is doing compared to the privately-run operators.
Jon Keen, HullIf we don’t own it, we can’t improve it.
Oscar Wallace, LiverpoolThe current situation is nonsensical except to those private profiteers who are running the railways at a sub-par standard. Bring back British Rail.
Sandy Irvine, Newcastle-upon-TyneThings that naturally function best together should be kept together in public hands.
Graham Askew, CambridgePrivate profit never serves people.
