Paul Hernon, LlangollenIt’s bloody obvious.
Paul Ibbott, BedfordI have always believed in a nationally-owned rail system which provides a value service and removes road travel misery. Just visit the Hauptbahnhof in Berlin and weep.
Alan Currie, MargateThe railways should be affordable for everyone and not a shareholders’ ticket to make money.
Anthony Thorley, SittingbourneOld BR – poor management. New services – bad management plus greed – any thing for profit.
Ian Lariviere, St AlbansA national rail network is a national asset and should therefore belong to the nation, and needs to be run in a holistic way.
Dave Makin, KetteringIf BR had had the same financial injection of cash that Network Rail is having the whole network would have been modernised by now.
Eva Zacharia, LondonIf the government wants to help working people and reduce short-haul flights, nationalising the railways is the option that makes most sense.
Philippa Jane Brown, Stoke-on-TrentThe rail system needs to be re-nationalised.
Peter Green, Herne BayRe-nationalise now.
Shane Selfe, ChippenhamIt wasn’t theirs to give away. We will get this back and everything else.
Dan Marston, NottinghamThis summer we travelled by rail right across Germany with two bicycles. We paid 26 euros each and we bought the tickets the same morning on the platform.
Adam Hiley, UpminsterWe need a cheap, efficient, publicly-owned transport network similar to Deutsche Bahn in Germany.
Aubrey Stafford, RetfordPlease keep up the pressure on these stupid politicians.
Sue Millman, LondonPrivatisation hasn’t worked. Re-nationalise now.
Roy Little, LeicesterPrivatisation has led to poor service and is too expensive. It’s become all about profit for the few.
Christine Butler, MansfieldThe railways should be run for the benefit of people, not profiteering shareholders. Nothing has improved since privatisation, except their bank balances.
David Tyler, AbergavennyThis is a no-brainer. The reasons for re-nationalisation far outweigh the crass commercial arguments for private ownership, especially since that is mostly foreign.
James Reid, MiddlesbroughI believe BR should be reinstated because it allowed the British people to travel the country in an affordable manner whilst still making a large profit.
Timothy Richards, AbertridwrJust look at how the railway industry is organised on the continent (owned by the state.) Privatisation is neither efficient nor cheap.
Natalie Henstock, LondonI have had to use a car as Southern is so unreliable for essential travel – like going to work.
Andrew Walker, YorkKeep East Coast mainline nationalised – it’s the best railway in the country.
Mike Evans, LeominsterPrivatisation rejected by Margaret Thatcher. But John Major pushed it through – with the most ridiculous structure anyone could have devised.
David Pearce, LondonAs a supporter of TUSC, I am 150% behind re-nationalising state infrastructure, including BR.
Colin FlowerdayI will be glad when the British Railways board is running all our railways again and Cameron gets six lace holes up his arse!
Lynda Jones, WolverhamptonWe need a rail system that serves the community, not one that chases profits.
Angharad Green, SwanseaBring back British Rail.
Jonathan Paul, GloucesterWe need better regulated fares and to be treated as ‘passengers’, not ‘customers’. Also better choice of rolling stock (no more Pendolinos.)
Kim Fergus, WirralIf trains are re-nationalised, I believe fares will be cheaper for ordinary people and public organisations. It would be better for health, environment and personal finance.
Ayleen Pilling, Westcliff-on-SeaThey’ve gone completely downhill since privatisation.
Adrienne Grimes, LeedsIt’s another thing that should never have been sold in the first place.
