Aron BuchneaBR was the best railway in the world and as a rail fan I want it back.
David Humphreys, WrexhamWhen they brought in the new Railways why have it all split up with one company owning the tracks and another the stations etc. Bring it back under public ownership.
Kevin Dudding, Kingston-upon-HullIt is so disjointed that it is unreal, needs to be nationalised to function for the many not the few.
D Mackay, East KilbrideApart from anything else, it is allowing foreign companies to own our infrastructure which should not be allowed.
Andrea Stanton, WalsallAnything to get rid of London Midland’s appalling service.
Thomas CoyleLet’s build and test trains in the UK, it’ll be good for economy!
Terry Marshall, DoncasterStart using commercial nous instead of political dogma and keep the East Coast line in public ownership.
Padda Brewster, Wolverhamptonit was run better when it was BR.
Pat Vincent, Milton KeynesThe taxpayer is paying through the nose to give greedy individuals a huge profit. Re-nationalize a public service that should never have been sold off in the first place.
Margaret Woodward, Newcastle-upon-TyneI travelled from Newcastle to Edinburgh in August, an annual trip to the Fringe. Virgin took over from East Coast trains. Fares doubled service appalling.
Tony Lyons, ManchesterWith the mega-subsidy the private sector is given to run the rail system, BR would totally blossom.
Mark Ransley, West MallingYou should not be able to publicise a service which many of us have no choice but to use. It’s just wrong.
Kevan Potter, NuneatonRun the railways for the people.
Alan Stewart, MotherwellLook at East Coast Trains for inspiration.
Nora Ramage, GlasgowIt’s too important to be run for private profit.
Neil Pritchard, St. HelensNorthern Rail are the pits. For goodness’ sake, give our railways back to the people of Britain.
Jenny Gilbert, WellingtonWe need to go back to the days you could buy a ticket at the station, and change trains or travel times without extra expense. It’s stupid that driving is now cheaper.
Howard Elcock, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe fragmentation of the system caused by privatisation is a disaster and fares are too high because of the need to satisfy shareholders.
Sara Richards, HurstpierpointWe never should have sold off the railways for private companies’ gain. The national rail network should run for people not private profit.
Alexander McLean, KilmarnockPoor service, no rolling stock, later and never early.
Nicole Hopson, BraintreePlease come back. The privatised Abellio is appallingly bad and exceptionally overpriced.
Paul Culkin, LiverpoolTransport should be public.
David Harney, BromleyTrains are too expensive. The railway is needed by everyone so should be kept cheap and not run as a private profit-making business.
Barbara Ann Spencer, LondonLet’s keep on this. It’s so relevant and the trains are so expensive compared to Europe.
Mitchell Blythe, CanterburyThe rail network should be back under public ownership. It should never have been sold in the first place.
David Dickson, NelsonIs it true that we subsidise German rail fares.
Lewis East, SwindonBritish Rail was simply awesome, there were no other words to say about it beside that.
Hannah Holroyd, ColchesterToo expensive for such an unreliable service. The new increase is an absolute joke from out-of-touch people with no experience of the service.
Graham Warwick, ColchesterCommuting should be supported by a public service like power and water. Stop the money junkies taking over everything that once was part of social support for the citizen.
Charles Honderick, LondonI am appalled by the sky-rocketing price of travel, the most expensive in all of Europe. It’s disgusting.
