Stephen Peel, RedcarNationalise now.
Gary Ellam, StaffordRail priority should be to benefit the country and the people.
David Roberts, ScarboroughBring the railways back into our hands and let our economy benefit.
Paul R, HorshamThe fragmentation of Britain’s railways has its roots in EU directive 91/440/EU used as a blueprint for the Major Government’s privatisation of Britain’s railways in 1994.
Marie Hughes, SouthwellAs a regular user of the East Coast line, I fervently want the line to remain in public hands.
Stephen Foster, WillenhallAll key services and industries should be in public ownership. Service, not profit.
Andrew Bosmans, DoncasterAbsolutely brilliant campaign, but get the old logo the correct way round please.
Sue Brooks, HarlowI’m fed up with trains being late, dirty seats, and the price of tickets. I travel from Harlow to Great Yarmouth and it’s gone from under £40 to nearly £57. That’s disgusting.
Joe Tait, SouthamptonRe-nationalise it now – the sooner the better.
Vincent Hayes, BedfordI am interested but not convinced. Private rail works better than BR worked in many ways. Public ownership must perform better to fully convince me.
Padraig Curran, Bishop’s StortfordI spend a lot of time in France where the system works very well and is miles cheaper too.
Helen Evison, HarrogateEast Coast rail, state-owned, more efficient than private rail companies, also given taxpayers’ money and costs more.
Roger Kay, CrawleyPrivatising the railways has failed the passenger and rewarded only the shareholders.
Michele Walker, WoodstockA unified public sector rail network, properly subsidised, should be a much more organised, and profitable venture.
Michael Smith, IlkestonThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Richard Love, StamfordDr Beeching screwed the railways up. So let’s do the right thing and bring back British Railways. Forget HS2.
S Blickem, CambridgeTrying to buy a railcard and finding out how restrictive tickets trains and times are is like swimming in treacle and I still have not succeeded several hours later.
Darren Briggs, YorkShould be LNER / GWR / LMS / Southern owned by the people.
Cecil Richardson, NottinghamPrivatisation benefits nobody except the fat cat bosses.
David Willoughby, Houghton-le-SpringThe quicker the better.
Gillian Murray, NottinghamWhenever I travel on trains of our European neighbours I envy their systems and feel ashamed of the mess and confusion foreign travellers meet in the UK.
Sylvia Aldworth, NottinghamWe need a nationalised railway, not to support shareholders.
Adrian Allum, FarnboroughPeople before profit, please.
Frank Nicholas AdamThe privatisation of our railways was designed to allow ‘foreign state run’ railways to bid to run our franchises
Philip Melaney, LondonEssential services and infrastructure should never be in private hands. The potential for corruption is too high and on too grand a scale.
Anne Wren, SaleIt is so very expensive to go by train in this country compared with Europe and the USA. it is subsidised in those countries and so cheap to travel anywhere.
Margaret HuntAbout ticket pricing. I had to tell USA tourists why I had a saver return ticket with seat (£12) to London & they paid £92+ each to stand.
Merrilyn Hambleton, WarringtonThe rail system needs to be nationalised again, and this time run properly for the people of Britain.
John Gardner, StevenageLet’s own what we pay for and use.
Richard Bisset, EdinburghSince privatisation we are paying more from the public purse for a poorer, more expensive service.
