John Hoyle, KetteringLet’s get back to a rational co-ordinated transport system.
Tania Tucker, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation has failed. Poor service poor value – need I say more! Also as an example East Coast mainline was fantastic last time it was put back under state control.
Keith Chambers, SouthportBring back British Rail.
Nick Sharp, St NeotsThe continual dropping of standards, quality of service and reduction of safety while ramping up prices has to stop.
Charles Lewis, EdinburghYes Bring Back British Rail.
Keith Forrest, LiverpoolI am a regular rail traveller and service has never been so expensive and poor.
Dylan Hartley, SheffieldWe want British Rail back for better services.
Lisa Alder, BeckenhamI’m fed up with packed trains and delays – so many extra passengers are now travelling into London but still the same services from 15 years ago. No wonder it’s falling apart.
Kenneth Marshall, ColchesterHigher fares, more taxpayer subsidy, equals shareholder payout or to foreign railway operators.
Sheila Lovett, Newton AbbotLet’s bring sense back at last.
Gordon Reid, ExeterJust do it.
Douglas Raith, EdinburghPublic transport should be a service, not a cash cow.
James Bennett, NorthamptonReturn all privatised services to full public ownership and management.
Chris Holmes, Colchesterex-Tinsley Diesel Maintenance Depot.
Credwyn Livesey, PeterboroughBritish Rail should belong to the people and not private investors.
Terry Grimley, BirminghamThe kind of people who complain about the bureaucracy of the EU are the same kind of people who designed the Byzantine complexity of Britain’s privatised railway.
Shea Hopper, BournemouthThey shouldn’t have been sold off in the first place.
Rebecca Steventon,Just one word. Argh.
Paul O’Neill, LondonBring back loco-hauled trains. Reduce speeds for better comfort. No to HS2.
Mary Clowes, KilmarnockA rail service can’t be the best if it has to consider profits for shareholders.
John Evans, BillericayPublic transport should be run for the benefit of the country, not shareholders.
Neill Hendry, Henley-on-ThamesWe need to return to an integrated rail system that puts its customers and employees first.
David TigwellLast year not a single train I travelled on with GWR was on time.
Colin Nicholson, EdinburghPrivatisation of publicly owned assets is theft.
Mitch Harrison, BoltonBring back British Rail.
Christopher Wade, GrimsbyI believed then and I believe now that BR should never have been privatised. Everything I forecast would happen has come true.
Peter Farrell, Tunbridge WellsThey’re not just privatising everything they can get their hands on. They’re closing all former nationalised industries. A socialist programme of action is the only answer.
David Cottrell, CromerBring back British Rail.
Richard Waltereit, Whitley BayMany of the private rail companies are foreign national rail networks, so it would better be one British Rail.
Amber Smithwhite, PaigntonWhat’s happened to British Rail – it used to be cheaper, easier and happier to let the train take the strain.
