Hazel Mayamba-Kasongo, ChesterI love Virgin who have the west coast franchise. Their service is excellent – trains comfortable and staff outstanding. However, the rest is a mess.
Phil Hine, ManchesterBring back British Rail.
Andree Mehew, LondonBecause it’s the best.
Bruce Williams, BarmouthAs an ex BR employee it makes a world of sense, as passengers would benefit over and over again.
Richard Harris, CrowboroughTransport should be owned by the people and for the people, not by the politicians’ banker mates.
Steve Yeates, East SussexWe need a train service run for passengers not shareholders.
Mark Edwards, TywynArriva Trains Wales hands down the worst operators ever. Very expensive. Late and old trains which belong in a museum not the track.
Diana Harman, Bexhill-on-SeaI’m fed up with poor service and rising costs.
David Marsh, LondonThe reason why the railways were privatised was because they were poorly managed.
John Podger, WareAnd we want clean trains.
M Godwin, BathFranchising services to First, South West Trains and other companies is totally pointless and costly.
Sebastian Hughes, PrestonThe sooner, the better.
John Parr, FakenhamI rarely use rail travel because I find it chaotic and expensive. I wouldn’t mind that so much if it was good old British Railways muddling through.
Paul Nixon, CreweAll public transport needs to be integrated.
Diane Berry, WithernseaPlease bring back British Rail and reinstate some of the old lines to reconnect the country.
Paul Crookes, DoverNot forgetting carriage cleaners. They all need bringing back in house too.
Andy Mizzi, MorecambeYou know it makes sense.
Ian Snipp, LondonI’m sick of big business making all the money and leaving the tax payers (Network Rail) to foot the bill.
Benjamin Joseph, RosslareAs a ex-driver on the railways in this country, it’s a shambles how it’s run and how the companies make so much profit off government bailouts.
Anita Maunsell, NewarkPrivatised rail has only resulted in complicated and highly expensive services.
Tamora Burn, PlymouthBecause rail travel should be cheaper than travelling alone in a car.
Jeff Barratt, CroydonLet’s bring it back into public ownership. Let’s just get people into work even if it runs at a loss.
John Dannell, DurhamI totally agree with all the comments. I’m sick of getting ripped off by privatised companies with late, packed, dirty trains.
Robert Wells, LeicesterGive back to the people.
Holly Ashton, ChesterfieldI’m fed-up with poorly-run rail services and extortionate prices.
Shannon Kilday, GlasgowThis scrappy service is not worth the amount of money I spend on it.
Maureen Parnell, EdinburghPlease re-nationalise all the other railways and keep the East Coast public. The evidence is clear. It is so much better than the others.
Mary T Johnston, EdinburghBring it back. It works for the people.
David LatimerUnless we wake up, we’ll find that the whole planet is run by one global corporation, with all the remnants of democracy eliminated.
Ed Brown, NottinghamPublic transport should always be socially-owned.
