Nathan Day, RedhillSimple. Enough is enough.
JamesI support you fully against this greed and want the link broken between private corporations and ministerial back-scratching.
Elaine Nudd, ChesterfieldOur railways will never be working for the benefit of commuters as long as they are run by private companies for profit.
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.
Marcus Dillistone, HexhamBritain’s railway system is in no-man’s-land comprising the worst of both worlds, and is thus unfit for purpose.
Elizabeth Moffat, NottinghamI’m totally disgusted that Virgin and Stagecoach will be taking over the running of East Coast Trains. It’s all downhill from now.
Hugh Gurney, GlasgowHand out subsidies (from our taxes) to hand them to investors? It makes no sense.
Emma RobbinsIsn’t it obvious?
Mark Harvey, ExeterI hope this campaign makes an impact. Fare prices have become utterly ridiculous.
Thom BallaBritish Rail, so misunderstood, so unloved. They killed you
Gerard Talbot, Canvey IslandI Just find it stupid the political dogma of the current government
Lucy Sherston, BrightonI’m incredibly fed up with paying over the odds for a service I rely on that is cancelled/delayed the majority of the time, with little warning.
Michael Lotinga, BristolFinally, a group has the courage to say what many are thinking.
Jane Wallace, NorwichEveryone realises privatisation was a mistake. They just need to nudge back to British Rail.
Martin Read, CardiffChoice’ turned out to be no such thing.
Colin Keatley, PlymouthBring back British Rail.
Ian Young, HexhamAs an ex-employee of British Rail, I can honestly say it was a pleasure to work hard and to serve the public. Re-nationalise now.
Diane Coleman, HuddersfieldBritish Rail should never have been privatised. It needed investment but the road lobby rules in Britain.
Travis Speight, DoncasterI think this is such a good cause. I get the train almost every day to Leeds to get to college and every day I pay 12 pounds for a return ticket. These prices aren’ t OK.
David Harrison, NorthamptonWe might end up with a service that is on time and actually runs, not one that is consistently late, packed all the time and with engineering works all the time.
Morag Cumming, NottinghamWe need an efficient and cost-effective railway network to get Britain working again. It must not be run solely for profit, but for everyone who needs to use the railway.
John Corrigan, Bridge of EarnIt should be run for the benefit of the people, not for private profit.
Mary Abbott, PortsmouthThe rail system in the UK is one of the worst in the world. It’s very expensive, never on time and with price rises above inflation year after year. It has got to stop.
Fahmid ChowdhuryWhat more to say? The current system is ridiculous.
Javed Miah, LondonI’m sick of train fares going up every year. It’s an absolute farce. How is this sustainable?
Susan Gentleman, EnfieldA comprehensive national rail system is essential. Nationalise it in order to have a comprehensive system with profits kept for re-investment.
Tom Voute, PurleyPrivatising the railway system was a very expensive mistake, only done for ideological reasons.
Chris Power, YorkThe Government should hold a majority stake in Britain’s railway network. Fully private franchises do not benefit the taxpayer or the consumer.
Tim Delaney, LowestoftIt’s obvious that the railways are being run for short-term private gain and not in the public interest.
