Mike Gotteri, SheffieldRailways, like many national services, should be run and owned by the state. We used to have the best railway in the world, which was chopped up and spoiled.
Donald Jessiman, ReigateAt last. A movement to put transport back where it belongs – with the public. Let’s bring an end to this disastrous privatisation.
Tim Singleton, Ashton-under-LyneBring it back.
Steven Fraser, DunbartonshireBring back British Rail!
Glenis Singleton, NottinghamWe need public service and amenities to be owned by the public The rich are taking the country’s spoils and leaving the rest of us with the scraps and having to pay for it.
Mander Semmens, IslingtonWe are losing bits or England (London) every year.
Nicholas Brierley, LondonFirst stop: prevent re-privatisation of East Coast Mainline.
Peter Cowan, SpaldingDOR have shown with East Coast how it can be done, but despite this the Coalition are dogmatically pursuing more failing privatisations. Unbelievable.
David Ventress, AlsagerEast Coast trains – nationalised and making a profit – need we say more?
Ian Mortimer, NorthamptonJust do it.
Keith Elliott, StokesleyPrivatisation has failed both the passenger and our Country – all in the name of political dogma. The East Coast line is a symbol of this.
Virginia Griffin Monk, LondonWhen British Rail was privatised, I was concerned about a fragmented and uncoordinated service. I think this is what we now have. Bring back BR.
Albert Clauson, LondonIt really does just seem the sensible option when so many rail companies offer such a poor service and unpredictable prices.
Marie Priest, HoveIt’s time to stop the obscenity of big companies taking too much in profits at the expense of the public.
Edmund Preston, KinderIt’s long overdue. It’s time to admit mistakes. The French and Germans both have national rail systems as well as buying bits of ours.
Jesamine Bartlett, Market DraytonAfter spending time living in Norway where the state owns the rail system and you can travel cheaply, I am even more furious at the cost of travel in the UK on rail.
Emma Brown, LondonIt shouldn’t cost £50 for a student to go home and visit his family.
Chris Lindon, SheffieldOur train services are appalling, woefully inadequate, always late, expensive and only increasing in cost year upon year. Trains are a necessity and should be re-nationalised.
Trevor Neat, KenilworthProfits for the people.
Ken Turner, NewportPrivatisation wrecked our railways.
Joan Lawson, Berwick-upon-TweedIt is nonsense to privatise an industry and then subsidise all or part of it while shareholders still expect a profit.
Miriam Yagud, DursleyBring it back and let’s make it democratically accountable.
Brett Langsdale, NottinghamPower to the people.
Fiona Ruth Law, YorkBritish Rail must be a public service run by a public not a private company.
Chris Strong, Sowerby BridgeCan the privatised railways get any worse?
Jim Granter, AlsagerWe shouldn’t have to wait this long before we get back what was once ours.
Irene Lomax, ManchesterEssential services should be nationalised.
Jordan SmithSolidarity.
Trevor Murphy, HarlowGive it back.
Lynn Cotton, DurhamPlease nationalise the railways. Privatisation has not worked. I want our railways back in public ownership and accountable to the taxpayer.
