Julian Gillespie, ManchesterA workable transport system can only work if subsidised. Re-nationalising the railways makes sense in any civilised equal society.
Luke Dickens, ManchesterUK trains are over-priced, inefficient and well behind in technology.
Andrew French, CaldicotThe franchises are just a way for the rich to become richer.
Michael Hare, WarringtonIt’s time to return to Social Democracy.
Steve Lawlor, PurleyWe need a proper railway service, not the one we have at the moment.
William Howells, Great MissendenSince Deutsche Bahn took over Chiltern Railways, it has fallen from the best operators to one of the worst. The whole system is collapsing. We need re-nationalisation now.
David Gillian, LeedsPublic transport should be for the public, not for private profit. With climate change looming we need affordable fares to encourage cleaner travel. Re-nationalise the railways.
Tyrone Bowen, SloughThe rail system in its current form is a joke.
Christa Munro, DorsetHow can these rail companies justify the massive price of train travel? BBBR.
Robert Myrie, LondonIncrease rolling stock and reduce fares for everyone. Link into the EU rail network, to give more choice to all.
Philip Lowe, WoolerEast Coast Rail proved the advantage of a nationalised service; before it was gifted to Branson to milk.
Bill Walker, LyeIt’s about time we shut down this bunch of crooks.
Chris Roberts, SouthamptonNationalisation is the only viable option to secure the future of the UK railways.
Praveen Kumar Thampi, Chennai, IndiaThis is highly relevant in India, where the new dispensation is actively promoting privatisation of Indian Railways. Wishing you all the best in your endeavours..
Ffran JonesNationalise the railways! They never belonged to Thatcher to give away in the first place, they belong to the people of Britain.
Gary Hale, EveshamI work for one of the unpopular train companies operating in the UK, and the vast majority of frontline staff want BR to return. Obviously upper management don’t.
Susan Dawson, RosudgeonNeither trains, railways nor buses should ever have been privatised. High prices for poor transport services. Nationalised would be better maintenance/service/price.
Jennifer Hobson, LapfordPrivatisation has produced a worsening service.
Andrew Round, BirminghamIt’s wrong to put monopolies in private hands. Trains in Birmingham are expensive and almost always late.
Zehang Li, YorkSupport from a railway enthusiast from Beijing, China currently living in York, England.
Victoria Glover-Ward, HertfordLet a company manage the railways not a convoluted claim system for delays.
Helen Sills,East Coast mainline now in public ownership is a success. Anything which turns back the iniquitous tide of privatisation is to be strongly supported.
Emilia Hoffmann, PenrithTrain costs at a stupid level while private companies reap the benefits, our government needs to step up.
Mike Macsorley, BargoedIncompetent politicians have turned a public service into a public liability.
Andrew Rowntree, PeterboroughWe would have less need to use the road network if rail fares were cheaper.
John Stephens, BedfordThe dis-aggregated British Rail does not work for passengers; it works for shareholders.
Jack Coy, SheffieldWe deserve a proper, integrated railway system run for people not profit
Luke A Parker, TrowbridgeI support this movement 100%. I feel like taxpayers are been let down and that’s got to stop now. Trains for the people, not for private profit.
Sebastian Hart, IpswichI’m a student and it’s so expensive to get home to see my family.
Greg McGurk, BillinghamI loved working for British Rail and it was never the same following privatisation.
