Eleanor Stubbs, TrowbridgeTrains are overpriced, overcrowded, frequently delayed and often dirty, resulting in hugely dissatisfied commuters. Privatisation has failed, and change is needed.
Roy Smith, Saltburn by the SeaIf we brought back BR we as taxpayers would have less subsidy to pay and cheaper fares.
Mike Sherry, DudleyGet all our utilities back into public ownership.
Stella Yates, WarminsterI totally agree with this idea of providing the country with a public rail service as opposed to providing ever increasing profits to rich fat cats.
Sheila Fleming, GatesheadThe railways are becoming too expensive and the service is not consistent with the cost.
Sarah Markham, FlitwickPublic services are best. The railways need to be given back to the people who should own them, the people of this country, not those who just want to make money.
Mal Rothwell, PlymouthBest job I ever had all under one umbrella.
Anne Wren, SaleIt is so very expensive to go by train in this country compared with Europe and the USA. it is subsidised in those countries and so cheap to travel anywhere.
Kevin Freeman, GlasgowThe people have spoken.
Brian Luck, BorehamwoodIt has become more obvious that a fragmented rail network is less efficient and more expensive to users.
Jonathan Hopkins, HarrogateRail privatisation was a fine example of the reverse Robin Hood mentality of the Tory party.
William Reynolds, HounslowThe railways should be run for the benefit of the nation, not for private profit.
Nik Devlin, LondonI hate how the UK’s train network is falling to bits.
Mark Hosey, GosportI’m in 100% support of the nationalising of the railways.
Keith Bryant, SandownLet’s bring to an end the privatised fiasco that provides the worst service for the highest fares in Europe.
Aaron Bliss, OxfordshireOne of the very worst privatisations. It makes no economic sense from either side of the political divide. Make public transport something to be proud of again.
Tony Acton, LondonThatcher’s legacy is destroying the little that’s left of public Britain.
David Ward, LondonEnough is enough.
Francis Saunders, The Hague, NetherlandsI’m in full support of a sensible and fair rail system. Stop them charging us exorbitant fares for travelling on our own railway, and give us back the control.
Peter King, OxfordAs a regular but decreasingly frequent user of the railways, I’ve experienced how bad things are on the network.
Jason George Walker, Stoke-on-TrentNationalise all public services.
Mayur MehtaWe need one standard fare, whether you buy in advance or on the platform just before the train or on the train from a ticket collector.
S Read, YorkWill a mainstream party have common sense enough to adopt this policy? Why are they so scared?
Edward Luigi, PortsmouthGive us back some of our family jewels.
David Free, SaltashI worked for Railtrack and Network Rail. Privatisation does not work. Profit before service is wrong.
Karl Price, AltrinchamWe have franchises run by other national companies making profit and funding their national railways, BR Could be funding back into our railways and serving communities.
Lesley Burt, ChristchurchWe need a rail network that networks for people who use it (or would use it if it worked properly) – not for profiteers.
David Tandey, MaidstoneThe Tories and Labour are parties of privatisation but with a Socialist now leading Labour we need a system of people before profit
Stella Beston, LondonGive the services back to the people. Everyone is happier when they are employed by a national rail service, or any other publicly owned service.
Philip Hubbard, SouthamptonSouthwestern Trains are the bane of my life.
