Richard Jones, LondonStop subsidising private companies.
Andrew Wale, HoveHigher prices, poorer services, year on year. How long do they think people will be pissed on like this?
Huw Thomas, DorchesterIt works in Northern Ireland. It works when the public sector has to step in to ‘hold the fort’ in between franchise holders or when they lose interest. Bring back BR.
Pauline Rendall, ColchesterBring back British Rail and stop mega-finance making money out of essential services.
John Birbeck, YorkWhat a mess.
Krystal Garnett, MerseysideBring back the simplified fare structure.
Ian Oage, BristolThe only way to save the railways and to have a safe and cost-effective transport network.
David Kazwini, HitchinPrivatisation has raised the prices to fill private pockets, while we suffer poorer transport links and old carriages!
Christine Oliver, WellsI’ve used trains for 60+ years. It’s gone downhill since privatisation. We need a national strategy and organisation that puts people and the national interest first.
Jenny Haylock, BrightonReturning our railways to national ownership is the only safe way to provide a good train service for everyone.
Glenn Gridley, AylesburyChiltern are the worst train operating company in the UK.
John Porter, FranceWe used to live in Staffordshire and hope to return to UK next year. We’re appalled at what Tory doctrinaire policies have done to UK railways.
Moira Gommon, BirkenheadBring back British Rail!
Ryab Nicholson, GooleNationalise everything. I’m sick to death with being ripped off.
Su Bradley, FolkestoneFares need reducing and additional carriages added during busy periods. Passengers having to pay for the privilege of standing for the entire journey is simply wrong.
Ian Potter, SheffieldIt makes economic, social and environmental sense to have the railways run for our benefit again. Why wouldn’t you?
Rod Anderson, LondonJust look at East Coast mainline.
Julie Boston, BristolGood to see action.
Jamie Spilsbury, MerseysidePrivatisation has taken its toll on the whole railway system in Britain, turning it into a complete mess, not to mention train fares going up year after year.
Alan Graham, WolverhamptonBR was the most cost-efficient system in Europe. Imagine what it could achieve with the money these companies receive.
Nathaniel Davies, TelfordShareholders should not factor into a vital nation-wide transport link. It makes for over complication and over pricing, with very little profit going to the system. BBBR.
Hannah Bloom, LeedsThe publicly owned East Coast railway is making money for the country. Let them all do that.
Roger Dickings, PeterboroughLet’s get rid of the fat cats who only want profits instead of service. Let’s start thinking of the people who travel and the staff who work for them.
Phil Owens, LiverpoolPrivatisation has been a ridiculously costly experiment. Everything on the railway now costs multiples of its value due to profits for long chains of contractors.
Margaret Foster, HitchinOther countries manage their transport systems with nationalised, integrated services. Some of them even own some of our railway networks. Surely we could do the same?
Nigel Sleeman, LeedsThis campaign makes absolute sense for the whole of the UK.
Stella Haynes, Market HarboroughIt, by rights, belongs to us anyway and was stolen from us.
Adrian Uden, LondonThe current service is terrible at best and getting progressively worse. The only conclusion can be that sufficient investment is not being made. EU outperforms UK.
Gennaro Gualtieri, LondonEnd privatisation now.
Samuel Nelson, ErskineJoin up the dots.
