Erin Pepper, LiverpoolI’m sick of overpriced train fares. I think it’s disgusting that it is cheaper for people to go abroad than travelling round your own country.
Charles Barratt, CastlefordI do believe it is a disgrace that the British railways are segregated and have the unusual rip-off fares.
Hugh Sharp, CramlingtonI don’t believe in privatisation and never did.
Chris Hoy, LeedsIt’s about re-nationalised British Rail. Run transport services for the people who use them, not the directors.
Lee Montgomery, LondonPlease re-nationalise the railway! This has been well overdue, British people want their railway back.
Alex Ross, CambridgePrivatisation has left us with the most expensive and worst trains in Europe.
Stephen Pearce, BridgendPrivatisation has been a great success at widening the wallets of the shareholders and robbing those who actually need the money.
William Quinn, LiverpoolWe need the return of all things that were great about Britain, of which this is just one.
Thomas Wilcox, StockportStop the rip-off.
Michael Colley, DoncasterBring back the people’s railway.
Keren Gilfoyle-McGroarty, NottinghamA nationalised rail network would be able to re-invest in its hardware rather than paying off shareholders.
Paul Stevens, MatlockA usable, affordable rail network is a vital part of tackling climate change.
Paul R, HorshamThe fragmentation of Britain’s railways has its roots in EU directive 91/440/EU used as a blueprint for the Major Government’s privatisation of Britain’s railways in 1994.
Hala George, EdinburghPeople before profit. Public ownership can be a successful story.
Geoffrey Richmond, NottinghamI’m not a regular user of trains but believe profits better spent on rail infrastructure than high executive wages and company profits.
Tommy Geddes, LiverpoolThe private system is shockingly badly run. We need a government to run it without greedy eyes on profit.
Steven Edwards, LondonStop lining the pockets of the rich from our essential public services.
Ben Guest, WinsfordThe people of this country spent decades building our public infrastructures, funding them with taxpayer money, only to have them sold off at a fraction of their worth.
Dan Edwards, LondonThe privatisation of public services was and is the most short-sighted planning possible. Bring them back and put the profits back into society, not private pockets.
Bryan Scott, LiverpoolEssential to a greener and more just transport system and society.
David Swan, LondonA country needs an infrastructure. Tories believe everything should make private profit, but charging higher and higher prices beyond customers’ wallets is no answer.
Vanesa Dimitrova, LondonAfter living in Belgium, where the rail is nationalised, train staff are paid well, and therefore the trains run as planned, I think the UK needs a change.
Neile Quinn, ManchesterGreat idea – get rid of the corporate robbers now.
Keith Davidson, Hemel HempsteadTicketing is a nightmare and needs to be simplified and rationalised in a comprehensive national system.
Thomas Butler, HorshamOver the last year I’ve been unable to take the train when I’ve needed to due to cancellation, strikes and malfunctions. It’s insanely expensive too.
Kim Grais, LeedsThe privatisation of public services experiment is an unequivocal failure. It’s time to take it all back.
Philip Maguire, LondonThe railway network needs to be a subsidised public owned company with only 1st class & 2nd class prices. None of the peak time & holiday price hikes we suffer now.
Marie Hitchen, WalsallIt’s too expensive to travel on trains anymore. We need it back in the public hands.
Neel Patel, LondonBritain was the leader for transport over the last century. The world looked up to Britain’s expertise in this area. Now under privatisation our railways are only mediocre.
Alison Richards, PenzanceI believe that British Rail should never have been privatised. Britain should be British and proud of it, so let’s make it publicly-owned and British again.
