Paul Coombs, SwanseaBring back BR.
Trevor Walsh, OldhamRe-nationalise and keep the profits to be invested in the infrastructure.
Elaine Armstrong, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe rail services have deteriorated enormously since privatisation and fares just go up and up. Privatisation equals bad service, full stop.
Peter Smith, Newcastle-upon-TyneIf it ain’t broke (i.e. East Coast) – don’t fix it.
Tim Goodwin, BarnsleyPrivatisation has not worked. Passengers are paying record high fares, whilst subsidies are paid to TOCs to operate what were our trains, on our behalf.
Rajesh Mittal, DoncasterI want our railway to become a public railway, run directly by government. I fully support Bring back British Rail.
Jerome Jerish, KendalI hate Avanti West Coast.
Ian Mortimer, NorthamptonJust do it.
Michael Chick, St HelensI’m tired of crowded trains and never being on time. Northern has to be one of the worst rail operators – that has been proved, so please take it back.
Elizabeth Moulding, CramlingtonFor the people not private profit.
Wayne Elsworth, PlymouthAs a regular rail user of Great Western between Paddington and Plymouth, I find it slower and stupidly expensive with the same 40 year old trains and no plans to improve it.
Graham Mills, BirminghamNo more fat cats. No more fare increases. Bring back nationalisation. Bring back British Rail.
Matthew Warren, BuryEnd corporate welfare. If we start with this small sector, it will snowball, then we can re-nationalise the oligarchs’ portfolios – gas, electricity etc.
Paul Mosley, Sawley, NottinghamI agree.
Heather Pollard, HornseaIts time to bring back railways into national ownership. Save the tax payers billions of £s and create a joined up and reliable service.
Anita Hambly, CorbyIt’s time to put people before profit. I have bought so many tickets then stood in the doorway of the carriage for the length of journey.
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.
Phil Clarke, NuneatonFormer BR employee seeks re-nationalised network for constructive relationship.
Wendy Squires, LutonThe East Coast Line proves that public is at least better. More public money going in now than before privatisation – to shareholders.
Michael Cryer, AberfeldyIn many cases the train fare is more than the cost of fuel for the same journey in the car.
Barry Reeves, BlabyChristian Wolmar calculates that BR cost between £1m and £1.5m and today the railway cost £6m, including the Network Rail Debt. The lunatics are running the asylum.
Elaine Dyson, HolywellThis is a public service. Give it back to the public.
David McintoshIt will cost us far more in the long term to continue to allow greedy private companies to run the network that we use everyday.
Chris Frost, LondonBring back the rail industry into public ownership.
Stuart Jessiman, WallingfordTo stand on Great Western service from Reading to Paddington during the rush hour crushed in like sardines, knowing GW are making a profit from this is scandalous.
Hugh Butcher, TadcasterI travel the rails a lot. East Coast mainline is by far the best in terms of service, ticket price, and customer care. It is owned by us and makes a surplus for us.
Steve Allen, SheffieldJust make it public.
Jonathan Grain, LondonI remember British Rail. It was great!
Glyn Jones, DartfordEnd the farce and re-nationalise the railways. I travel to and from Cumbria by train and have never arrived on time in any direction. Also the fares are so expensive,
Patricia Gurney, NewarkWe are the people of Britain and we want our railways back.
