Paul Caruana, DunstablePlease.
Trevor Larsen, Kingston upon HullOne of many bad decisions by Mrs Thatcher and followers. They basically sold off the family silver to their friends and backers at rock bottom prices. Only their friends benefited.
Chloe Limb, TenbyBring back British Rail.
Munir U, BedfordBring it back and simplify it, and stop greedy owners creaming it.
Simon McDonagh, LewesOther EU countries have it so much better, so why can’t we?
Irina Ozerkina, LondonDeliver good and affordable service so that everyone could benefit.
Kath Taylor, LeedsAs a regular rail user, I am disgusted at the congestion and poor service on today’s rail networks.
David Rudland, EpsomThere is far too much corruption associated with the railways nowadays. For that reason alone BBBR.
Mark Parr, NewhavenBring it, Bring it, Bring it back to me.
Dr Lynne Wrennall, SouthportPrivatisation has been an utter disaster, harming the people and privileging the exploiters.
Matthew Dibley, TeignmouthPrivatising the rail has always been a bad thing. High fares and very poor service. Bring back British Rail.
Edward Luigi, PortsmouthGive us back some of our family jewels.
Ben Smith, PontypriddBring back British Rail. Not for profit and make the British railways the most efficient in the world. We have a lot of catching up to do – way behind lots of nations.
David TigwellLast year not a single train I travelled on with GWR was on time.
Neil Tattersall, YorkPrivatisation clearly doesn’t work.
James Saupin, BournemouthNationalise it.
Michael Barlow, DurhamGNER was the most efficient service in the country when back in public hands, which says it all. Privately owned means profit before investment.
Sandra West, PortlandThe rail service needs to be brought back to the people. All private train operators are only interested in profit. Here in the South the train service is shocking.
David Kemball-Cook, St. AlbansYes. Privatising was a big expensive mistake.
Christina Poole, LondonI think it’s disgusting that we are still paying high taxes for services that are slowly being sold off. The government is a joke.
William Edwards, DarlingtonA national railway owned and operated by the nation for the nation in the interests of the nation has to be one of the most important publicly owned strategic assets.
Ben Illis, BrightonA return to the days of a national service run not for profit. If only.
Lloyd Cartey, Milton KeynesRe-nationalise the rail services. We are paying too much in subsidies to rail companies.
Ray Jackson, SheffieldI wish for a publicly-owned and accountable railway.
Alexander Bridges, LymingtonIn all examples publicly owned transport is a far better way to invest profit. Private transport does not allow for profit to be spent on infrastructure.
Sylvia Hawkins, GatesheadThe East Coast Rail line has been much better since it was taken out of private hands. Let’s have the same quality of service nationwide.
Jessie Treverton, BrightonRail travel is sustainable and reduces pollution and traffic. It should be cheap.
Susannah WoodgateThe best world railways are state-owned and managed. Railways are to serve people not shareholders.
Donald Peddie, SunburyIt’s Britain’s shame and we still subsidise it.
John Mooney, AirdrieStop the public funding of private greed.
