Roy Charman, TretowerDo it and win the election.
Antoine Legris, NewcastleJust bring it back into public ownership. No-one believes in that privatisation rubbish these days. We’ve been conned too many times.
Nick Bailey, YorkI had the privilege of working for British Rail with highly professional people who were proud of their Railway. I also had the displeasure of working for Railtrack.
Rebecca Gracey, LewesPrivatisation is not working and we have the ridiculous situation whereby it is cheaper to run a car (with one occupant) than it is to make a rail journey.
Max Ganesh, SherborneDespite my being only 14, I strongly feel that privatisation should have never happened.
Roy Smith, Saltburn by the SeaIf we brought back BR we as taxpayers would have less subsidy to pay and cheaper fares.
Eileen Johnson, YorkLet’s stop this insanity and vanity and get real.
Tony Copeland, BoroughbridgeIt makes eminent sense to have a national transport system run for the benefit of the country and not for private profit.
Joseph ShailRail belongs to those who work and ride it.
Jane Gannaway, LincolnThe railways are an essential part of our national transport system and all profits should be used to maintain and upgrade the system, not siphoned of by the fat cats.
Mark Simmons-Jenkins, CreditonPrivatisation does not work, and will never work. It’s time to take ownership back into public hands.
Mary Blundell, GranthamBeeching began the demise of the railways.
Jacob Rothman, Llandrindod WellsIn the 1980s British Rail had about 5 managers on high CEO salaries. The private railways now have 150.
Ian Scarlat, BradfordBring it back to the people.
Stephen Newberry, HoveI think that a country’s public transport is a reflection of what the powers that be think of their citizenry.
Jacqui Morris, ClactonMore good public transport, fewer cars.
Dennis Fuller, LondonPrivatisation is, was and always will be about taking something from the general public and charging the general public an extortionate price for a service.
Tun Loakthar, LondonThanks for organising. I always wanted to find people who also want nationalisation of British Rail.
Edmund Connell, DoverRe-nationalise and start repairing the damage caused by the fragmentation of the industry into a thousand pieces.
Michaela Nelson, LiverpoolI agree.
Ffran JonesNationalise the railways! They never belonged to Thatcher to give away in the first place, they belong to the people of Britain.
Andrew Cooper, WiganThe railways need to be brought back to the people.
David Millar, Stoke-on-TrentPlease re-nationalise and invest in competent managers.
Nigel Street, EmsworthSouthern Railway demonstrates exactly why we should bring back British Rail.
Martin Cummins, EdinburghOnly public service can deliver a service with the public not shareholders in mind.
Claire Callender, TotnesIt costs over £1000 to take my family from Devon to Edinburgh by train, and only £500 to fly.
Richard King, BristolThis privatisation experiment has failed. The East Coast Line ran at a vast profit when in government hands but not when previously run privately. It’s time for British Rail.
Greg Sutton, FleetTime for a change.
Carol Brack, AlstonYes please, British Rail. Service not profit.
Ahsan Naseer, BirminghamPlease bring back real rail travel in the UK.
