Matthew Nelmes, LondonObvious solution.
Borja Manso, SuttonAll those companies are making profits, not giving a service. Squeeze the users, squeeze the workers, don’t invest, get millions on profits, ruin the service.
Anne Brodie, CowesAs an ex-commuter I can vouch for the outrageously bad state of trains and rail services, and the extortionate fares. We need change.
Daniel Stapley, FolkestoneThey should never have been split up in the first place. A national, essential service that has gone to the wall.
Alison Foottit, WickfordIt wasn’t theirs to sell in the first place – give it back to us please so we can run it properly.
Jessica Klingelfuss, LondonThe present system is without a doubt the worst first-world train system I’ve ever had the displeasure of riding.
Mervyn Parry, LlangollenIt’s about time that all public transport was back in the hands of the people and not the companies who are draining every penny out of taxpayers pockets.
Gill Cuthbertson, BangorThe system is not fair. Different subsidies or hike-ups in different regions. It needs intelligent organising.
Carol Wood, CoulsdonThe way the railways are run is not run for the public and the staff, it’s for profit. Safety and public no longer matter. Bring back British Rail.
Suzanne Turner-Inglis, BlackpoolWe need this for everyone.
David Gatward, CardiffRe-nationalise all necessary facilities, not only the rail.
Dave Lee, DartfordAn affordable and functional public transport system is necessary for a nation to thrive.
Glen Gibb, DunbarName a privatisation that has benefited the people.
Aaron M, East SussexWhat we have now is the worst of both worlds – the service is worse and the cost of operation higher.
Chiara Knott, NottinghamJourneys are too expensive. And why do I have to pay to use the toilet? This is a violation of my human rights I’m certain.
Mike Bond, BristolLet’s get people moving on the trains at a good price. All working together. Unify our rail.
Barry Maginn, ManchesterEast Coast – all that needs to be said.
Ed Jasion, LondonBring back British rail. Stop robbing the British public.
Philip Overton, Great YarmouthBring back less misery to travellers. And more support for our rail workers.
Amyan Macfadyen, SheffieldThe splitting into private companies was a disastrous mistake. Reverse it.
David Long, LichfieldA very just fight.
Charles Naylor, YorkThe pricing of tickets is farcical and needs reform – a Government initiative through BR would help to resolve this.
John Rowlinson, Westcliff on SeaPublic service not private profit.
Michael Gascoigne, WallsendI remember the days when there was one simple pricing system. A return ticket was always cheaper than two singles. The system was easy to understand.
Brian Finn, CardiffNot for profit organisation would keep the greed and corruption at bay.
Lynda Holt, WarwickBring back British Rail.
Elaine McDonald, BasildonKeep public services public!
Arvind Jadwa, LondonThe service has been bad since privatisation, and the fares sky high.
Nigel Holmes, HullThere is no logical reason not to return the railways to public ownership, run like a business, to keep tickets economical and benefit the travelling public.
Carolyn Black, Newnham-on-Severnwe are an embarrassment compared to other European countries. The rail system is a shambles.
