Bill Holland, ManchesterSubsidise public transport, tax fuel.
Steven Wood, GooleThe public service network – trains, roads, cycle lanes and buses is basically rubbish, badly run, expensive and always late, It needs laws to improve or sack those running it.
Nigel Thompson, NorthamptonTake it back. The whole privatisation was a mess and named theft.
Sue Brooks, HarlowI’m fed up with trains being late, dirty seats, and the price of tickets. I travel from Harlow to Great Yarmouth and it’s gone from under £40 to nearly £57. That’s disgusting.
David Fisher, ReadingI’m a regular ECML passenger – it runs efficiently and makes a profit. So if it ain’t broke why fix it? Re-nationalise the rest and who knows what improvements might follow?
Marc Collinson, BangorGreat campaign. Now a serious outline of proposals are required from a think tank.
Anthony Coombs, BuckinghamshireThe current system is not working and the only solution is a single integrated rail system that is publicly owned.
David Moore, Leedswe need it back to public ownership, not fat cats creaming off the system.
Keith Barrow, HuddersfieldTransport should let people get from A to B as cheaply as possible, not for profit. One fare for each journey, not having to find the cheapest available.
Lindsey March, Kings LangleyIn Italy. 9 euros gives me 5 hours of clean, modern, punctual rail travel. It is essential that we give people an affordable alternative to car travel to save the planet.
David Sherwood, NorthwichPrivatisation has failed, tax payers pay more subsidies to give private companies more profit.
Philip Jones, FlintBritish Rail had its faults but it was run for the benefit of great Britain not foreign conglomerates.
Patricia Glen, BorehamwoodSince privatisation the rail service has deteriorated and become more expensive.
Rich May, GloucesterI myself believe now is the time for British Rail to become National Rail again.
Arvind Jadwa, LondonThe service has been bad since privatisation, and the fares sky high.
Chris Martin, AbberleyThe only way forward is an integrated rail system which is only possible with the re-nationalisation of the railways.
Stanley Page, DerbyI have long travelled the UK incredible railways. However every time I cannot help but feel that this incredible network would flourish under national ownership again.
Alwyne Richards-Ellis, LutonIt’s the only way to improve rail transport and get an integrated network.
Peter Reynolds, BirminghamBritish Rail was efficient and customer-focused. The current system is a profiteering shambles.
Colin Heathcote, WarkworthEnvironmental and economical no-brainer. Rather than pour millions into the bulging pockets of Branson, use our cash to serve the public by investing in our railway.
Simon Tinney, BasildonPublic transport is a rip off.
P J Casey, NelsonPrivate companies will never give us a proper 21st century railway system. This is a national strategic and economic asset, while private is short-term profit-obsessed only.
Graham ScrivensFares are high and service low.
Charlie Werner, SandfordTaxpayers subsidise the private rail companies so that shareholders can have dividends.
John Hodey, SwindonI’m not able to afford the fares, being retired.
Neil Tilstone, ManchesterJust re-nationalise it for all our sakes.
Geoff Dunbar, TorquayRestore the public service, reverse loading of costs on passengers, invest in public transport as a real national asset for everyone.
Kevin Webb, AccringtonThe current rail structure is lunacy with no real competition anyway. I believe there are 23 companies responsible for different aspects of safety etc.
Barbara Bell, DoncasterBring back British Rail.
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.
