James Mundy, New ElthamGood luck with the campaign.
Richard Sharp, PolegateI hope this is not a lost cause. Tories do not want public ownership and Labour did nothing under Blair and Brown, re-letting franchises instead of direct rail control.
Marie McCahery, BradfordThere are so many social and environmental benefits from having a well-used railway system. It is not suitable to be run by short-termist corporations.
Mehdi Mir, SheffieldThe government subsidises rail, passengers pay unbelievable fairs and private firms take huge profits.
Michael Lister, HullNationalise it but run it efficiently.
Lorraine Rycroft, ChesterThe rail network is a disgrace to this country. We have travelled by rail in Europe where prices are affordable and regulated. In the UK pricing is a minefield.
John Parr, FakenhamI rarely use rail travel because I find it chaotic and expensive. I wouldn’t mind that so much if it was good old British Railways muddling through.
Mick Knights, Waltham CrossTransport for the people by the people, not for profit. All service industries must be publicly owned and all monies ploughed back into the service.
Sally Collings, BridportPublic transport should be provided as a service and not be subject to profit.
Oska Lake Thomas, LeedsPublic ownership for public goods.
James Scott, PutneyHow these companies get away with making us pay extortionate fees for sub-standard services is beyond me. Bring back British Rail.
Martin Crimp, SouthportTime these sponging train operating companies were hung out to dry.
William Quick, BristolPrivatisation has channelled public funds into private hands and left us with one of the most expensive and least efficient railways. We must renationalise now.
Keith Kennils, Newcastle-upon-TyneTwo large transport organisations have run the East Coast rail franchise and both made huge losses. Left to run on its own, it is well run and profitable.
Andy Padgham, LondonBR wasn’t great but at least their heart was in the right place.
Bryon Bache, CambridgeA brilliant idea – all strength to your arm. Our railways are a disaster.
Karen Chambers, EdinburghNo public services like this should benefit shareholders rather than users.
Sophie Bramley, WinchesterWith the climate crisis reaching breaking point, cheaper public transport just makes sense.
Julie Elphick, WitneyOne ticket, one destination, one rail company. Simplicity. Bring back British Rail.
Guy Taylor, LondonI’ve had enough of train companies using “it’s a different company” as an excuse for appalling service and penalty fares. BBBR!
Eloise MacKenzie, BrightonSouthern Rail are bloodsuckers, money hungry.
Colin FlowerdayI agree, we want British Rail back as the train services today are rubbish.
Alan Pattison, ManchesterYes, I agree to the re-forming of good old British Rail.
George Sanderson, LeicesterBring back British Rail.
Stephen Sinclair, ChesterBring British Rail back. Fares where cheap.
Phil White, BlackwoodSubsidies are now higher to private companies than under BR. So much for privatisation.
James Wilson, HucknallTo all politicians, forget the party line and do something for the people, Re- nationalise the railways.
Maria Peterson, NottinghamThe railways should be in public ownership. Better services, no private profits.
Mark Lauri, ReadingAll profits should go back into the railway not into private investors’ pockets. Railways should be subsidised and for the people not the wealthy.
C C, LincolnBR was better than we have now, and affordable and reliable. It was fantastic. Bring back BR.
