James Egginton, StevenageSomething that is controllable in the public interest. A bright new image.
James Lewis, BarnsleyI am sick of these massive corporations who charge a fortune and can’t even provide a half decent service.
Antony Drawmer, BirminghamPrivatisation equals false competition without choice but plenty of complication for customers.
John Grat, PrestonIsn’t it time to admit what a terrible idea it was to break up a nationwide system?
Colin Nichols, London14 hours stuck on a train ruined my Christmas.
Michael Fitzgibbons, BarnsleyI’m ex-railway footplate staff.
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.
Alexander Wallace, SheernessLet’s go back to when the trains were on time and not in the private sector, with all the investors taking all the money out of it.
David Willetts, BradfordThe rail network should not be run for the profit of shareholders. By definition this money isn’t spent on services.
Mark Scourfield, LincolnFares are well over the top and should be lowered to a reasonable, affordable amount.
Mike Jakeways, OundleBrilliant. Fight.
Barry Cruttenden, Weston-super-MareOnly issue I have is the possibility of strikes/work-to-rule as there used to be when we has a nationalised railway. If this can be avoided then re-nationalise ASAP.
Christopher Tyre, TroonBring back British Rail.
Richard Stott, Berwick-upon-TweedIt’s a disgrace that we pay more money in and get less out.
Patrick Baker, DerbyThe current railway system is a laughing stock.
Bruce Asbestos, NottinghamFair railway ticket prices are the path to a zero carbon country!
David Rundle, CroydonBritish Rail was an organisation that provided satisfaction by trains running on time, clean and always providing service with a smile on the faces of staff.
Stephen White, DarlingtonThe East Coast Line before privatisation was excellent. I would like it to return to those standards.
Susie Riggott, SouthamptonThe Labour Party’s weak response to this magnificent campaign is not nearly enough. Nothing less than full re-nationalisation of our railway system will do. Fat cats out.
Anthony Torok, LeicesterOnly re-nationalisation will bring back all the rail services under one umbrella, providing a fair service to all.
Kerri Clegg, RomfordAs one in the same industry and a customer, I could not agree more.
Valerie Banks, ClayhallI totally agree. Bring back BR. Sadly since privatisation the rail network of this country has gone downhill.
Dominic Williams, Ashford, KentSNCF do it right, BAHN do it right. It’s time to join them and end this mockery of free market economics supported by public subsidy.
Sheena Ratcliffe, RichmondEast Coast Line is excellent – all our railways should be run by the country for the country.
Chris Tugwell, WellingPrivatisation of the railways is a sham so that shareholders can make millions. We should re-invest in re-opening closed lines and bring back a real service.
Steve Blades, Newcastle-upon-TyneRailways are a vital part of a country’s infrastructure. The state-run East Coast service has been highly successful. The railways should be run for the people.
Kenneth Peachey, NottinghamAfter all the things sold off by previous governments, it is time to bring these back into public ownership. I am tired of seeing all the profits going to overseas people.
Bradley Ruben, IlfordBritish Rail had class. British rail had its own recognisable railway uniforms. There are too many names now. The name Britain is lost from the industry.
Clinton Bull, KnebworthI remember when it was a decent industry.
Isobel Burke, LeedsWe want our British Rail back in our ownership.
