Ian Scrimgeour, BournemouthPrivatisation has been a disaster for the fare-paying passengers.
Paul R, HorshamThe fragmentation of Britain’s railways has its roots in EU directive 91/440/EU used as a blueprint for the Major Government’s privatisation of Britain’s railways in 1994.
Rob Smith, TonbridgeI’m fed up with substandard trains from Hildenborough and sky high prices.
Yvonne Lunde-Andreassen, LondonIt’s the only private rail system in Europe.
Andrew Nix, LondonThe railways should be a public concern, serving the public, not wealthy shareholders.
Bernard Kennedy, BristolCommon sense and expert railway knowledge have ceded to a misguided dysfunctional railway system that other countries view with disbelief.
Nigel Smith, LondonRe-nationalisation is long overdue.
Barney Cox, LondonI’m so sick of spending an increasingly vast amount of my wages on trains. Freedom of movement is a basic right.
Lochlann Hughes, NewtownabbeyI desire for the railways of Great Britain to be de-privatised so that they are efficient, cheap and reliable, in turn helping commuters and the environment.
Lynda Storey, PontefractThe East Coast line works brilliantly. Let’s roll out their model to the rest of the UK.
Ronald Donnelly, Burgess HillWhy should train profits go to overseas investors and not recycled into the system?
Gaynor Underhill, WantageYou know it makes sense. We need a national rail service owned by the people.
Mark Bretel, BirminghamNo to private profiteers.
Alan Tebbit, TruroRun for profit railway has been shown not to work.
Andrew Watson, BuryAs a West Coast line user I have seen rise after rise and I only get a seat on one in four of my journeys.
Dan Cooper, BrightonIt is not the fault of the workers, it is the government’s failure.
Victoria Hobson, EdinburghPrivatisation is a disaster. It is inefficient, ineffective, often provides a poor service, costly and disadvantages its workforce and passengers.
John Tidy, LondonI want rail transport run for its users. We can’t go back to the under-investment of the BR era, and the current arrangements are unsustainable. A new paradigm is needed.
Robert Bonner, Burton-upon-TrentI’m in full support of the re-nationalisation of the railway network.
Joan Young, Newcastle-upon-TyneI support the re-nationalisation of railways as an intelligent transport policy.
David McintoshWe are fed up and angry at the blatant disregard for what is a vital piece of our economic infrastructure and what made Britain a leader in engineering world.
Sharon Draper, SudburyThis is what we need to do, to make our railways beautiful again and the envy of the world.
Stuart Ogden, IlkleyPrivatisation is not working for the passengers, employees of train companies or taxpayers. Bringing back public ownership would be much better.
Paul Woodburn, ManchesterStop the corporates exploiting commuters
Tim Evans, CambridgeEnd the endless gouging of the privatised rail companies. Bring back equitable train fares.
JamesI support you fully against this greed and want the link broken between private corporations and ministerial back-scratching.
Paul Roadnight, HarrowRe- nationalise British Rail for efficiency instead of profit.
Alexander Hedley, Newcastle-upon-Tynewhy on earth did the Tories sell off the East Coast main line except for political dogma and to line the pockets of their cronies?
Simon Murray, Newcastle-upon-TyneLet the public sector manage our infrastructure for the benefit of our society and not the pockets of big business.
Jordan Smith, BristolStop the fares rip-off getting stupid.
