Davis Wilkie, EdinburghWe the people would very much like to see the railways re-nationalised. More focus on good service and profit being put into improvements rather than shareholders’ pockets
Gordon Roddick, PetworthWe need to capture all those vital resources back into the control of the people. This could be an election winning issue.
Corin Fairchild, DunblanePromises, promises, promises – but never any delivery to those of us who don’t live in Glasgow or Edinburgh. Cancellations or lack of rolling stock every single day.
Mike Beaumont, BrixhamJust bring our railways back to where they were before privatisation and upgrade the rolling stock to meet demands for the ever growing population.
Harald Dahle, AbingdonInfrastructure utilities should be publicly funded and accountable to their users, not to their shareholders.
Micheal McClelland, LondonI’ve never felt safe on the railways since privatisation.
Helle Kristjansen, LondonA transport system is essential for our society, not for investors to make a profit. No-one should make profit on something which is a key to how we exist.
Jojo Yexley, LondonTotally unfair and disgraceful.
Sharron Tootell, PenworthamStop subsidising train operating companies and invest in an integrated rail system, not this disjointed farce.
Kester Park, YorkThe rail network’s commitment to above inflation price rises proves privatisation has failed the people of Britain. It needs to end now.
Susan Hathaway, MorpethOh for the days of simple ticketing and onward journeys, and local trains waited for connecting services, and timetables that didn’t have wiggle room.
Jade Montserrat, ScarboroughEllie Harrison’s staggering talk at Artquest conference this year has made me a passionate supporter of this great undertaking. Thank you.
Haward Soper, LeicesterTime to re-nationalise the railways and cease the massive transfer of wealth to fat cat friends of politicians.
Paul Docherty, LondonLet’s get the profiteers out of our railways and re-invest profits back into the industry. Keep the guards on the trains.
Josh Learwood, LondonRenationalise the railways now.
Audrey Frumento, IpswichWe are demanding a re-unified national network run for people not profit.
John Plumm, HarrogateWe have been ripped off for two decades by rail privatisation. We fund it, we should own it.
Daniel Illingworth, BradfordIt’s time to end the naked profiteering of the privatised railways and run them for the benefit of those who use them.
Andrew Strong, Llandrindod WellsHow can a return ticket with one change be more expensive than the same journey broken up into four journeys?
Pat Vinson, CheltenhamThere is no reason why a government-run rail system can’t be efficient.
Benjamin Denton-Cardew, IpswichAside from GNER, Anglia Railways and Chiltern, privatisation has done nothing for the discerning passenger.
Kris Douglas, Stoke-on-TrentThis needs to happen sooner rather than later. Current Train Operating Companies are draining the government and the passengers.
Jane Spacie-Gray, RotherhamI used to like trains.
Marc Brammer, GlasgowTaxpayer money built the rails and now we’re just getting ripped off by the companies that own the concessions.
Simon Harris, MansfieldThey should never have been privatised. It is costing the taxpayer far too much and fares are unacceptably high. We are at the mercy of privateers.
Hazel Willis, Saffron WaldenI’m tired of being over-charged and exploited by my train company. I want fair fares and a service that runs on time – for everyone.
Steve Radford, PoultonPrivatisation has had the exact opposite effect that we were promised.
Nicola Mortimer-Stokes, CheltenhamRailways and all essential services need to be run as public services which are much, much more trusted than big business. We have bad banks, and profiteering water companies too.
Paul Baker, WinsfordPrivatisation has gone too far.
Steve Ince, PocklingtonThe country should have a proper public transport system.
