Rowan Crawshaw, CaernarfonI hate Virgin and First.
Martin Bane, BrightonPublic transport run for the public.
Steven Hinchliffe, HuddersfieldAbsolute joke Virgin – the trains are outdated and falling to bits.
Alan Sykes, BradfordPublic ownership is essential for our health and well-being. Rail and all methods of transport realise these needs.
Noel Inge, Harrold, BedsThe current system is uniquely stupid. Dogma should not be the starting point for delivering such a vital public service.
Geoff Lange, GosportPrivatised rail companies charge us twice. We the taxpayers pay for their subsidies then have to pay their extortionate fares.
Marie Mcguirl, Clacton-on-SeaPrivatisation has not improved any of our services and the fares keep increasing. They are all in it for profit and their customers who have to rely on these services are not served well.
Donald Hutchison, PenzanceBring back the big blue trains.
Rowan Bell, NottinghamI’d like to see the disintegrated industry of ROSCOs and operators unified into one, employee-owned trust.
Colin FlowerdayI agree, we want British Rail back as the train services today are rubbish.
Jacob Tong, LondonAbsolute Economic Sense
Eunice Wormald, NuneatonI always thought Labour should re-nationalise all our services as well as BR.
Lee Warner, YorkPassengers before profit.
David Buttle, WinchesterThe biggest mistake was to privatise the railways. I am a working volunteer on heritage rail and grandson of an LNER staff member from Stockton station.
Kane Pawlina, ChelmsfordExtortionate prices, extremely shitty services. Shareholders rubbing their hands together and smirking. That sums up national rail pretty well.
David Gutteridge, ChesterfieldThe fare structure is ridiculously complex and the prices are a rip-off. Competition has achieved nothing for the ordinary traveller.
Judith McFarlane, BedfordGive the railways back, and get freight off the roads.
K Dietz, DunbarTransport should not be privatised. Look at the mess it has become when accountability is to shareholders instead of to passengers.
Martin Farmer, BrightonGood campaign. There seems to be an error in your leaflet though. Check consistency of global co2 emissions numbers.
WendIt’s all such a muddle and a complete shambles at the moment. We want it back as it was please.
Andrew Thomas, BoltonIt definitely should happen.
Kieran Murphy, Hemel HempsteadThe East Coast Mainline better than everywhere else. Enough said.
Martin Dallaghan, ManchesterI believe private sector has successfully shaken up and re-vitalised this previously semi-dormant form of public transport. So now it’s time it went back into public hands.
Stephen Wearden, LancasterIt’s time to bring in 24hr manned and serviced stations too.
Timothy Gregory, Deepcar, SheffieldOvercrowding and poor service on CrossCountry. Too much emphasis on profits and not enough on passenger interests.
John Bramhall, NewburyThe current situation is ridiculous. Prices go up and the service doesn’t improve.
Frank Nicholas AdamThe privatisation of our railways was designed to allow ‘foreign state run’ railways to bid to run our franchises
Patricia Wilson, MerseysideIt should never have been privatised and now it’s gone to ruin, no money has been spent on it and all has been banked for the owners.
Patrick Hanmer, NottinghamTravelling on Continental railways frequently, I am ashamed of the complexity of our ticketing systems here; they’re nonsense and exploitative.
Jason Fernee, BillericayThe old British Rail service was preferable to the abject misery I get most weekends on my line.
