Tom Peyton, GatesheadIt should definitely be British Rail again, but privately managed.
Mark Simmons-Jenkins, CreditonPrivatisation does not work, and will never work. It’s time to take ownership back into public hands.
Michael Boty, WhitstableProfit should not be the driver. Passenger safety and satisfaction should be.
Waqas Sheikh, LeicesterThey need to lower the fares.
Dr M Relich, EdinburghThe railway network should be a public service, not just run for corporate profit.
Barry Cook, BarnsleyGive us back our railways.
Dean Bell, Retfordit is time to take our core industries away from the thieves and fat cats and restore them to the public sector. People before profits. Off with their heads.
Hazel Hawes, LondonRe-nationalisation but make sure that those in charge are qualified to be there and honest. I wish I had known about the protest earlier as I would definitely have been there.
John Walker, ColchesterThe railways need to be re-nationalised – the investment in our network needs to be overhauled. We invented the railways, let’s make it the envy of the World again!
Jamie Bramwell, CheshireBring back not only British Rail, but all water, gas, electric and banks – all into public ownership and get this country back on track!
Odette Gotobed, Milton KeynesMost of us would support this decision. Privatising our railways was a very wrong thing to do.
Rosalind Readhead, LondonA transport system that works democratically for the whole of the UK should not be in the hands of profiteers.
June Sutherby, PocklingtonPrivatisation for profit is obscene, selfish, greedy and undemocratic.
Nigel Hughes, TorquayPlease Bring back British Rail. It will work better than what goes on now.
Eve Luddington, Chapel AllertonThe first priority for private companies is their shareholders who want a profit. Nationalise the railways and make them profitable for tax-payers.
Paul Alexander Sherwood, ThirskAlthough I have strong Conservative views, railways and energy supplies (gas and electricity) should never have been privatised. The greed of these companies is obscene.
John Hubert, PencaderRailways work best as integrated networks. Unify our railways to spread prosperity and opportunity for all.
Enid Khan, LeicesterThe railways should never have been returned to private ownership. The mess they were in then was the very reason for nationalisation. Will they never consider history?
Francois Calitz, PurfleetI’m sick and tired of paying through my nose for a pathetic and unreliable service on C2C. I’ve had enough.
Ian Johnson, SelbyWe must make sure that it is a new British Rail with the right people running it, not like the people we had before.
Eva Fox-GThe privatised companies have now had long enough to show us absolutely clearly that the railways would be better publicly owned.
Sven Hanson, BrightonYes, and bring back buffet cars as well.
Alex Ninnim, PlymouthLet’s have our railway back to how it should be run – for the passengers!
Richard Porter, MaidenheadStop East Coast privatisation now.
Anne Diamond, Sutton Coldfield,Privatisation was never good for service users. It’s time to admit it was big mistake.
Keven Matthews, HalsteadOne railway is all we need.
Simon Canfer, SwindonI want a rail service that I can afford to use please.
Michael Taylor, LeicesterAnd then the bus services, and then gas and electricity.
Dennis Archer, ArnoldBritish Rail first then the utilities.
Alan Crowther, StockportThe days of Joe Public paying through the nose to sustain the luxurious lifestyles of the greedy capitalist class must come to an end.
