Mick Yates, DoverI’m a big supporter of re-nationalising the railways.
Tom Berry, Market RasenAffordable public transport is one of the easiest things you can do to help both the people who have the least and the environment.
Mr. R. J. Aston, Thurgarton, NottinghamshireSome rail fares are now just ridiculous and the profits being extracted by management companies should be kept by the people.
Sophie McKeand, WrecsamI use rail services all the time and the cost is ridiculous. Train users are being robbed. Nationalisation is the only answer to ensure us a fair deal.
Daniel Clark, GatesheadThere is no reason not to.
Steve Roach, WorcesterHow hard is it to book a bike onto a train? Bring back ‘guard carriages’.
Paul Thacker, NewportBritish Rail is best!
Marsh Stephens, HullBring back British Rail.
Michael Rands, HullMake these companies run by the people and shared by the people.
Tom Wakeford, PeterboroughStrategic resources should be under state control and ownership. The current chaos needs bringing to an end.
Michael Hurst, ManchesterIt cost taxpayers more while private companies maintain a good profit. Put all revenue back into the rail network, with the same systems of oversight.
James Evans, LondonThe railways are far too important to allow private firms to run them into the ground. These companies bring no money or expertise to the industry, yet they get rich.
David Drew, RickmansworthPrivatisation was a botched ideological part of roll-back the state, John Major’s attempt to go where Maggie did not. Other countries saw that it was folly and did not.
Roger Theaker, LiverpoolPrivatisation has been a disaster for passengers and a bean feast for rail companies.
Zaki Hughes, YorkBring back BR, and the great four.
Michael Crawley, AltrinchamWe need an integrated rail system in our small country.
Joe Cottrill, DeganwyBring them back.
Mike Welsby, WiganAll public transport should be publicly-run, with profits invested straight back into services and not to line the wallets of foreign companies.
Iain Bell, CambridgeStop bonuses.
Anthony Martin, ExeterIt’s about time Britain was made Great again. Key infrastructure like railways should be for the public, not for shareholders and profiteers.
Hala George, EdinburghPeople before profit. Public ownership can be a successful story.
Stewart Bell, Newcastle upon TyneNationalise the railway systems for everyone to benefit from train travel.
Lewis Torrington, ChristchurchBecause it is right to do (ex BR employee).
Pedro Pereira, Milton KeynesFares are too expensive under private control. Improve the service by investing money into the network directly and not into scandalous salaries and bonuses.
Karen Cook, CambridgeUp with the British.
Ethan Storey, ChichesterDown with Southern.
Helena Rant, PlymouthAs a student it costs me way too much to get home and, due to the extortionate train prices, I can barely afford to travel to pursue my career as a performer.
John Somers, MirfieldPut the railways back into public ownership.
Greg McLean, FalkirkRailways should be run for the benefit of passengers not profits to line the pockets of fat cat directors.
