Kathleen McDermott, WorksopIt’s far too complicated a system with so many different companies involved and putting profits before people.
Joe Kinglake, ManchesterWithout a doubt the most unreliable trains I’ve ever experienced in the world. Terrible fare rip-off for terrible service.
Barnaby Wimbush, Ramsgate, KentI catch two trains for my commute, from Ramsgate to Maidstone. The fare have started to become ridiculous. My train ticket costs more than my rent.
Andrew Blakeway, GlasgowThis would help more than 40% of the population on really low incomes to afford travel, also increase the value of British industry and British travel.
Joseph McLaughlin, CoatbridgeI believe that a healthy democratic nation should own all of its own infrastructure, including Health, Education, Roads, Water and Railways.
Mia Brar, SloughFare prices are far too high (in contrast with Europe) and FGW services are either always delayed or cancelled. What happens with the public subsidy? We have had enough.
Aaron McNulty, SouthportBring it back.
Steve Waldenberg, LeedsWe need a genuine public / worker co-operative and not a railway run by civil servants.
Patrick Hulme, AvonI am of the generation that remembers British Rail. It was not perfect, but during the Conservative years it was led by politicians who severely starved it of investment.
Gianluca Elwin, BristolNationalise the railways.
Merrilyn Hambleton, WarringtonThe rail system needs to be nationalised again, and this time run properly for the people of Britain.
Sandra Kell, RiponPlease re-unify. Our country is too small for lots of separate railways.
Andrew Dawton, MaidstoneIt costs more than I can afford for regular days out by train.
Julie Ward, DurhamWe do it better for ourselves than the rich shareholders will ever do it for profit.
Sueton Sayers, WolverhamptonThere are far too many different companies operating the railways. It’s far too complicated.
Samantha Longworth, BoltonWe’ve had quite enough of all this silliness.
Hannah Birkett, LondonAs a commuter, I am continually appalled by rising fares and poor quality trains. I object to latent profiteering subsidised with public money for such a poor service.
John Russell, NorwichPrivatising the railways was like everything else the Conservatives privatised. A complete disaster.
Adam Stock, NewcastleLet’s stop the corporate benefits that gives us poor management, rip-off fares and a terrible ticketing system. Re-nationalise now.
Will Steeds, ColchesterThey’re still using ex-BR Mark III coaches, ‘cascaded’ from West Coast mainline. Last week, no light, no heat in coach D. Terrible service. Bring back BR.
Paddy Carstairs, DalkeithPublic transport in public hands.
Angelo Servini, Haywards HeathLate trains, missed connections daily. There must be a better way. Expensive fares, yet taxpayers have to subsidise their dividends.
Richard Hart, BromleyRailways are a service and not for private profit.
Sebastian Clare, DublinI want not only for the railways to be returned to public ownership, but for all transport provision to be unified under a National Transport Service, mimicking the NHS.
Richard Lockwood, HeckmondwikeBring it back into public ownership before we are ripped off again with the sale of the East Coast Line.
Richard Wilson, LondonIt’s disgusting that other national rail networks are subsidised in order to make profits that could be going towards our own government. BBBR.
Michael Keirl, SunderlandThis is an essential and common sense idea.
Keith Bevan, BristolI think British Rail should be re-nationalised and kept in public ownership, not for profit of the profiteers.
Andrew Morley, Newcastle-upon-TyneInstead of profits and public money being lost in the wallets of capitalist fat cats, that money should be invested in a decent transport system used and owned by us all.
Joseph Whibley, ExmouthI’m bored with trains being expensive, overcrowded and rubbish.
