Martin Catchpole, IpswichBring it back. The people’s railway.
Jack McCarthy, WigtonThe rail network needs to be run for the people. We subsidise it anyway.
Neil Bell, ManchesterSome things should not be for sale.
Mike Powell, Ellesmere PortPeople not profit. Re-unify our country again. Encourage us off the roads.
Sarah Haworth, DevonBy the people for the people.
Nicholas Blomstrand, LondonProfits no. Investment yes.
Peter Hencher-Serafin, StudleyWe did not have a say in selling it off and the way it was done cost the taxpayers a huge amount of money.
Robin Orton, NorwichIf Labour would make a commitment to this, I’m positive that they’d boost their poll ratings overnight.
Peter Forster, HaltwhistleThis has to be done. No more big profits from robbing the people who pay Fares.
Douglas Jerry, CramlingtonRe-nationalisation is the best way to solve the problem of soaring rail prices and poor service levels. Remove the profit-orientated approach and provide a superb service.
Faith Bennett, BristolIt makes sense to me.
Martin Farrow, HarlowBritish Rail is so much better – bring it back.
Scott Adair, GlasgowAll public transport and the Royal Mail should be publicly owned and never sold.
Valerie Pritchard, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt should never have been privatised in the first place, as should public utilities not have been.
Ronald Cross, WarringtonLet the people benefit from the railway.
John Perkins, LondonTake it out of the hands of profiteers.
Gerry And Brenda Leach, LeedsOn leaving school in 1957 I worked for British Rail for 14 years. Whilst it wasn’t perfect, it was affordable for working people. It was privatised and everyone knows the rest.
David Zipfell, King’s LynnIt’s time to end privatisation. As each franchise ends, return it to a public run railway at no cost to taxpayers.
Derek Shaw, YorkI am strongly against this sell-off.
James Greenhalgh, HuddersfieldGood luck to the campaign.
Lyn Edwards, WatfordWe need a joined up transport system.
William Shearer, LondonThe great experiment should now end. Privatisation has not worked. Talent has been lost as train operating companies now work in ‘silos’.
Nick Barnett, HoveBR was proper railways.
James O’Grady, CoventryYou know this makes perfect sense.
Jocelyn Peacock, LondonThe Secretary of State signed off the NRCoC, which means train companies are exempt from general consumer protection because of the ministerial involvement.
Diane Hibbert, RainworthPeople before profit.
Matthew McKenna, GloucesterI’m definitely in favour of British Rail returning. Private companies like Virgin are expensive. We want cheaper rail. We don’t deserve to be ripped off.
Martin Newins, ShrewsburyIt was the worst thing ever, selling off BR.
Vandad Hatami, LondonThe British railway system is a joke these days. Train travel shouldn’t be a luxury for ordinary people, especially in this day and age that we have to combat the climate crisis.
Neil Walker, GloucesterStop this creeping privatisation of everything.
