Colin Clarke, Bexhill-on-SeaYes, let’s have all the money in the public service, not private profit.
Heidi Crompton, BoltonStop privatising our services.
Paul Hawkins, CardiffWhat’s the hold up? Get it done.
Patricia Spence, ReadingBritish Rail was for customers not for shareholders.
Ian Moore, LeedsThe success of the East Coast line shows it works.
Peter Such, CanterburyI support a nationalised rail network.
Gordon McMillan, HuntingdonIt’s disgraceful that when the government does get hold of a franchise – i.e. East Coast, they can’t wait to float it despite making a profit on it.
Catherine Vickery, Market HarboroughPrivatisation was the easy way out for Margaret Thatcher – along with selling off council houses. Then energy. Now we are owned by multi-nationals. Give back our transport.
Glen Reeves, FolkestoneBring BR back. SouthEastern and the others are a joke, and are ripping us all off.
Rochelle Fry, LondonYes please.
Ken Jones, BicesterIt seems like this privatisation was completed using the worst of the umpteen awful schemes thought of at the time. It costs the taxpayer more now than it ever did.
BelindaIf all else, I miss the lovely design.
Barry Mead, TadcasterI use East Coast mainline regularly and it’s the best operator in Britain.
Terence Ward, WickfordThis issue is the reason why I have no time for people who vote for right wing political parties.
Shaun Mansbridge, SwindonBring back British Rail, as the rail system has not been the same since it was sold off.
Ellie Gibbs, KnaresboroughGive us back our National Rail.
Shirley Cameron, SheffieldTrains are too expensive and too crowded.
Frank Nicholas AdamWith a reintegrated railway system, the bureaucracy could be cut benefiting the normal people in society.
Anthony Coombs, BuckinghamshireThe current system is not working and the only solution is a single integrated rail system that is publicly owned.
Stephen Millard, South ShieldsTories out. Re-nationalise the power companies too.
Chris Hayden, Milton KeynesI believe that the railway should be owned by the country and government run.
Liz Gray, GorebridgePrivatisation of British Rail was always a retrograde step as far as the service to passengers is concerned. Hopefully, an independent Scotland will nationalise ScotRail.
Andrew Bigby, LondonI’m supporting a travel system for all.
Rosalind Collier, BristolI grew up with British Rail and was not happy when it was sold off.
Vi Dunning, Thornton-CleveleysIt’s disgusting greed, charging ever higher prices for a sub-standard service.
Michael Chick, St HelensI’m tired of crowded trains and never being on time. Northern has to be one of the worst rail operators – that has been proved, so please take it back.
Karl McKay, TorquayTransport should be made to help the country not make a few a huge profit.
John Selby, LondonI’m fed up with the mess of franchises that all seem to rip us off.
Mitch Wyatt, Raynes ParkIt needs to happen.
Patricia Stevens, NewcastleLet’s have a rail service and not a privatised joke that fills the pockets of a few fat cats.
