Roy Morris, SheffieldThere is no benefit to rail users in having a privatised railway service. Please bring back a network to serve the needs of the user.
Rafy Hay, LondonThis campaign needs to show the press and politicians that re-nationalisation still has mass support.
Francis Valentine, EdinburghThese companies are virtual, so it wouldn’t cost much to take them back. Get on with it.
John Collins, LewesIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Jason Gilzean, HertfordshireTime to stop the rot.
Penny Jones, PembrokeshireTrains are the best.
Lloyd Butler, IpswichPay for trains, not for shareholders’ benefits.
Christopher Davies, Kirkby in AshfieldPrivatisation has failed, and despite being in private hands the government still has to cough up money for the railways. Nationalise and make tax money spent worth it.
TedSince privatisation tax payers have had to pump billions more into the system, besides paying whopping fares.
Trevor Neat, KenilworthProfits for the people.
Doug Ellershaw, LancasterBring back sanity.
Gareth Bryant, Newport, GwentSurely you can give up a few Trident submarines so that the people can have a reliable train service.
Elfyn Griffith, BristolRe-nationalise now.
James Reid, MiddlesbroughI believe BR should be reinstated because it allowed the British people to travel the country in an affordable manner whilst still making a large profit.
Curtis Ablitt, KidderminsterBring Back BR.
Christopher Gauntlett, LondonImperative for the future.
Michael Cartwright, LincolnWhy is the public purse subsidising private companies?
Ian Young, MusselburghThe railway system is now totally disjointed and run for the benefit of the rich. It’s a national asset and should not be in the hands of private business or foreigners.
Chris Barker, LondonIt doesn’t have to be a re-run of BR. There are other ways of having a publicly funded rail system – see Germany for example.
Anthony Kaye, BarnsleyPutting a public service in the hands of private companies who put profit before service is never a good idea.
Paul Tate, WakefieldDo not privatise East Coast. It is a fantastic service.
Rod Mathews, Richmond, North YorkshireIt should never have been privatised and we should be opening up the routes Beeching in his shortsightedness shut.
David Goodby, Welwyn Garden CityIt’s shameful that the railways were privatised. Stop profiteering and give it back to the people now.
Fiona Potter, BillericayUnification is the only logical and efficient way to bring mass rapid passenger transit into the 21st century.
John Grat, PrestonIsn’t it time to admit what a terrible idea it was to break up a nationwide system?
Andrew Rowntree, PeterboroughWe would have less need to use the road network if rail fares were cheaper.
Henry Winterbourne, High WycombeYes, bring back BR – much better days.
Kassra Yazdani, LancasterFirst class carriages may as well all be standard class, especially when you don’t get everything advertised.
Marten Hynard, Tunbridge WellsDo what works.
Zach Lines, St AlbansIt shouldn’t be cheaper to fly domestically over rail travel.
