Lucy Reynolds, LiverpoolAn essential service for the people should be run by the people, for the benefit of all.
Garry Blackmore, BradfordTransport for the nation, not for private profit.
Liam Mustapha, Bexhill-on-SeaA college student that will be affected by the 3.4% fare rise and does not have a proper income.
Curran McKay, LondonTransport, like healthcare and education, is a basic human right and it’s prime objective should be service not profit.
Sarah Markham, FlitwickPublic services are best. The railways need to be given back to the people who should own them, the people of this country, not those who just want to make money.
Angela Lloyd, NewportI have always loved travelling by train, as, when I was a child, my father was a guard.
Sian Thornton, PeterboroughFare price rises and bad service. Clearly it needs to be nationalised.
Barry Freeman, ShaftesburyPlough the income back into the nationalised railways – not into private profiteers’ pockets.
Malcolm Law, YorkThe carriage works in York were closed at the time of privatisation and rail fares are far too high. A bloody disgrace.
John Hearn, RotherhamThe railways, along with the utilities, should be for the benefit of all and not for profit for the privileged.
Gareth Matthias, NottinghamBring back the days of British Rail so we can finally catch up with the rest or Europe and have efficient, non-fragmented and modern public transport.
Bobby Bowden, St HelensPrivatisation is failing. Bring back British Rail.
B Freeman, StevenagePrivatisation is theft of publicly owned infrastructure, transferred at knock-down prices to the already wealthy, at the expense of the people.
Ann Madine, SandyI’m sickened of being ripped off by shareholders, tax-dodging corrupt companies, and getting very poor customer service in return. Audit of the whole organisation now.
Kevin Lycett, LeedsI remember how dreadful British Rail was, run for the convenience of the staff, no customer care, and no investment, but even that is better than this awful mess.
Tony Fielding-Raby, LincolnI’ve been a keen supporter for some time. More power to the campaign.
Craig Smith, AmsterdamIt’s clear now that vital national infrastructure is not for the hands of the private market.
Mark Johnson, CambridgePrivatisation is theft.
T Matthews, ExeterNationalisation now. The people to own the railways.
Peter Dobson, Whitley BayRail should be a national asset, not a money tree for private enterprise.
Florence Arthur, EdinburghIt is not working, late trains and profits going to faceless people, where it should be taking care of passengers. There are not enough carriages for folk to sit down.
GGood ideas here!
David SommervilleThere are plenty of surplus ex-British Rail carriages that could be overhauled. This would represent a service improvement at minimal cost.
Neil Brand, LondonThis must happen.
N Power, ManchesterThey should never have been Beechingised in the first place, and put freight back on the rail.
Louise Ffoulkes, LondonLet the railways be run for the passengers and not for the shareholders.
Dean Barker, SunderlandBBBR.
Tom GibbsIt’s an irony that most of our trains are operated in some form by a state railway, but it’s just not our state. If we are going to be like this, why not make it Britain’s Railways?
Celia Kelly, LiverpoolWell done Bring Back British Rail. Make sure people know about the huge subsidies the current providers get from us. It’s our railway.
