Peter Harris, SouthamptonRail transport is a national asset. Treat it like one.
Paul Dunn, PortisheadThe current service on the East Coast line shows that a public service is better than the private one.
Nicholas Parry, ColchesterBring back British Rail.
Matthew Culley, Barrow-in-FurnessAs a regular commuter, I often have to face delays, rising fares and poor quality of services. Let’s make a change.
Wes Taylor, HavantKeep Britain British.
Marc Scheimann, LutonIt makes sense, pays money back into the exchequer and costs less to rail users.
Dean Faccini, SurbitonIt’s time to put an end to the privatisation of our rail networks. I’m fed up with paying over-inflated prices for inadequate services run by those who remain untouchable.
Malcolm Grant, PlungarPrivatisation has failed. Result? The most expensive railways in Europe.
Mike FriendThe transport monopolies cannot lose – it’s a win-win situation for them backed by the government.
Rebecca Devitt, SouthamptonRe-nationalise the railways and stop creaming off a profit for people wealthy enough not to need it.
John Tooth, Stoke-on-TrentPrivatisation is not working. Why should our railway be in the hands of foreign state-owned organisations?
Sharon Roberts, ColchesterMy father, my granddad, my uncle, my ex-partner all worked on BR. How it has been run and maintained the past few years has been of great concern to me.
Stephen Millership, StockportIt’s great that we finally have a forum to help put an end to this crazy state of affairs that is rail privatisation.
Brian Fidler, OxfordThe railways should be for the public, not for fat cat directors who cream off any profits.
Caroline Schmutz, LondonFor an affordable and integrated public transport network.
Mark Simmons-Jenkins, CreditonPrivatisation does not work, and will never work. It’s time to take ownership back into public hands.
Eric Mcrory, BearsdenThe last time the railways were nationalised they were systematically starved of investment. Ensuring that does not happen again will make the re-nationalisation successful.
Stephen Newberry, HoveI think that a country’s public transport is a reflection of what the powers that be think of their citizenry.
Nick West, LondonIt makes total sense.
Nikki Doyle, NottinghamBR was better – not perfect, but better..
Tom Mileham, LostwithielI’m sick to death with constantly rising fares, petty fines, cancellations, delays, overcrowded trains, an ever diminishing service from my town and the incompetent FGW staff.
Georgina Lum, EssexIt’s absolutely disgusting that a season ticket is £6,000. Compare it to Singapore for example. The trains are so much bigger there with air-conditioning.
Warren Sherwin, BoltonThe highest prices and worst service in Western Europe. It’s time for a change now.
Paul Nelson, LondonThe London train system desperately needs improving.
Susan GassawayWhat about the Post Office and Royal Mail?
Carole Green, YorkEast Coast is an example of how much better it is not to have the railway privatised. The further advantage there used to be of one unified system would be welcome.
Geoffrey Barlow, WarringtonWe are subsidising foreign rail companies and the government are responsible. These companies would not do it for a loss.
Jeanne Ross-Osborne, SouthamptonI want rail fares to be the same tariff wherever I go. It’s too complicated trying to find the best deals for an elderly pensioner.
Dave Bushell, HawkhurstEast Coast making a profit? Enough said really.
Duncan Banks, Milton KeynsThe continuing rise in the price of rail fares is completely unjustified given the terrible service.
