Trevor Payling, MexboroughWe’re not getting value for money. The rolling stock is ageing and decrepit.
Steven Howe, ChesterJust do it.
Win Gibson, Newcastle-upon-TyneModern infrastructure is vital to economic growth and cannot be left to short term aims of the private sector.
Jim Taylor, AyrCheaper fares!
Rob Goddard, SouthamptonSouthern Rail is not fit for purpose, why does our government keep backing them.
Patrick McGuiganLook no further than the East Coast line for an example, with profits going back into public coffers.
Nicholas Hayes, DurhamPeople’s daily commute shouldn’t be left to free market greed.
Pauline StephensThe franchise system can only be described as a bad compromise, which is too rigid to be able to meet the demands of customers.
Ellie Harrison, GlasgowPrivatisation is not progress!
Mark Harmelen, ManchesterSo the Government is giving its mates the East Coast line, rather than have it return, as now, a nice profit for the UK as a whole. Sick.
Andy Upton, ColdinghamBR was far from perfect, but should have been fixed, not replaced. It is obvious that removing money to pay lawyers and dividends is just a waste.
Mark Smithson, WorksopNot-for-profit and all excesses put back into the service would be the minimum requirement. Better still back into public hands.
Nicola Raymond, MaidenheadI want to fight the privateers.
Daniel Casey, BristolA united, extensive, sustainable transport system, run by society for society!
Arnold Zermansky, LeedsPrivatising railways was a politically inspired experiment with a clear negative outcome. Britain’s railways are over-expensive, under-co-ordinated and inefficient.
Ulla Vangsgaard, WakefieldReliable, affordable public transport would help save fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse emissions and population stress, and make Great Britain a healthier, happier place.
Joy Cuff, TeddingtonBring back British Rail. I can remember when the trains were run for the convenience of the passengers not the money grabbing companies running the railways now.
Duncan Sillars, DundeeThe UK rail system is too small to benefit from the pressures of a free market.
Dom Sellars, ElyPaying almost £9 every day to go to college is simply ridiculous.
David Edwards, NorwichOh please.
Rosemary Darbishire, UlverstonGreat plan.
David Clarke, NottinghamIt makes sense unlike a certain political party.
Dave Boswell, BoltonBring back BR. We overpay for a terrible service. Privatisation should never have happened.
Anthony Davis, LondonI daily use trains and the prices keep going up and up and the service getting worse and worse. This should be non-profit and the government should be at the helm.
John Thompson, JarrowThe present situation is a shambles. The present East Coast line is cost-effective. Privatisation is not the answer any more.
Elizabeth Collier, LiverpoolA nationalised rail system in Britain would bring more efficient service for customers. In addition workers would be proud to work for the good of people not profit.
Paul Unwin, DerbyIt would be nice not to have to travel through 2 other counties on 3 different trains to get to another Station in the same county. Bring back the Matlock to Buxton line.
Paul BrightWe should reintegrate the railways with bus and sea travel, so that British Rail can offer seamless travel from Europe to all parts of the UK.
Tony Fielding-Raby, LincolnI’ve been a keen supporter for some time. More power to the campaign.
