Glenn Gridley, AylesburyChiltern are the worst train operating company in the UK.
Nounette Noble, BradfordWe are all totally sick of being ripped off and feel that the only way forward is to re-nationalise the rail network.
Susan Murphy, NewarkNo more unfulfilled promises of improvements. Nationalise now. People before profits for a change.
Richard O’Sullivan, LondonRail fares keep going up and up when services do not get better. This has to stop.
Fabio Massei, Livorno, ItalyPrivatisation has simply meant expensive tickets for commuters (and also tourists). I’m Italian and I can’t understand how British people have accepted this unfair system.
Danny Elliott, LincolnThe number of reasons for having an efficient, clean and reliable Rail Network are vast and numerous, yet since privatisation the Network has been anything but.
Steve Fishwick, LondonBring it back and let’s run the service for all the people and not for the profits for a few. Think of what good all that money could do for the industry and more.
John Self, WissettLabour’s John Prescott spoke of the idea before they were elected the first time. What happened? Labour caved in to city pressure is my guess. Let’s do it now.
Jim Granter, AlsagerWe shouldn’t have to wait this long before we get back what was once ours.
Naeem Hanif, WakefieldBring back British Rail.
Chris Uren, BracknellI used to work for BR at Reading, loved every minute of it then they privatised it and it lost its attraction.
Steve Higgins, LeedsI support Caroline Lucas’s proposal to take each rail component back into public ownership as franchises finish. East Coast shows how much better it would be.
David Hill, CreweIt’s criminal what happened and continues to happen to the railway.
Matthew Nelmes, LondonObvious solution.
Michael Lindsay, HarrogateLook no further than the success of East Coast Railways in comparison with the failure of previous privatised companies.
Peter Forster, HaltwhistleThis has to be done. No more big profits from robbing the people who pay Fares.
Francis Nixon, Marton, New ZealandThe privatisation of BR was a criminal destruction of a well-functioning railway system for the stupidest ideological reasons and has been a disaster for Britain.
James Nicholson, CamelfordIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Charlotte Young, DerbyThis country’s rail prices are disgusting. Look at the rest of Europe and take note. Government, we will not stand for this anymore.
Neil Sheehan, MerseysideWe need a railway system to be proud of, which can once again become the envy of the world!
Colin Glenister, WellingboroughMake sure railway people run it.
Philip Dawes, ChesterfieldRailway travel should be a public service and return to public ownership, just as water, gas and electricity should be.
Jean-Ann Gascoigne, YorkIsn’t it obvious that privatisation is rubbish? The only rail line that is in profit and running trains on time is the only one that hasn’t been privatised, i.e. East Coast.
Javed Miah, LondonI’m sick of train fares going up every year. It’s an absolute farce. How is this sustainable?
Sydney Wilmshurst, CaterhamValue for passengers not profit for financiers.
Josh Learwood, LondonRenationalise the railways now.
Stephen Holland, NottinghamThere can be no coherent public transport or environmental policies without a nationalised railway system.
Michael Edwards, LondonBetter for all users, for the economy, for the environment.
Stephen Brooks, FolkestoneI am an ex-railway employee and frequent rail user. There is no room for any competition in the railways, so no sense in privatising.
David Butler, ChesterRail travel is a public service and it should be run as one and not for profit. Look at London.
