Anthony Thompson, ShepshedThe present ridiculous situation has gone on too long.
Anthony Hill, CreweBring back British Rail and stop the Tory destruction of the country’s infrastructure.
Roberto King, ChesterYou should try organising a strike with all of the rail workers.
Rose Walsh, BristolIt just costs too much.
Stuart Moir, FileyEvery privatisation I have seen has failed and has ended up with a more expensive, less efficient, worse service for the people, whilst lining the pockets of a select few.
Sarah Mason, SittingbourneBritish Rail should never have been privatised. It should be run as a public service for the people not private profit, as should the energy companies.
Margaret McGowan, EdinburghIt seems that the demise of East Coast has allowed the very rich companies who ran them to be let off from paying their massive debts – I.e. taxpayers money.
Dave Waugh, EdinburghPrivatisation has not worked for our railways. Check out what comedian Mark Thomas has to say.
Eileen McCarthy, MotherwellPrivatisation has not made travel by rail any better or cheaper. Train fares are extortionate and trains still run late.
Sue Mills, LeedsIt is insanity not to have a British Rail system that is coherent, coordinated and not about profit. Efficient transport should be part of the infrastructure.
Neil Brand, LondonThis must happen.
Anne Diamond, Sutton Coldfield,Privatisation was never good for service users. It’s time to admit it was big mistake.
Colin Fallows, ScarboroughThe sooner the better.
Alan Stewart, MotherwellLook at East Coast Trains for inspiration.
Peter Starns, Church StrettonI can’t afford to travel further than Birmingham except by car unless I book weeks ahead.
Janet McCormick, SeafordWe need a proper unified railway service.
Vivienne E Heatley, LondonYes! Re-nationalise the railways and everything else we paid for.
David Johnston, GlenrothesIt would be better with British Rail all with the same colours.
John Hunt, Sutton-in-AshfieldEast Coast. Big mistake by our government but can’t go back to how it was when privatised, Somewhere in the middle?
Ev Marcus, LeedsCost of travel by train has become extortionate.
Christine Clements, TruroWest Country transport at risk. We need railways.
Paul Nelson, LondonThe London train system desperately needs improving.
Mark Turnock, LondonJapanese, German, French and Italian trains run on our network. Just think of all those manufacturing jobs we’ve missed out on!
Iain McMurray, KilmarnockGreat idea.
James CoxIt just makes sense. We must retain ownership of such a vital and important piece of infrastructure.
Edward Grassby, LondonI want a rail service that efficiently runs cheaply for the public, not an overpriced service that is unreliable.
Helen O’Neill, GranthamJust look at countries with cheap, efficient national railways.
Richard Hessey, WorksopBe fair. Bring back British Rail.
Patricia Burn, ManchesterRail profits back to the people.
Tom Pitman, CardiffThe service is run for private profit. The transport system is vital for environmental purposes as well as the needs of the public.
