Angela Lumb, SelbyIt should never have been sold off at all.
Clive Rider, ErithIt was much better when it was British Rail.
Paul Weekes, Gillingham, KentWe need to manufacture our own rolling stock as well and bring some design and engineering back, and not support foreign train builders.
Jim Philp, CardendenBring it all back under one roof, before Network Rail’s inevitable breakup. This again will cost the tax payer.
Ruslan Kim, HamptonInconsistent fares, poor connections, confusion and delays are results of a privatised British Rail. Bring it back, the only way to make it right.
Mary Williams, Market DraytonIt’s a total shambles at present and don’t talk to me about the online ticket buying farce. Viva BR.
Alex Tinkler, BarnsleyRequired services in our country should not be open to profiteering on the free market.
Trevor Neat, KenilworthProfits for the people.
Gideon Dewhirst, GuildfordBring back a fairer and more effective railway.
Brendan Sullivan, St Leonards-on-SeaOne rail network with proper funding and trains on time. Let’s get it.
Saffron Swansborough, HerstmonceuxI heard about this campaign group on the Today programme recently. The spokesperson was terrific. I sympathise with the disgruntled Southern staff too.
John Beardmore, IlkestonWith real investment in rail we could do so much to improve our environment, but a privatised industry is full of perverse incentives. Bring back BR, and go for it.
David McintoshSince privatisation government subsidy has increased in real terms alongside the dividends of the train operators
Alex Gordon, BristolYou know it makes sense.
Jurek Narozanski, EalingIt is instructive to note that SNCF, DB, FS SNCB, RENFE are all socially owned and remarkably they work and are affordable. Not so the over-priced mess that is the UK.
Susan Tideswell, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.Even my father, with very right-wing sympathies, and who worked for BR, thought the privatisation was stupid.
Richard Scott, ChesterThis looks like a wonderful idea.
N P Bradley, DevonCrossCountry Trains are German. I would like to see British Rail back in the UK.

Adam Lewins, DoncasterBring it back as soon as possible.
Rachel Garnett, LondonUtterly fed up with our privatised rail system – trains are always late, expensive and over crowded.
Morag Cumming, NottinghamWe need an efficient and cost-effective railway network to get Britain working again. It must not be run solely for profit, but for everyone who needs to use the railway.
Paul Greening, DorchesterRe-nationalise the railways. They are a public service and can be run more efficiently in the public interest than for private profit.
Margaret Castro, YorkRailways are vital infrastructure and need investment throughout the country to benefit all.
Steve Beesley, LeedsAll utilities needed by the nation should be owned by the nation and run for the nation, not for profit.
