Kitty Grove-Stephensen, MiddlesbroughIt ain’t broke – don’t fix it.
Rob Shepherd, BeckenhamWith good management British Rail can cut prices, improve services and still make money for re-investment.
Elizabeth Richardson, Milton KeynesBritish Rail wasn’t perfect but at least you understood the ticket pricing and a single was cheaper than a return.
Katie Goodwin, TadleyThe Great Train Robbery – the British privatised rail network.
Peter Britten, FarnhamWhy is socialism so bad for people when it’s clearly the best thing for business?
Nicholas Hughes, PlymouthI used to love travelling by rail. Now it’s an awful experience. But why is this not the case in the rest of Europe? One word – Privatisation.
Monica Cassidy, PortsmouthI’m voting Green Party to try to make this happen.
Sarah Macbeth, St Leonards-on-SeaI’m stick of being overcharged by rail operators who provide disconnected services on dirty, uncomfortable and overcrowded trains.
Laura Blake, StockportI’m paying more and more year on year, yet year on year the service gets worse and worse.
Gareth Robinson, WrexhamRegionalised rail has failed the common, everyday and occasional passenger with constantly increasing price hikes! Time to bring back a fairer system and value for money.
Leslie Platt, TarporleyInitially I was against re-nationalisation, but enough is enough.
Graham Barnard, LondonThis is the only way to stop rail fare rises.
Steve Revins, BirminghamRailway workers and users together to fight for our interests.
Gill Oldaker, Shepton MalletYes, I agree. Trains should be for the people, not the profiteers. I abhor privatisation of national services.
Barrie Pederson, TorontoI lived in the U.K. from 1971 to 1988 and still miss British Rail every time I am back in the country on a visit. I hope you’re successful, but it will be a long road.
Gary Drew, LondonPrivatisation is Government sponsored piracy and vandalism – a capitalist scam.
Lynda Holt, WarwickBring back British Rail.
Abigail Cooper, East CowesUnified and not for profit. It can’t get better than that.
Ellen Robson, Hemel Hempsteadbring it back. Things are a joke with these companies!!!
Joe Kent, LeedsLet’s have a rail system that works for all our citizens and not large profits for a small number of people.
Gary Clark, ManchesterI use Northern Rail every week and they are the worst company in existence, late near enough every time. The trains themselves are near 30yrs old and in a terrible condition.
Steve Anderson, BristolBillionaires don’t listen to anyone’s words but their own. Is there any point to this? Derail the City of London if you want social justice.
Stephen Hopkins, Swanseaput it all back in public ownership so it is run for the people by the people.
David TigwellLast year not a single train I travelled on with GWR was on time.
Rosemary Morgan, BirminghamOur rail network should be seamless and better regulated for the benefit of the customers, not shareholders.
Francis Derek Boyle, ManchesterBring back British Rail.
Ruth Cooke, LeedsVirgin now have control of both routes north from London. Fares ok for now, but what of the future? It’s an over-complicated lottery buying tickets.
Ian BradshawReliable rail network required.
Ian Johnstone, GranthamThe only one that makes a real profit is the East Coast line that is publicly owned, a prime example of how it can work.
Tim Goodwin, BarnsleyPrivatisation has not worked. Passengers are paying record high fares, whilst subsidies are paid to TOCs to operate what were our trains, on our behalf.
