Ian Crombie, BasingstokeBring back BR.
Julia Inch, EnfieldBritish Rail belonged to us before the sell-off and privatisation but we want it back nationalised and belonging to us again.
Clare Jaap, BrightonIt is prohibitively expensive and pricing unnecessarily complicated when travelling by rail.
Carol Wood, CoulsdonThe way the railways are run is not run for the public and the staff, it’s for profit. Safety and public no longer matter. Bring back British Rail.
Elizabeth Hames, GainsboroughDefinitely re-nationalisation of the railways needs to be made a priority.
Kris Pratt, TotnesRail services since privatisation are a sham.
Margaret Berry, NottinghamThe railways should be for people, not private profit.
Mike Clement, BromyardThe present fragmentation of what truly was a national treasure is a real shambles.
Steven Sayer, NorwichBring back British Rail, so the profits go back into the system, and not into somebody’s pocket. We had a great service from Norwich to London Liverpool St. before.
Phillip Quarry, GloucesterFor the good of the planet, for the good for us. Transport is a necessity, and not for private profit.
Andrew Wetherall, Ashford, MiddlesexSet train fares at pence per mile. National railcard will bring a third off the price of the journey.
Janet Bird, SheffieldI am fighting HS2 which plans to run through my back garden – the 50 billion would be better spent on the existing rail services which will benefit all instead of the few.
Greg Doull, CwmbranPrivatisation in all services has been a disaster. We’re paying lots more for very much less.
Frances Farrer, OxfordThe sham promise of efficiency has been exposed as just another way of profiting from public subsidy. The system is chaotic and unfair, and should be fixed properly.
Martin Curtis, St IvesRe-nationalise now. Public ownership is the only way.
Chris Johnson, CardiffPrivatisation provides a worse service for a higher price, all for the sake of corporate profit. I say the railways should be for the people, not the fat-cats.
Jayson GillhamWorld-class train transport please.
John Sheldon, LondonIt’s a no-brainer. Why allow the extraction of any level of profit when the system is essentially maintained through general taxation?
Hilary Parnell, RickmansworthBritish Rail publicly owned would be operating in the interests of the stakeholders.
Jean Withers, MorecambeThe railways should never have been taken out of public ownership.
Peter Wiltsher, Stratford-upon-AvonI think the public not-for-profit company which ran the East Coast line should have been allowed to bid when the contract came up for renewal.
Jeanette White, CreditonI want a joined-up service which makes sense.
Cathy Lee, SwadlincoteLet’s apply some common sense to public transport and especially trains please.
Catol Kirkman, HoveUnreliable service is ruining the quality of my family life. To consistently have trains from Victoria to Hove cancelled is appalling.
Andrew Remedios, BrightonNo more subsidies to fat cat franchise owners. We need a public transport system fit for public use.
Joseph Hegarty, London4.1% broke the camel’s back.
Martin Hollington, ManchesterI’m appalled at privatisation of the railways and have contempt for the outfits running them. The destruction of BR and loss of skills and knowledge is criminal.
Michael Smith, EnfieldUnite the railways and make it better for customers and staff alike.
Janice Hutt, Whitley BayTo work properly, the railway needs to be integrated under British Rail and not be for private profit.
Cassy Firth, LeedsIt’s a no-brainer! Power to the people, not profits to the fat cats.
