Chris Henry, GloucesterDo this now before a state-run foreign company takes over or broken up and sold to TOCs.
Rowland Jones, BristolThe botched privatisation must be undone. It is wrong that private companies and foreign governments take profits and subsidies from our railways.
Lesley Parkhouse, BathWe are being put to shame by other countries’ rail networks. What happened to the great British Railways? Bring them Back!
John Seymour, SheffieldLet’s have a rail system where customer service not profit is the prime motivating force.
Peter Pearse, Cambridge147% on every pound they put into their business.
Simon Best, LeedsPrivatisation is unstable and has cost the tax payer millions more than they should be paying and has created a poorer service. It is time to reverse the errors.
Ronald Cross, WarringtonLet the people benefit from the railway.
Alwyne Richards-Ellis, LutonIt’s the only way to improve rail transport and get an integrated network.
Graham WalkerFuel duty for motorists frozen for the last seven years. Rail fares have risen in line with inflation. With little or no increase in wages. Bring back British Rail.
Steve Allen, SheffieldJust make it public.
Christopher Flack, LondonFirst Capital Connect are the worst. Bring back BR.
John Wilson, TelfordThis is a Human Rights issue as our taxes are still subsidising the private corporations. Please support https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/bill-of-rights too.
Joel Andrews, NewportBring it back.
Margaret Powell, LondonThey should never have been sold off.
Ann Madine, SandyI’m sickened of being ripped off by shareholders, tax-dodging corrupt companies, and getting very poor customer service in return. Audit of the whole organisation now.
Kevin Dudding, Kingston-upon-HullIt is so disjointed that it is unreal, needs to be nationalised to function for the many not the few.
Colin Tarrant, DerbyIt’s time to stop rich friends of the government ripping us off. Rail, water, gas, electricity and now the mail too.
Martyn Lyman, LeicesterI support the idea of bringing back British Rail because it is ridiculous to think it’s cheaper to fly than to take the train. We’ve had enough, Cameron.
Timothy Hodgson, BirkenheadThe railways must be brought back into public ownership.
Sam Taylor, LondonThe rail network in this country is a disgrace. I’ve travelled the World and have yet to see worse, or more costly public transport.
Mimi O’Halloran, DealWhere I live, the cost of a railcard to send a child to school costs a family £600+ a year. No wonder the kids bunk the trains.
Cindy Sullivan, LondonPlease bring back British Rail.
Mark Whitaker, SloughBritish Rail will be more accountable to Government.
Ian Young, HexhamAs an ex-employee of British Rail, I can honestly say it was a pleasure to work hard and to serve the public. Re-nationalise now.
Bonnie Webber, EdinburghTrain is greener than flying. Let’s promote train travel and energy savings by making this commitment as a nation.
Mark Ricketts, PlymouthThe railways have gone down since privatisation. Bring back not-for-profit British Rail.
Trevor Walsh, OldhamRe-nationalise and keep the profits to be invested in the infrastructure.
AnonymousThe price of train tickets is honestly ridiculous. I saw an old British Rail advert from 1982 that said ‘Anytime Return London – Manchester only £11’. Now it’s about £100!
Caroline Barenghi, PontelandFor environmental reasons rail travel needs to be efficient and cheap.
JamesAt my station, there is no assistance, no plants and no-one who can advise what is happening at any given time.
