Juliet Wilson, EdinburghWe need affordable, interconnected, environmentally friendly rail services.
David Tait, BarrheadBring it back.
Susan Atkins, SheffieldWe bought it – we paid for it – and now we are paying all over again and again – whilst others reap the profits.
Terry Davies, TelfordPassengers not profit, just as it should be patients and not profit in the NHS. Give us back our assets.
Martin Jones, Builth WellsNot another cent in public subsidy.
Peter Brookings, Milton KeynesRailways should be run as a public service, not for shareholder profit. Get freight off the roads and back on the railway.
Robin Jakeways, OtleySince much of our system is owned by foreign governments, would it not be a good idea for our government to get in on the act and actually make some money.
Melissa Titus, EdinburghPublic transport should be an affordable service available to all. Privatisation has resulted in ridiculous fares and poor quality of service.
Richard Jowett, BradfordI am sick of the private railways being a mechanism to transfer money from taxpayers to shareholders.
Stuart Hyslop, DumfriesThe country requires a national, integrated transport policy. Start with British Rail then the Buses and finish with the Ferries.
Erica Wimbush, DunbarWhen private train companies fail, they allow public train companies (like East Coast) to step in. What evidence is there that private train companies are best?
Sarah Gregson, OxfordWhy are we subsidising a rail network so that private companies make a profit?
Fary Webb, BurnleyNationalisation of the Railways is long overdue.
Liam Furniss, NottinghamI believe that the railway being run as a business is affecting the public service it should be. It’s becoming a money oriented industry.
Robbie Lee, ManchesterI am utterly dis-satisfied with the level of corruption, incompetence, and lack of respect our current railway system has. The people should suffer no more.
Gianluca Elwin, BristolNationalise the railways.
John Harrison, RotherhamPrivatisation is not working. This is a public service that should be non profit-making.
Tom Organ, BristolRe-nationalise British Railways immediately and without compensation.
Chris OwenI entirely support your aims and now understand why you reversed the logo!
David Haimes, BarnsleyNever have so few robbed so many.
Edith Hawley, NottinghamAll power to your elbow.
Lucy Miller, LondonWe cannot continue the way we are going – the most expensive and one of the most appalling services in Europe. We need investment and change now.
Louise Kemp, Haywards HeathI am disgusted at poor train services, high ticket prices and public money being paid into the hands of shareholders instead of funding public services. Re-nationalise.
Peter Staker, EdinburghI wasn’t around when British Rail was running, but when I see other European countries with railways of a quality almost unrecognisable to us in Britain, I want BR.
Michael Griffiths, ManchesterPrivatisation is just an out-and-out rip-off.
Douglas Isbell, DorchesterThe safety of rail travel is being put at risk more than ever before all in the name of profit. Since it was all privatised, removing guards will only cause more problems.
Eileen Quilter Williams, KetteringOther countries that have very successful and well-run railways are state-owned, so privatisation has not delivered efficiency, good value or good service.
Benjamin Parmentier, LondonNo need to comment – the past 5 years speak for themselves.
Stuart Ogden, IlkleyPrivatisation is not working for the passengers, employees of train companies or taxpayers. Bringing back public ownership would be much better.
Debbie Waldon, BrightonIf we’d subsidised BR the way we subsidise the private companies it would have been the best service in the world.
