Simon Morris, Potters BarAs a commuter I’m sick and tired of being robbed blind every January. Plough the profits back into the service, not shareholders’ pockets.
William Smith, ManchesterI stand with Labour against rip-off Northern Rail.
Aubrey Stafford, RetfordPlease keep up the pressure on these stupid politicians.
Leighton Lewis, AberdarePrivatisation only lets ministers obtain public funds to line their pockets.
O J Donnelly, AldershotExpand our railways to where people need to go and not just where it is profitable. Get people off the roads and save the environment. Bring back and expand motor-rail too.
Tony Armstrong, DoncasterYou just have to look at the money these CEOs of TOCs pay themselves and the countries that the profits go back to just to see that private ownership is not the best.
Oak Weld, ColchesterYes, keep the mega-profits in this country. Come on – it makes sense.
Wendy Freebourne, BathPlease re-unify British Rail and make the services accessible and affordable to all of the people, and re-open the stations that were closed down because we need them.
Philip Mullen, LeedsThe fragmented nature of the privatised rail network benefits neither passengers nor the taxpayer – only rail shareholders.
Ian Gornall, PrestonPrivatise it now. Let’s get back to being a real railway again.
David Clarke, NottinghamIt makes sense unlike a certain political party.
Dan Girard, Newcastle Upon TyneBritish Rail is best for Britain.
Helen Cullivan, Hutton BrentwoodI have to use the train to get to and from work. They have used every excuse they can come up with.
Arun Prathapan, ChingfordTrains are for the public good, not private profit.
Helen Herridge, ConwyWhy when it is making money for the downtrodden taxpayer do they want to turn it over to losers?
Mary Newman, LondonThe service run by the train companies in Britain is embarrassing. Nowhere else in the world is rail travel so prohibitively expensive.
Les Leckie, CheadleFrench railways are nationalised and are generally considered better than ours. Why not ours?
Colin Ure, Houghton-le-SpringIt should not have gone in the first place.
Graham Bridge, NuneatonMy annual season ticket costs over £9000, more than my mortgage.
Edward Devlin, PrescotBritish Rail should never have been privatised. In my humble opinion and as far as I know, nobody voted for any politician to give this beautiful country away.
Natasha Richards, SalfordIt just makes sense to do this.
Christina Sosseh, Milton KeynesEver since it was privatised the cost to us has gone up, while the rail companies rake in millions in profits and subsidies for keeping it in shape. It shouldn’t be allowed.
Elin Gibbon, Wigginton, YorkSave our railway.
Enrico van Leeuwen, UtrechtI’m Dutch but it hurts to see what has happened to the great British railways.
Joe Shaw, ManchesterWe need to take back what is collectively ours and run it for the collective good and profit as a nation, for us and for our visitors, not just for the 1% who profit from us.
Dara Foody, HarrowAs a socialist I believe in production for use not for profit. Economic and social benefits of re-nationalisation in many areas, not just the railways, are very appealing.
Robert Slater, Herne BayNationalise the entire rail system, permanently.
Ann Pears, CambridgeMore people would use the railways if they were reliable, accessible and cost less.
Thomas John Wheeler, DyfedRe-nationalise our railways now to stop the above inflation fare rises!
Janette Kerr, ColefordBring back public ownership.
