David Whalley, OldhamPrivatisation was a huge mistake. A re-nationalised railway would be much better as long as the government invests the money needed.
Vincent MorrisPut it right. Like everything else, capitalism has gone so so wrong.
Keith Donald, HarlowPrivate railway sucks.
Suzanne Jefford, LeicesterStop the ridiculous system where it’s cheaper to travel by car to London than it is by train, leaving empty trains and overcrowded motorways.
Simon Kingston, WolverhamptonWe need rail travel to be cheaper than going by car. That would be true step forward.
Chris OwenI entirely support your aims and now understand why you reversed the logo!
Bernard Skinner, WelwynGood luck.
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.
Lucy Caithness, LondonThe lack of communication between private network operators has left train journeys devoid of the human touch that it once had as British Rail.
Mike Roberts, FavershamI want a railway that serves the public not its shareholders, with a fair, sensible and understandable ticketing system.
James Gannon, ManchesterGive it back to the people.
Amanda Ure, LeicesterAs a teen, I wanted to work for British Rail as a public service which was environmentally sound. That chance was stolen from me by the Tories.
Rory Douglas, KendalI want to be able to take pride in our rail network.
Roger Theaker, LiverpoolPrivatisation has been a disaster for passengers and a bean feast for rail companies.
Sarah Williams, FavershamHere we have HS1, which is great if you want to go to St Pancras, but our other services have been downgraded and, of course, HS costs more.
Sonia Gray-Clough, HarrogateThe ownership of the railways should never have been separated. The railway experts said it would not work and it doesn’t.
David Johnston, GlenrothesIt would be better with British Rail all with the same colours.
Neil BayramBring back British Rail.
Paul Rechnitz, LondonPrivatisation of the rail network has been a disaster.
Andy Charles, DursleyProfits for services, not for shareholders.
Ethan Storey, ChichesterGet rid of Southern.
Colin Rolfe, ChelmsfordThis needs to be back in the public sector. Why should tax payers keep bailing out these companies and then pay through the nose to line their pockets?
Paul McDonnell, MordenProfits back into the running of the railways rather than shareholders’ pockets makes more sense than what stands at the moment.
Eleni Stavrou, DerbyPublic services are becoming a system of exploitation against the people who must use them, and in fact work for them.
Sharon Burton Fletcher, RedditchHow can anything dismantled and fragmented be as efficient, stable and manageable as something whole. Unite it or give it all to Richard to run.
Jim Pryce, AsfordbyIt should be back to government control. There are too many privateers and profit-seekers.
Mike Barnard, RetfordWhy give the profits to management buy-out teams?
Tina Comparini, Southampton20 years of above inflation price hikes and I’m travelling in trains, not properly cleaned, with broken dirty toilets.
Keith Allinson, BlaydonThe sooner the better. Stop fat cats ruining our country.
Adam Lewins, DoncasterBring it back as soon as possible.
