Laurence Poole, ClevedonWe need a cheaper, fairer railway system for all. The social impact of the railways should be priority and more branch lines should be reopened.
Clare Stemp, LeedsThe only way to give commuters better service and better value fares is to re-nationalise the UK’s railway. BBBR.
Tim Rauscher, WienI am from Austria and Britain needs British Rail.
Kerry Maghraoui, LeedsI used to go everywhere on British Rail. I took my children all over the country, but now I can barely afford a local trip or two even with a Senior Railcard. BR for me.
Colin Jarvis, BedfordThe current system is shambolic. Go to any mainline station where the mixed bag of livery, some even outdated, is a disgrace.
Mike Clement, BromyardThe present fragmentation of what truly was a national treasure is a real shambles.
Ali Joy, LeedsPrivatisation has given us a disjointed service that only benefits shareholders. If anyone can make the railways pay, so can the government.
Chris Allen, LondonIt’s about time we stop paying through the nose for sub-standard rail travel. Bring back British Rail and end this madness!
Sue Russell, BarnetVery soon our rolling stock and railways will be run by foreign countries. With the East Coast line the state has proved that it can operate at a profit.
Gwennan Thomas, LondonWe need a fairly priced, efficient public transport system that’s run for people and not for profit.
Rob Flint, NottinghamGreat campaign. Thanks for pushing it.
James Clark, GlasgowRe-nationalise BR.
Andy Welling, BristolHow long will it take the government to stop these vultures giving the public an awful service?
Neil Martin, RayleighPlease, please, please get rid of Abellio. They are a cancer on our railway, along with every other private operator.
June Carcsry-Stuart, EdinburghRe-nationalise our train service.
Andy Jones, HolmfirthReopen branch lines, e.g. Holmfirth.
Anna Harrison-Melville, AshfordThe responsibility for our railways should be in one hand and accountable to the people.
Robin Evans, PooleIt cannot happen too soon to simplify travelling in this country.
Jill Lepper, StagsdenI totally agree that we need a consolidated British Rail again run for passengers not private profit.
Ben Chivers, BristolIt makes the most sense for the railways to be run by one organisation, however, the less involvement by the government the better. They just mess it up.
Dale Shanley, BristolFirst are extortionate.
Keith Graham, East BoldonRepeat East Coast success across the nation.
Alex Coles, SouthamptonBBBR!
Matthew Ross Rachar, LondonWhat are we waiting for?
Rikki Ferguson, LondonNaked profiteering for private owners at the expense of rail travellers is wrong.
Tim Perry, LondonSNCF, DB, SNCB, rail in Denmark, the Netherlands etc. All work very well, are bang up-to-date, and are cheaper, with plenty of investment and modernisation. Why not BR?
A M Reeve, EdinburghIt would be much better in public ownership. Look at East Coast. It did very well in public ownership.
Dixon Lau, HatfieldTransport in UK should be run by British companies who have Britain’s best interest at heart, and not by companies mostly owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
Roslynn Turner, Londonthis was funded for the people by the people it should never have been a profit making private concern, which most people cannot afford.
Richard Hull, St Leonards-on-SeaKeep the profitable East Coast main line in public ownership.
