Jen Tierney, SouthportIn these days of overcrowded roads and polluting automobiles, we need an affordable, clean and comfortable rail network. Money should be ploughed into providing this.
Saul Blake, CambridgeBring back people over profit.
Jack Parkinson, MaltonDue to the high numbers of delays and cancellations, TransPennine should be stripped of its franchise. In fact, the entire railways should be re-nationalised.
David FairclothWe all need to spread the word and get as many people as possible to support the campaign!
Meg Fabian-Peacock, IlfracombeBring back British Rail.
Richard Steer, BirminghamSomething has to be done.
Irene Coleman, LeedsI want East Coast Rail to stay in public hands and then the rest of the network to follow.
Ciaran Brooks, IvybridgeWhy plough taxes in for shareholders to take the profits?
Emma Kraus, BracknellCome on, let’s join the Spirit of ’45.
Pat Campton, HullThese people are ripping off the British public big time. Most of us can no longer afford to go anywhere by train. The pricing system is ludicrously complicated.
Harry White, BarnsleySafe transport is better.
Rona Sharp, IpswichPrivatisation has delivered disjointed services and poor value for money. We can do better than this.
Jan Smith, NelsonThere is a crying need to make public transport more affordable. Re-nationalisation of rail is one way to do this.
Stewart Bramman, DoncasterThe railways are farcical. Stop this fragmented system and bring back common sense.
Tim Gomersall, LeedsTime to end this profiteering. Free markets are proving themselves an unsuitable way to run basic public infrastructure, as one would expect when the market is captive.
Peter Ashcroft, HuntingdonBritish Rail was fractured when de-nationalised by the earlier government, and must be re-united for financial good.
John Hastie, PrestonI worked for British Rail from 1976. I’m still working in the industry and it’s a wasteful disjointed shambles.
Simon Blackmore, ManchesterWhy do we have such an expensive and antiquated rail system ? Bring back British Rail.
Sheraz Ahmad, BoltonPrices have increased and yet even fewer services are run from Bolton. There is no justification for this.
Sandra Cunliffe, ColdstreamAny profit made should be re-invested into the service not go to private companies. East Coast rail was great. I can’t believe they lost the franchise.
Paul BrightWe need to bring back British Rail for the sake of our international competitiveness.
Andrew Mullen, LondonCapitalism is meant to be about private firms taking risks for reward. The rail network is about the public taking all the risk and all the debt. Re-nationalise.
Chris Brown, Wimborne MinsterRail services need to be delivered by a unitary authority which will save duplication, increase safety for employees and passengers and focus upon developing services.
Will Benton, Godalming£4,116 for an annual season ticket to work – 20% of my income. What for? Slow trains, sitting on the floor and heated carriages in the summer. BBBR I say!
Roger Chiswick, HuddersfieldRail privatisation has been a disaster.
Sam Pinington, BlackpoolWe need our railways brought back on track. Privatising the railway has not worked.
Gregor ThomsonEnough is enough. The current situation needs to change.
Leonidas Kounoupias, BrightonThe rail industry has to be re-nationalised.
Liz Annetts, DerbyWe need a unified nationalised railway.
