Otto Linden, LydneyIt’s just getting ridiculous.
Ken Dixon, Harare, ZimbabweDe-privatisation and de-Beeching essential to the nation.
Richard Marsh, BridgwaterI never thought you would find me saying this, but let’s re-nationalise the network. It cannot be any worse. I’m an ex First Great Western passenger.
Eliot Lopes, Eischen – G.D. LuxembourgDoes support from overseas also count?
Gill Cookson, Sennen CoveRe-nationalising the railways is the only rational solution.
Danny Read, GooleNot necessarily British Rail but we need a less fragmented railway.
Joshua Outen, Milton KeynesWe need to bring the railway back to the people who can make the track for the next generation… Bring back British Rail.
Gerry Mooney, PaisleyRe-nationalise the railways now and plan for a long term investment in the most sustainable form of transport.
Barrie Pederson, TorontoI lived in the U.K. from 1971 to 1988 and still miss British Rail every time I am back in the country on a visit. I hope you’re successful, but it will be a long road.
Violet Seaward, LondonFares rising, delay, disruption and we have not got through another winter yet. Something needs to be sorted and quickly.
Dennis Fuller, LondonPrivatisation is, was and always will be about taking something from the general public and charging the general public an extortionate price for a service.
Roy Koerner, WylamDon’t put too much faith in Labour re-nationalising anything. The best pressure comes from passengers.
Anne Cowmeadow, Milton KeynesWhy can this government not learn the lesson of the East Coast? Not only has the public sector run this successfully but it has made a profit for the public purse.
Paul Nelson, LondonThe London train system desperately needs improving.
James Woodburne, LiverpoolI’m fed up with getting ripped off by these big private companies.
Saffron Swansborough, HerstmonceuxI heard about this campaign group on the Today programme recently. The spokesperson was terrific. I sympathise with the disgruntled Southern staff too.
David Shaw, SwindonRe-nationalise. It’s that simple.
Gerald Lock, MaestegBring back British Rail – this system is not working.
Alastair Rowe, Mylor BridgeHear hear.
Simon Collinge, LlangollenHalt the privatisation of the NHS as well.
Lewis Cox, LondonWe have the worst rail network in Europe. It’s time to undo the damage caused by Major’s privatisation. A network run for the many and not for the profits of a few.
Michael Goodings, SheffieldPrivatisation has brought no significant investment in the trains. Nationalise and put the profits back into the system.
Hugh Daniels, HenfieldWhatever happened to plans for a mixed economy, combining the best of private and publicly owned services?
Thomas Sutton, DerbyshireI had to get the train down to London the other day and it cost well over £100. Crazy! Why would anybody take the train given a choice?
Babel Wallace, LondonIt’s time we had more say on public services.
Catherine Routley, KingstonPut an end to vast profits for bosses to pocket.
Elizabeth Cross, ChichesterI long for the old days when the railways were run by people who were truly interested in their jobs and not run for greedy profiteers but for the passengers.
Christine Shield, MorpethA multi-part rail network makes neither logistical nor financial sense and neither does the ticket pricing.
Jonathan Butcher, SheffieldThe rail system in this country is a joke. Something needs to change.
Brian Reid, St. NeotsThe disconnect between infrastructure and operations and financial inefficiencies across the unnatural boundaries is plain daft.
