David Moore, BanburyBring back British Rail has my support.
Martin Jones, Builth WellsNot another cent in public subsidy.
Ben WalshIt is about time we re-nationalised railway system. It has been privatised for far too long!
Jenni Dixon, BirminghamTrain fares are extortionate. It is ridiculous that it was cheaper for me and one friend to hire a car to go to Newcastle than to go on the train.
Edmond Bourke, BasildonPublic services should not be in private hands.
Karen McDonald, ManchesterInstead of subsidising the railway, and enabling a few people to get big bonuses, and costing the taxpayer a fortune, it’s more economical to re-nationalise the railways.
Gerry McCartney, JohnstoneI’m keen to be involved in local transport campaigns. Please put me in touch with local union and other campaigners.
Derek Pearson, Southend-on-SeaSimply take contracts back in-house as they expire. It is so simple.
Chris McNicholas, Newcastle-upon-TyneI’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna pay it anymore.
Ian McGuffie, SedgefieldLet’s stop the creaming-off of all the profits from railways then handing them back as unprofitable. Re-nationalise now.
Kate Steaggles, SouthamptonI’m sick of standing only trains at peak time after the companies fail to put the right number of coaches on with no explanation.
Michael Atkinson, SheffieldThe privatised network results in a sterile environment in which profit comes before anything else.
Robert Holland, NottinghamA unified network has to make sense.
Ashley Martin, BromleyThe only way to reform BR. Only Mrs T would turn to the Washing Machine.
Daniel Haynes, HalsteadRe-nationalising the railways will ultimately help the environment.
Karen Roberts, WilmslowI think it would be better to have a cohesive system with a more standardised level of service and quality and straight-forward pricing.
Jonathan Rose, BasildonSuch a big part of Britain, needs to be British again.
Julie Wassmer, KentI’m sick of paying for Network Rail contracting out and giving themselves massive pay-outs. They are environmental vandals to boot. Bring back a proper nationalised railway.
Margaret Hunt, DoncasterEast Coast line has proved that a state-run railway can succeed and make money, so let’s keep it nationalised and extend railway nationalisation.
Clive Pritchard, Brighton.Major stole my railway system. l want my trains back.
Joanne Turner, CamberleyBring back British Rail.
Daniel Miller, LondonPrivatised rail still relies upon public money as well as fares, so only the profit has been privatised, not the cost.
Jenny Alder, HailshamI have been saying this for years and wondered how to make it happen. The rail system is too disjointed and not doing what it needs to for those that use it. Bring it on.
Neville Redvers-Mutton, RamsgateSeason ticket costs are unsustainable – complete 21st Century re-think of UK railways NFP funding model required.
Andrew Blakeway, GlasgowThis would help more than 40% of the population on really low incomes to afford travel, also increase the value of British industry and British travel.
Bill PorterBringing back British rail is the only solution to this savage destruction of our railways.
Chris Harmer, NailsworthTrains should be for public service not private profit. Our early train to London is £140 and a later train is £35. Pensioners cannot afford this opportunism.
Mike Lawlor, GloucesterBritish Rail was excellent – it just lacked investment and political commitment. BBBR,
Kieran Pearman, LondonSo it could be cheaper.
Munir U, BedfordBring it back and simplify it, and stop greedy owners creaming it.
