Paul Llewellin, BristolStop privatising public services.
Mac Williams, ManchesterA national railway run democratically by the public for the public.
Alan Blackford, CrowboroughHaving a privatised railway means it is run for private profit and not to serve the public. We need to reduce car journeys.
Amanda Child, BroadstairsThey should not have been privatised in the first place.
Bren Cook, PrestonOur key utilities shouldn’t be in private hands.
Eva Fox-GThe privatised companies have now had long enough to show us absolutely clearly that the railways would be better publicly owned.
Alan Bettridge, LondonThe worst service since the great days of BR Southern Region.
William McKeating, BedfordThe sooner the better.
Rachel Wight, LondonThis could make such a difference to life for commuters.
Ashley Woosnam, NorthamptonRe-nationalize BR as soon as possible. I’m sick of ever-increasing ticket prices, whilst services get worse, together with the attitude of station staff.
Gemma Evans, CaerphillyPower to the people. Down with privatisation.
Kathy Ibbetson, MorpethDo not put the East Coast line into private operation. It works and is profitable. Bring back British Rail.
Alastair Allan, HaddingtonLet us get back to providing a railway that is for passengers and not shareholders, and a service that is not an embarrassment to Britain.
Tom McKeown, BirkenheadWithout the good infrastructure left by BR, the railways would be crippled by now.
Wendy Freebourne, BathPlease re-unify British Rail and make the services accessible and affordable to all of the people, and re-open the stations that were closed down because we need them.

Thomas Baldwin, DunfermlinePrivatisation has been a farce from the word go.
Angela Lumb, SelbyIt should never have been sold off at all.
Andrew Walker, YorkKeep East Coast mainline nationalised – it’s the best railway in the country.

Geoff Cummings, BournemouthAll utilities and public services should be working for the public and not to line the pockets of rich shareholders who know nothing and aren’t accountable.
Barbara Cowle, WirralYes to public ownership of British Rail. We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.
