Christine Clifford, LondonWe need completely joined up railways with all profit reinvested.
Sasha Farooqi, LondonPlease bring back British Rail – we need it now more than ever and upgrade it to faster rail like the Toronto Transit Trains built by Bombardier. – https://www.metrolinx.co
Jeff Lewis, WarringtonThe current situation is a ruinously expensive absurd mess.
James Woodburne, LiverpoolI’m fed up with getting ripped off by these big private companies.
Eleanor Levin, LancasterPrivatisation of the railways never made any sense. Railways are expensive to run and don’t make profit so the state has to subsidise them whatever.
Hannah Bloom, LeedsThe publicly owned East Coast railway is making money for the country. Let them all do that.
David Zipfell, King’s LynnIt’s time to end privatisation. As each franchise ends, return it to a public run railway at no cost to taxpayers.
Cyril Osborne, BoltonI think everyone has had enough. I know of constant fare increases, overcrowded trains and delays due to staffing levels.
JamesAt my local station there are no staff after 11am. The platforms are ill-maintained, railings missing and graffiti and litter everywhere.
Brian Morton, RedcarPublicly owned buses would be a return to better things as well..
Kevin Walsh, BusheyPrivatisation of the railways is far more expensive to run than the unified British Rail ever was.
George Adamson, BellshillStop the profits going to the fat cats and put towards running a safe and cheaper railway.
A J Allan, East LothianThis debacle has been going on for too long, let’s make a change.
William Harris, ManchesterRail transport should be counted as a social service.
Roger Chiswick, HuddersfieldRail privatisation has been a disaster.
Nigel Street, EmsworthSouthern Railway demonstrates exactly why we should bring back British Rail.
Lindsay Gutteridge, ChesterfieldPrivatisation has not improved efficiency, cost, or performance. It has in fact made all these things worse and made life unnecessarily complicated
Robert Gordon, LiverpoolIt’s time we the taxpayers have more say on how our money is spent.
Mathew Taylor, ManchesterPlease re-nationalise the rail network.
Michael Letwin, Brooklyn NYPrivatisation is not progress.
Michael Kingsnorth, LondonPrivately-run public transport is simply not working. I never had any issues with BR. Bring it back.
Tola Dabiri, WatfordAs soon as possible
Glen Turner, WarringtonThe Tory sell-off of the UK infrastructure has not worked. It’s time to get it back.
Marc Ackland, SheernessIt’s wrong that a private company should own a national service and profit out of chaos.
Sophia James, ReadingThis is long overdue. Private profits never belong in public services.
Haris Loupidis, BussageFewer cars, more trains, happier planet, happier humans.
Axel Blackston, RedhillI will join your fight for freedom.
Steve Goddard, CrawleyRe-nationalisation could be designed to benefit passengers, workers and small/medium size companies as well through fair non-cartel competition. Fewer lazy fat cats.
Paul Simmonds, NorwichPeople before profit.
Sandra Barr, StevenageEast Coast trains were a fantastic service and needed to stay in the public sector. How dare this government sell it off to Virgin?
