Lyn Edwards, WatfordWe need a joined up transport system.
Terry Marshall, DoncasterStart using commercial nous instead of political dogma and keep the East Coast line in public ownership.
Mark Jordan, Port TalbotPrivatisations were always implemented so that friends of the Party were able to become fat cats.
Lucy Renton, LondonThe train service in this country is vastly overpriced, ticketing system labyrinthine, and not fit for purpose.
Caz MoweAbout time.
Eunice Wormald, NuneatonI always thought Labour should re-nationalise all our services as well as BR.
Ivan Merino, PocklingtonGet rid of the private sector bureaucracy and waste from the national network.
John Gibbins, NottinghamThe East Coast Mainline before Virgin/Stagecoach was worker-run and made £1 billion in 5 years. A better service and low complaints.
Ian BradshawReliable rail network required.
Rob Hopkins, Totnes, Devon.Wonderful to see this happening. Bring back British Rail (although with better time-keeping and better sandwiches.) All power to this campaign.
Jordan Walker, DarwenBring back a rail company that actually cares for its passengers and employees.
Michele Bateman, WrexhamBring British Rail back into public ownership, so we can have proper railway system again.
Elizabeth Cunningham, NorwichHow are you supposed to have a flourishing and prosperous civilization if you cannot get anywhere?
Elisabeth Winkler, BristolThese are our trains and we need them. No one should be making vast profits at our expense. Also we need a unified network not a segmented one.
Varrie Blowers, BedfordI am particularly concerned that the Government proposes to privatise East Coast trains and am against this.
Anne Roberts, BrodickI agree with all previous sentiments.
Marko Lauten, HI’d like to see the railway in public ownership again – in Germany as well as in the UK.
David Melville Wingrove, EdinburghIn the shameless legacy of the Blair and Thatcher years, the Great Rail Rip-Off ranks among the worst. Re-nationalise now.
William Paul Brook, CullercoatsBeeching got it wrong in the 60s and the Tories got it wrong in the 90s. We need a unified rail transport system for the UK.
Karen Fairhurst, ManchesterRe-nationalise our railways so we can once again be a united power on the rails.
Dawn Curtis, LiskeardAs a regular user of British railways and a British citizen I want British Rail to belong to the great British public.
Maris Ozols, LondonSurely some of the Beeching closed lines may now have become economic to reopen.
Graham Finch, RyeThe Tories thought nationalised rail didn’t work. The French thought it did and bought into our railways. Re-nationalise British Rail so we all can profit.
Michelle Hornsey, LeedsPrivatisation doesn’t work. This fiasco is all the proof we need.
Henriette McPartlin, MissionPublic transport is more sustainable.
Alison Harris, PontefractRailways and other forms of public transport should be subsidised by the state for the benefit of the users and employees and not for shareholders in private companies.
Beth Neale, WarminsterBring it back.
Jennifer Gray, SelbyI travelled with British Rail for many years and it was always good value and the best service. They should have left British Rail alone.
Vincent Gould, SolihullFares are much too high, and the service is inadequate. Re-nationalise now.
Sarah Edgar, LiverpoolRail costs are too high, especially compared to France, for example.
