Robert Myrie, LondonIncrease rolling stock and reduce fares for everyone. Link into the EU rail network, to give more choice to all.
Paul Jones, Worcester ParkTimes have changed. Publicly-run lines have proved successful and profitable. This is almost too obviously the way forward.
Pam Heynes, CarnforthIt was doing okay, so why was it changed?
Annie Thompson, PortsmouthStop the theft.
Stephen Lauder, WatfordThe private train operating companies should be nationalised when their contracts are up for renewal, then aim for similar standards as in France, Germany and Switzerland.
Thomas Murphy, South Woodham FerrersBig delays at least 2 or 3 times a week not acceptable.
Susan Black, YorkPlease respect what the ordinary rail-using public are saying.
Sally Morley, NottinghamI support the Bring back British Rail campaign.
Nicholas Figgis, LondonPrivate railways are an expensive scam.
John Appelqvist, ScarboroughSmash all privatisation.
Mark Carter, BournemouthIt’s a no-brainer to all, apart from those that seek to make profit and cut jobs in the process and the politicians that look after their interests.
Chris Davies, IlfordTry getting onto the weekday 08.09 to Liverpool Street at Ilford and tell me that this is a satisfactory state. Then see how long before you can get on an LS bound train.
Hilary Hillier, BeestonPlease bring back British Rail.
Joe Stamper, Burton on TrentNationalisation to offer flexibility and protect rail travel at an affordable price for all.
Phillip Crosby, LondonRail companies are above the government and above their customers. They are not held responsible for their poor service. They cripple the country.
Rob Vickery, BrightonI use the Brighton mainline daily for my commute. First Capital Connect are by far the worst and latest trains I’ve ever been on in England.
Chris McDonald, LondonThe fact that the taxpayer is now subsidising the railways to a greater extent than when they were in public hands and paying far steeper fares is a joke.
John Pinney, BrightonMy season ticket costs over £4,300. My journey is disrupted every day now by signal failure or broken-down trains. Where is the investment in infrastructure?
Elaine Dyson, HolywellThis is a public service. Give it back to the public.
Tony Fielding-Raby, LincolnBritish Rail was cheaper and more efficient.
John Kelly, DurhamStop wasting public money and take the contracts into public ownership when they run out
Jonathan Kershaw, SalisburyPrivate companies’ primary duty is to their shareholders, not passengers. People (workers) and service should come first, not profit.
Greg Doull, CwmbranPrivatisation in all services has been a disaster. We’re paying lots more for very much less.
Bee Warren, NottinghamPrivatisation has never improved anything because fragmented systems are like a bunch of unrehearsed musicians playing without a conductor – disharmonious chaos!
Maggie Cochrane, YorkKeep East Coast nationalised and add the rest of the network as it becomes available.
Phil Sefton, Miskin, PontyclunLet common sense prevail and break up the jolly club of profiteering companies with no competition. Essential services in public ownership is the best way forward.
Denis Rumbold, LakeProfit should be re-invested, not creamed off and given to shareholders.
Natalie Morton, LeedsIt really should be a national service that is not for private profit.
Danielle Warman, WatfordEvery single day the train is delayed, every single day I don’t get a seat. For £3000 a year, I expect better. I absolutely hate London Midland. They have failed.
Suzi Mitchell, Shepton MalletDriving by car solo to London – paying the car running costs/congestion charge / expensive west end car park / driving home is still cheaper than by train.
