Mark Clough, BidefordWe need to make rail travel easier and less expensive. A revived British Rail should aim to achieve that.
David Shaw, SwindonRe-nationalise. It’s that simple.
Ian Beasley, Stoke-on-TrentOur services belong in public hands. No more private railways or bus services.
Carl Loben, BrightonThe experience with Southern Rail leaves us with no other choice..
Ann Spicer, CambridgeThey should never have privatised this in the first place. Let’s make it right
Rebecca Brown, BansteadIt’s ludicrous that Britain doesn’t have a fully-integrated rail system and that so-called public transport is, in fact, private.
Patricia Gray, BarnsleyIt should simply be re-nationalised now.
Talia Hunt, SalisburyTrains will never be a viable option until they are affordable.
Josh Cluderay, LondonHow about being able to travel across the country for less than it costs to fly to another country entirely?
Peter Whiteman, ChelmsfordIf it ain’t broke don’t fix it (according to your political views). Leave alone and away from the clutches of your financial cronies. It’s ours not yours.
Nigel Wootton, HitchinBritish Rail was a far better, better value and safer service than the current regime.
Pat Ferguson, NottinghamBring Back British Rail now.
Karen Reeve, BedfordThe most expensive and poorly run service in Europe and we’re trying to get people off the roads. It’s never going to happen with such a miserable rail experience that we have.
Richard Longhurst, LondonNot only the rail network but the whole of the transport network should be brought back into public hands.
David Hills, WorthingStop taking away things that have made Britain great.
Bob Hawkes, RomfordI can’t believe people think these companies want to put money into the system. They all want to take it out and that’s Tory policy.
Sarah Macdonald, MelbourneCompared to other countries our current situation is ludicrous. The railway should be for the benefit of the people not for the benefit of the corporations.
Jeremy Galbraith, AshfordBring back British Rail, and the sectorised branding.
Sheilagh Merrett, CamberleyTurn today’s disjointed, overcrowded railway system back into the best.
Carol Wilson, Saffron WaldenLet’s have a government with common sense. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently so.
Relsov Obshtestven, Sofia, BulgariaWe support you 100%. In Bulgaria government wants to sell our railways too and systematically to ruin our Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ).
Joy Cuff, TeddingtonBring back British Rail. I can remember when the trains were run for the convenience of the passengers not the money grabbing companies running the railways now.
Jonathan Alder, WenhastonAlthough it is probably bottom of this government’s agenda, for thousands of people the goal of having a railway system run for people as a service is fundamental.
Rosemary Morgan, BirminghamOur rail network should be seamless and better regulated for the benefit of the customers, not shareholders.
Zoe Kelly, Isle of WightAfter using the train system in Sweden I am horrified by the trains in the UK.
Andy Togneri, DerbyI was involved at the time privatisation started in the energy industry and have watched in amazement the mess Thatcher and her mates made of it. Let’s get it all back.
Kieran Shortt, TelfordThank you.
Terry Thomson, SwanseaInstead of wasting money on high speed rail, spend it on putting back all the branch lines to bring life back into the country, also creating lots more jobs.
Susan O’Brien, LancasterProfiteering from our infrastructure might be good for the profiteers but is not good for consumers or that old-fashioned notion of the ‘national interest’.
Mark Lauri, ReadingAll profits should go back into the railway not into private investors’ pockets. Railways should be subsidised and for the people not the wealthy.
