Robert Kennedy, ExeterRe-nationalise, re-nationalise, re-nationalise.
Sophie Lea Gerrard, StreathamWe need British Rail.
Nick Pike, WarringtonUnder the current system, no-one is accountable for the many flaws with the train system, which include high fares and overcrowding. This needs to end.
Robert Tudor, RedditchThe train operators are disgusting. We never had this problem under British Railways. You can’t keep running the railway as it stands today.
Michele Moatt, PenrithThe return of British Rail would be absolutely fantastic.
Robert Masters, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt’s a total waste of taxpayers’ money, which is going straight into the bank accounts of greedy people.
Wendy Squires, LutonThe East Coast Line proves that public is at least better. More public money going in now than before privatisation – to shareholders.
David Henderson, YorkDealing with all the different rail companies is hopelessly confusing.
Ewan Stewart, EdinburghAs a frequent user of rail transport and a strong believer in public ownership for public services I believe it is imperative that the railways are re-nationalised.
Janet Weston, CowesNever mind HS2 and HS3. Let’s just get the railways unified. BR was far from perfect, but at least fares didn’t have to include a payout for shareholders.
Ian Sambrook, BilstonTake back what is ours., which was stolen.
Helen Bright, LondonTrains are over-priced, over-crowded and never on time. Prices rise yet service get worse.
Christine Rogers, HastingsWhy should taxpayers subsidise these private companies in order for their shareholders to gain. Take them back now.
Paul Holdsworth, SheffieldGood luck.
James Fyrth, ReadingAnother failed endeavour where profit is put ahead of people. It’s totally unfit for purpose and should be run for the people who use it.
Brian Thomas, Pwllheli,They always did belong to the people and funded by the people. They should be set up along the same model as Waitrose – Quality and owned by the employees.
Lucy Renton, LondonThe train service in this country is vastly overpriced, ticketing system labyrinthine, and not fit for purpose.
Helen Ingham, LutonPrivatisation doesn’t work. Nationalisation does, if not interfered with by those with vested interests. Get the country moving and working properly again.
Ben Bailey, BrightonI agree that re-nationalising the railways is a common sense idea.
Paul Owenson, NottinghamSave our railway.
Sean DurneyEnd rewarding shareholder profits for high price tickets and cost driven, unreliable services. Invest in the railways and get cars and trucks off the roads.
John Walker, BradfordPeople, not profit.
Angi Stokes, PortisheadTake a look at the French system where trains are clean and run on time.
Derek Gardner, PeterboroughTransport should be for the benefit of the public – not for private profit.
Liam Woods, BrightonPrivatisation of British Rail was the biggest farce our country has ever created.
Rosemary Chaffer, DurhamIt’s been long enough to prove that privatisation does not work better.
Elizabeth Cleere, RyeThe railways should be available to everyone, and serve every part of the country. They should not be another way for a handful of already rich people to get even richer.
Jake Bolton, BlackburnI think that privatisation has been promoted purely for political expediency and short-term gain. The politicians who allow this aren’t living with the consequences.
Anthony Duggan, BromleyNetwork Rail cannot run trains or do any engineering so I’m not quite sure what they do.
James Scott, HullBring back British Rail.
