Lorraine Hewitt, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe need a cohesive reliable train service that is affordable to users. Privatisation has not worked.
Timothy Nicholas Brown, BanburyConsidering we have just about the highest train fares in Europe, re-nationalisation would seem to be a wise decision.
Huw Jones, FavershamReverse the Tory money-grabbing agenda.
Paul Ross, LetchworthPeople don’t want to see the true cost of privatisation. They have heads buried in the sand.
Kenneth Moore, BradfordIt couldn’t be worse than the present ridiculously complex arrangement and other countries seem to do it well.
David Younger, Chester-le-StreetPrivatisation of publicly-run companies has never worked and will never work.
Mark Parker, ThatchamTicket price variations are too confusing and expensive
Laurence Price, HorshamPrivatising the rail network was a scandal. We have the highest cost rail network in Europe, now partly owned by overseas governments. East Coast mainline worked well.
Steve Taylor, CoventryA public service should be owned and run for the public. If private enterprise want to have a go at running the railways let them start from scratch.
John Roe, YorkAn excellent and necessary campaign. The government should be responsible for the railways.
DarrenThe National Rail tagline “Britain’s train companies working together” is quite laughable and out of touch with the railway as it is today.
Mark Harvey, ExeterI hope this campaign makes an impact. Fare prices have become utterly ridiculous.
Daniel Collett, NottinghamStop raising fares. Stop subsidising fat cats.
Marguerite Morgan, Byron BayBritish Rail served a huge and beautiful part of my life. Do not lose it.
Alex LancasterIt’s time to stop subsidising fares in France, Germany, Holland, Japan and others with our franchises and start running a system that works for Britain.
Tom Yates, WiganHow can companies dependent upon subsidies turn over such large profits? Pre-grouping railways didn
Gary Ellam, StaffordRail priority should be to benefit the country and the people.
Elaine Walters, LondonMost definitely.
Oliver Smith, Wold NewtonIt will benefit everyone and leave our economy better off.
Alice SavilleThe train ticket lottery is madness, and the obvious lack of true competition between companies is hindering rail transport development.
John TaylorAway with all the privatisation, the agencies, bring it ALL back in house like it should of been since the Railtrack disaster.
Steven Hands, NottinghamBR was created because the private railways were a shambles, as they are now. A properly run service will benefit the country and the economy, rather than a greedy few.
Ian Beasley, Stoke-on-TrentOur services belong in public hands. No more private railways or bus services.
Rebecca Gould, CardiffI spend one fifth of my wages on the worst, totally unreliable, rudest service. They get it wrong all the time, but if you do, heaven forbid.
Lily Wiles, LondonI hate foreign ownership of our trains.
James McDonnell, NottinghamA rail network, run for the people, owned by the people.
Phil Sherwin, LondonBring back British Rail.
Andrew Strong, Llandrindod WellsHow can a return ticket with one change be more expensive than the same journey broken up into four journeys?
Damian Toal, BrightonI’m sick to death of funding shareholders’ lifestyle over service.
Vi Dunning, Thornton-CleveleysIt’s disgusting greed, charging ever higher prices for a sub-standard service.
