James Grigg, LincolnPublic transport should be run for the good of the people, not profit. It’s as simple as that.
Tim Baker, West BridgfordEnough is enough. As a regular user of trains who experiences the ridiculous pricing, it’s time to get some standardising back to this public service.
Paul Craft, New RomneyStop selling off our national assets for a quick pound to balance the books. Bring back British Rail.
Kevin Humphrey, LancingIt needs to change and has to change. Bring back British Rail for the people.
Shannon Kilday, GlasgowThis scrappy service is not worth the amount of money I spend on it.
Shannon Cream, Long Beach, CaliforniaI rode BR Deltics as a child every weekend with my grandmother, from Luton to St. Pancras.
Phil Teer, BrightonRail travel is too important to people and to the economy to be left in the hands of profit-driven companies.
Andy VaughanI am a regular passenger and I hate the word ‘customer’!
Joe Bell, CarlisleBring back nationalisation and pride in our railways.
Stephen Riley, ClevelandA complete and utter shambles caused by incompetent and corrupt politicians.
Dennid Leary, LiverpoolI have believed for many years that British Rail should be brought back. I’m sure a lot of Conservative voters must now agree that it was a big mistake to privatise.
Sam Sadjady, LondonThe service, the atmosphere, the filth and, above all, having your pants pulled down every day!
Margaret Robinson, Yarm-on-TeesA nationalised railway system would put people before profits.
Becky Farrell, WinchesterWe have an inconsistent rail service which is greatly overpriced.
Mhairi Grealis, LondonPrivatisation has brought huge profits, costing the taxpayer more for a terrible service with shocking fares. The Tories need to stop bank-rolling their mates.
Eddie Walker, WorkingtonBring back BR so we can lead like the rest.
Nicola Riley, RedcarIt would be good to have it back.
Dominic Bridge, ManchesterLet’s Bring back British Rail and bring down fares.
Timothy Boland, LondonWhy does the government pay our tax money to subsidise the railway and yet the train operators make millions in profit?
Derrick Joyce, Newbiggin by the SeaThe privatisation of British Rail is a failure and, like many other utilities, needs to be nationalised urgently.
Samuel Vickers, BarnsleyBritish Rail – better service, better value, better values.
Christine Barratt-Phelps, StalybridgeIt would be in the British peoples’ interest to have it back as British Rail. The Government should never have sold it off as it was one of the citizens’ properties.
Mick Knights, Waltham CrossTransport for the people by the people, not for profit. All service industries must be publicly owned and all monies ploughed back into the service.
William White, WendoverThey should never have been sold off in the first place. It now costs more to travel by rail in the UK than it does to fly.
Sana Nagi, LiverpoolBring back British Rail.
Peter Earl, LewesPrivatisation has been a failure, destroying the nation’s public transport and placing considerable additional costs on all users.
David Stower, WatfordBring Back the system that worked, get rid of these private companies who are bleeding the travelling public dry.
Robert Jones, BedfordEverything was so much better under British Rail. You didn’t need to know which train operating company you had to use because it was all British Rail.
Kelly Norman, WellingtonExtortionate prices for horrendous services.
