KC Mull, BanburyChiltern amended a perfectly good timetable with disastrous results.
Hazel Simmons, HastingsIt’s well overdue. It gets my vote and you might actually get people using it again other than for work – and save the planet too.
John Kennedy, YorkThe land, the tracks and the rolling stock were paid for by people who had fought and died for this United Kingdom and was stolen from their descendants.
Maureen Taft, EastbourneThe free market has not worked, so let’s get back to what did.
Daniel Jeter, TruroBring it back.
James Lynch, AllertonThe present system is overpriced and overcomplicated. Why should taxpayers’ money be going to Richard Branson?
Edith Hawley, NottinghamAll power to your elbow.
Julia Logie, HeathfieldPrivatisation of the rail network has devastated this country. I think the entire infrastructure of the UK is falling apart bit by bit. It’s very sad to see this happening…
Adrian Challinor, LondonOh, please. Anything but Southeastern.
Sara Kadar, DerryBasic public services should never be used for private profit.
Edwin Beecroft, LyndhurstI’m fed up with private companies trying to run this country like a private company.
Ali Joy, LeedsPrivatisation has given us a disjointed service that only benefits shareholders. If anyone can make the railways pay, so can the government.
Chris Busby, CrawleyStop the chaos and fare rises. Re-unite!
Stuart Jones, LincolnEast Coast has worked fine under public ownership recently. Why change it?
Steve Walsh, YorkIt’s a bloody farce now.
Nick Brooks, NottinghamshireJust one more thing where the public are ripped off, to the benefit of the fat cat bosses.
Nicholas Flynn, CroydonPublic monies will be required in the event of railway company failure, so it’s best to assume public ownership now.
Ianwit Thorpe, TorpointIt simply hasn’t worked for the people who use the service.
Dave Simms, Yeovil.This must stop. The operators want to make a private profit. When there’s a loss in the offing they hand the keys back. Private profit – public losses.
Alison Gibney, St AlbansWe need continuous long-term investment in our rail services and the only way to achieve that is through public ownership.
Martyn Lyman, LeicesterI support the idea of bringing back British Rail because it is ridiculous to think it’s cheaper to fly than to take the train. We’ve had enough, Cameron.
Jojo Yexley, LondonTotally unfair and disgraceful.
Elizabeth Hudson, HerefordIn the days of BR, you were never chucked off a working train to wait for the next one, just because the operator thought they might lose money.
Anita Mannion, St AlbansI absolutely agree we should re-nationalise our railways.
Christine Dellen, TodmordenIt would be great to get rid of the mess we’ve got now, and have a unified service again.
Paul Smith, LeicesterPublic transport is as it says for the public and as such should be owned by the public.
Alan Smith, AshbournePrivatising BR was an act of idiocy.
Gerard Moore, LondonPrivatised railways are a Victorian concept.
Senthil Kumaran Raja Kumar, BournemouthPrivatisation is a capitalist farce that benefits shareholders to the detriment of the average passenger. Bring back British Rail!
Nick Monaghan, CastlefordIt’s really important that we get a rail service run for people and not for private profit, clean, efficient and affordable.
