Peter Da Roche, ManchesterPeople before profit.
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.
David Phillips, EastbourneThe sooner the better.
Colton McKenna, KilwinningThe British people deserve British Rail back.
Steve Young, WinchesterIt’s a no brainer. You can’t have an integrated state transport policy without state ownership of the infrastructure.
Praveen Kumar Thampi, Chennai, IndiaThis is highly relevant in India, where the new dispensation is actively promoting privatisation of Indian Railways. Wishing you all the best in your endeavours..
Terry Wood, ChesterBring it on.
Tony Nicholson, SouthamptonGet rid of the layers of parasites.
Martin Ludford, PeterboroughAt last, I have found a campaign group dedicated to re-nationalisation of the rail network. The current system in the hands of private ownership is totally dysfunctional.
Maureen Sandland, YorkIf no-one was making a profit out of our railways, the income could be re-invested, creating a better rail system which would benefit everyone.
Roger Bastin, YorkLet’s win East Coast to start with.
Stephen James Lemon, PortsmouthBritish Rail was far more profitable and efficient and affordable than the current system. Thus we need it back for the future.
Iain Macdonald, CoventryAnother Tory cock-up.
Moira Uddin, Berwick-upon-TweedI’ve just had the most appalling journey recently, with every leg of it fraught with rail company failings. Please bring back British Rail.
Susan Cole, North ShieldsIt should never have been sold off and has never been successful. Bring back to public ownership and start the freight and post going by rail again.
Sheila Loffill, KnaresboroughIt’s time this government realised that private isn’t always better than public. It’s time to re-nationalise.
Maggie Harrison, WashingtonI think our rail network would be better and more user-friendly if it was nationalised.
James Dinsdale, MiddlesbroughPrivatisation does not work. The gas and electricity proves that we are all being ripped off.
Jean Meek, NottinghamGive us our railways back.
Derek Wood, OakworthStop giving loads of money to shareholders.
David Ritman, UckfieldA service not fit for purpose. Cancelled trains at the drop of a hat.
Graham Warwick, ColchesterCommuting should be supported by a public service like power and water. Stop the money junkies taking over everything that once was part of social support for the citizen.
Ruben Osborne, BathIt will be brilliant for us train spotters and I can describe the fail of nationalisation in 2 words – Virgin Trains.
Enrico Policardo, LondonThe longer this goes on, the harder it will be for people in this country. We want a functional and fair railway system like the rest of Europe.
Jean Gilliard, BexleyJust bring back British Rail.
Harrold NoskBring it back.
William Hood, Port TalbotService for all before profit for a few
Ian Carnew, BristolKeep up the good work.
Malcolm Martyn, ShrewsburyBuy back all that the Tories have privatised and, in no time at all, you will see costs and pricing come down considerably.
Frank Nicholas AdamNetwork Southeast was an inspiration and success during the British Rail era, with railway improvements across London and the South East.
