Sharon Borthwick, LondonOur rail, our gas, our electricity, our commons, our streets in the hands of profiteers. I hope they shall soon perish.
Jo Turner, LeedsBeeching’s rationalised railway made commercial competition impossible as each route is is a monopoly. The only sane way to operate this is as a nationalised entity.
Andrew Robertson, LondonPrivatisation is not working. It’s cost us billions and then we have to pay through the nose for tickets too.
Maya Ring, SomptingThe rail network is a mess. Bring it back to the public. Privatisation has not worked.
Daniel Shooman, BangorTrains should be cheap and reliable and all the income should be re-invested to continuously improve the service.
Cecilia Ballesteros, HovePublic transport in public hands.
Charlotte Warne Thomas, LondonFed up with the swindle of private corporations creaming off public subsidy and providing shoddy service!
John Robertson, ReigateBring back British Rail.
Gurmeet Singh, LeedsWe need to save our billions from going to European railway companies and invest in our railways for a better service.
Karen Haywood, ChesterfieldNo doubt HS2 will be privatised once the tax payer has financed this white elephant.
Daniel Bourn, CanterburyOur fares are so much higher than everyone else’s in Europe. Canterbury – Swansea is £90. It’s time for change!
Robert Carr, WivenhoeFor the benefit of the people.
Richard Morgan, BradfordWe’ve had enough of companies taking profits and under-investing. All profits, responsibility and decisions should be the Government’s on behalf of the population.
Sue Stewart, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhen returning from mainland Europe by train, I am always embarrassed by the contrast, the high prices and tattiness of our un-nationalised railways compared to the SNCF.
Brian Binns, HarrogateWe must stop treating the railways as a way of filling private pockets with taxpayers’ cash.
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.
Cecil Richardson, NottinghamPrivatisation benefits nobody except the fat cat bosses.
Sandra Foster, RainhamBritish Rail appeared to be more reliable and less costly.
Steve Greenwood, HeywoodThe sooner the better.
Jeanne Woodcraft, BerkhamstedI’m fed-up with subsidising this privatisation.
Mike Dempsey, GlenrothesAbsolute shambles since privatisation with massive amounts of money going to shareholders instead of being invested in the railway system of the UK.
John Morgan, FlitwickA very good campaign – all the best with your efforts.
John Pulman, LondonInfrastructure should be publicly-owned and run.
Ellie Rigby, LondonBring back British Rail.
Gary Tallant, LiversedgeBillions wasted in annual share dividends which could be used to improve rail service.
Robert McCombe, HawardenStop pouring public money into private pockets.
Eric Sargeant, DerbyIt makes sense.
Colin Rolfe, ChelmsfordThis needs to be back in the public sector. Why should tax payers keep bailing out these companies and then pay through the nose to line their pockets?
Jonathan Gulliford, Merthyr TydfilThe railways belonged to us before they were sold off. Re-nationalise British Rail and use any profits to re-invest in the infrastructure, not line the pockets of the rich.
Tim Perry, LondonSNCF, DB, SNCB, rail in Denmark, the Netherlands etc. All work very well, are bang up-to-date, and are cheaper, with plenty of investment and modernisation. Why not BR?
