Maureen Hunter, Cleator MoorLet’s share the efficiencies and the profits – not just the abyss of subsidies. Fair shares for all.
Alan Masson, DunbarYet another delayed journey on a network unfit for purpose because it is run for private profit.
Nick Adams, BirminghamWe need a simple, affordable ticketing structure coupled with all the trains, tracks and stations being run by one publicly accountable body. That’s simple.
William Hunter, HartlepoolPrivatisation has not worked. It is only the Conservative ideology behind this matter.
Paul Morgans, BakewellI am a frequent user of rail transport and can’t believe the overall poor quality for the cost of the service, compared to other countries.
Richard Manders, WorthingMore should travel by rail, but don’t because of high costs, delays and generally poor service. Value the worker, value the passenger.
Tom Fraser, EdinburghPrivatisation has meant a worse, more expensive service, in prettier uniforms, with less pay for the workforce while a few directors pocket enormous sums.
Mary Louise Brown, AberdeenThe rail network should be a public utility.
Susan Bayley, DerbyTrain fares are way too high, especially if you want to travel on a Friday. Why?
Alan Miller, CarlisleYes, British Rail, bring it back. Let’s bring it on.
Kira Allmark, ReadingDaily I am disgusted with the train services, either their poorly planned timetables or extremely overpriced tickets. I struggle to see what I am paying for.
Naeem Hanif, WakefieldBring back British Rail.
Bree Allen, HarrogateThe state of National Rail is absolutely appalling.
Mark Edward, LeicesterOur trains could be a force for green, accessible, fairly-priced travel, rather than solely an extortionate money-making operation for uncaring corporations.
Isabel Shaw, CardiffI’ve been a commuter for over a decade and have witnessed cramped trains and steep fare rises. It is time for railways be re-nationalised.
Phil Drake, SheffieldThe success of Directly Operated Railways gives the lie to the idea that private equals better.
Glyn Thompson, Appleby-In-WestmorlandIt is time to end the rip-off of privatisation and return former state assets to their rightful owners.
Ryan Wilson, LondonFully supported.
Chris Ritchie, IpstonesFor all its faults British Rail was still 10 times better than the current services.
Nathan Bradley, SheffieldBring back British Rail.
Andrew Barber, SandyOnly if the right investments are in place and simple fare structures.
John Pallister, HullAs the railway is a public service, it should be owned by the public.
Sally Finesilver, OxfordPrivatisation is a disaster. A simple and fair fare-structure and user-friendly service (remember that word?) would make travel better for everyone, including tourists.
Geraint Dawe, Caerphilly£230 Cardiff to London is extortion. I can fly to Rome for the same. or Belfast 4 times.
Steve Goddard, CrawleyRe-nationalisation could be designed to benefit passengers, workers and small/medium size companies as well through fair non-cartel competition. Fewer lazy fat cats.
Loretta Pattison, StreetLet’s have one form of transport in this country run properly please.
Ben NichollsWe commuters have had enough of private train companies running a monopoly and putting cash before customers.
Shaun Featherstone, CardiffI’m 100% in favour of re-nationalisation of all public transport.
Ruslan Kim, HamptonInconsistent fares, poor connections, confusion and delays are results of a privatised British Rail. Bring it back, the only way to make it right.
Fred Green, CanterburyPublic ownership is best for the people and country.
