Eddy Hughes, ManchesterWe need to put pressure on the government to Bring back British Rail into public ownership – well overdue.
Gary Clarke, MarchIt should never have been disbanded. It’s time to bring it back.
Paul Craft, New RomneyStop selling off our national assets for a quick pound to balance the books. Bring back British Rail.
Harry Neeve, BarnsleyI’m actually sick of foreign governments jacking up our rail fares and simply not caring. What we need is our railways run by the government with more investment and care.
Russell Wilson, DerbyIt should be publicly owned.
Edward Barnes, WarminsterOver-priced fares can suck it.
Jayson GillhamWorld-class train transport please.
Nick Telfer, Tignes, FranceAs an ex-pat I still support this cause. The rot started with Beeching and was compounded by Thatcher. Tory hierarchs are the enemies of the people.
Tim ByrneThe promise that privatisation would bring lower prices and a better service is as false with rail as with water, energy and, soon, the postal service.
Chris Ralph, Great YarmouthThe sooner the better.
Melvyn Dalley, SheffieldPrivatisation has failed, as it seems do in most public services.
Brian Shepherd, LeedsJoined-up thinking, not piecemeal profit centres.
Alexander Scott, ArdrossanThe franchising fiasco has shown conclusively how privatisation fails the public. The rail network is a national asset and should therefore be run nationally.
Michael Crawley, AltrinchamWe need an integrated rail system in our small country.
Leslie Howell, ManchesterLet’s stop the taxpayer subsidies to private rail companies and run the network as a national service.
Robert Kennedy, KelsallStop the East Coast line sell-off.
Russ Hore, PattinghamI have watched rail travel get worse and worse over the last forty years. It needs sorting out.
Rob Stephens, NorwichIt’s so disjointed and fragmented. Only fat cat, nameless shareholders benefit, not the paying public. Make it British Rail and bring back the ‘blue & grey’.
Rebecca Armstrong, ManchesterHow are we supposed to fight climate change when it is nearly half the price for me to travel by car from London to Manchester, than get an off peak advance train?
Gail Richard, BracknellUsing trains often lets my wheelchair-user husband down, with rudeness from staff and lack of space. The expense of using trains cannot compete with using a car.
Farouk Sohawon, LondonBringing the railway network into public ownership will put some order in and focus on the industry.
Paul Bond, TonbridgeBy 60-20% British people support renationalising the railways so they are responsible to taxpayers not shareholders.
Katherine Newey, ExeterI don’t drive and am dependent on public transport. Services are inferior and more expensive than under BR.
Martin Hearne, ChorleyNorthern Rail must be stopped. It’s hell out there.
Sally Weston, WarehamBring back our railway.
Simon Bolton, LeedsProfits before people is not the way forward.
Lucy Bell, ReadingThe only way forward.
Jenny Young, HullLet’s show them how Great Britain should be.
John Emmott, TenterdenA long held view – bring the railways back into public ownership.
Eira Short, RochdaleI would love to be able to take my son on a train to London in the same way as my parents took me. We need a public transport system.
