Jonathan Baxter, Newport-On-TayTrains for people, the planet and a renewed sense of common ownership. What could be better?
Ashley Colman, LeedsAs in everything else, decent ordinary people are getting ripped off with fares and nothing has improved whatsoever.
Paul Greening, DorchesterRe-nationalise the railways. They are a public service and can be run more efficiently in the public interest than for private profit.
Catherine Matthews, EnfieldPublic ownership in public interest. Choose service over parasitic private sector profits.
Heather Elliott, AylesburyIt’s much better to have rail service in public ownership.
Colin Heathcote, WarkworthEnvironmental and economical no-brainer. Rather than pour millions into the bulging pockets of Branson, use our cash to serve the public by investing in our railway.
Eddie Saunders, DoverI have 24 years as a railway employee. I want us to be providing a service, not a business.
Martin Elliott, GuildfordThe current subsidies and ticket prices for a terrible system to pay shareholders must end.
Leslie Allan, Whitley BayEast Coast is a well run and efficient organisation, with helpful and friendly staff. Also it makes a healthy profit, more than Virgin and much more than First Great Western.
Gyan Tyagi, SheffieldJoined-up thinking? How about joined-up railway system?
Jordan Muscott, BristolThe cost of the trains in Britain compared to the rest of Europe is an absolute disgrace. Its obvious that privatisation hasn’t helped the service at all.
Susan Ashby, LondonDe-nationalisation of the railways has not worked. Pouring more money in is not the answer. We’ve paid for it so now reclaim ownership.
Desmond Forde, FarehamI worked for BR and we paid little subsidy compared to the billions we pay now. Fares are scandalous. The poor taxpayer pays the cost of high fares and huge subsidies.
Harry Willoughby, WellsBritish trains are deplorable for their service and prices. We need to compete with our European peers.
James Masters, LondonAnother Great British institution trampled on by fake profiteering. Shame.
Nicolas Richardson, CardiffPrivatisation has been a complete waste of time, has not benefited anyone who uses it. It’s turned out worse value for consumers as prices hike and services get worse.
Ann Ferguson, Tyne and WearBritish Rail should never have been privatised in the first place. Bring ownership back to those who pay their taxes.
Cathy Lee, SwadlincoteLet’s apply some common sense to public transport and especially trains please.
Margaret Bennett, SheffieldWe, like many other social entrepreneurs, chose to bank with the Co-operative Bank because of its strong ethical objectives. We would move our account if this was lost.
James Nicolson, LondonInteresting that the route taken back by the state is the profitable one now.
Robert Flynn, DouglasI totally support the campaign.
Charlie Matthews, SwanleyI’m fed up with the service we get for the price we pay.
Paul Harnwell, BasildonWhat they have done to the railways is a joke. The fares keep going up and up for a very poor service.
Joe Merry, WorcesterBring them back.
Aidan Turner-Bishop, PrestonIt’s maddening that we have state-run trains in Britain but other countries manage trains. They siphon away our tax subsidies. We fund DB, NS and SNCF. Why not our BR?
Alexandra Gillett, BristolRailways should be a public service, not a private profit-generating business. They should work for us, not shareholders.
Gerry Norvill, LowestoftBring back British Rail to make fares fairer.
Nigel Manners, DevonI have been ripped off with prices and poor services for over two decades. It was SO much better before being privatised.
John Hughes, Newport, PembrokeshireThe sooner the better.
Douglas Coutts, NottinghamBritish Rail, British Coal, British Steel. Britain works only for the nation when its jewels belong to the nation, not to private shareholders.
