Annie Mulholland, Bradford-on-AvonBritish Rail was so much better than what we have now. Bring it back.
David Berry, WiganRe-nationalise our railways now.
Curtis Free, LondonHow can trains being run for profit by private companies be of benefit to anyone? Bring it in line with Transport for London and make it a public body.
David O’Byrne, ManchesterBring it back.
Jsnr Ayres, New MillsIt’s so obvious, it hardly needs arguing.
N P Bradley, DevonCrossCountry Trains are German. I would like to see British Rail back in the UK.
Lynn Lansbury, SandownWin votes by doing something for the people.
Vincent Cunliffe, SheffieldPrivatisation hasn’t worked – it’s time to re-nationalise the railways in the public interest.
Karan Capon-Richards, RochesterThe whole train service is overpriced and useless. I’m really glad I don’t need to use the trains every day but others need to get to and from work without all this disruption.
Norma Armstrong, MorpethThe current system is fragmented and expensive and confusing when trying to book tickets. We need to have systems and prices similar to those in Europe.
John Podger, WareAnd we want clean trains.
Deirdre Carlisle, DumfriesYes please – a properly joined-up rail network service.
K Thomas, EdinburghRailways are good for the environment. We need an efficient, affordable service to get people out of their cars and onto the trains.
William Hall, HatfieldPrivatise rail companies put profits ahead of passengers and continue to offer the travelling public a third rate service.
Michael Branney, LeicesterSadly, the current disjointed rail organisation and ticketing is a national embarrassment.
David Jackson, NottinghamA privatised railway is bound to put profits before passengers and often safety is compromised for the sake of profits as well.
Chris Sullivan, DartfordTrains are delayed every day and we are just supposed to accept it. At work I get 10 minutes to not be classed as late but a train has to be 30 minutes late for a refund.
Mel Hague, DoncasterI don’t use the railways but I’m against privatisation of them.
David Fletcher, NuneatonRail is a natural monopoly so public ownership is the appropriate system.
Nick Dombkowski, WarminsterRe-nationalisation of our railway is the aim and let the people decide how it’s best run, from local to nationwide level.
Dot Walker, MaldonThe rail network does not work under privatisation and needs to be taken back into our hands, run for commuters not profiteers.
Sandy Draper, SheffieldKeep going.
Amanda Child, BroadstairsThey should not have been privatised in the first place.
Kayey Ellen, LondonRailways operate so much better when in public ownership. Best outcome for everyone involved.
Colin Flowerday, HoltThe British Railways Board ran an excellent train service. These private companies are useless, typical Tory crap. So bring back British Rail.
Steven Toms, YorkThe railway needs investment in rolling stock to relieve overcrowding. The present system cannot deliver this.
Robbie Penford Baker, EdinburghBring back British Rail, sensible pricing and service.
Dick Norton, CuparPublic service should not be in private hands.
Celia Laverick, StanleyPut British Rail back together. Run it with a management separate from MPs but scrutinized by auditors.
Josephine Smoldon, Bridgwaterwe need a railway system that serves the people.
