Lloyd Kennedy, LondonGet rid of this scam now.
Maya Ring, SomptingThe rail network is a mess. Bring it back to the public. Privatisation has not worked.
Mike Smith, EghamI’m sick of paying exorbitant SW Train prices to fund shareholders.
Peter Horne, LondonBring it back.
Alasdair Lumsden, LondonSince train companies can’t compete and have a monopoly of their route, privatisation is a complete farce.
Stephen Clarke, ShrewsburyRe-nationalise the railways and utility companies.
Rod Munday, AberystwythThere are so many reasons why this needs to happen.
Andrew Macpherson, GlasgowNeed to get our finger out. Going to need lots of electric railways in 20 years’ time when the oil runs out.
Peter Josling, ArleseyExpand the network and take the lorries off the road. Get all containers transported by train.
Matthew Callaghan, CaerleonThere is only one way to make the railways cost effective – re-nationalisation!
Barry Graham, YorkCritical infra-structure like railways should be owned by the public as in many European countries.
Dave Keane, HastingsSimple. Each time a provider fails they should lose the contract. Then BR (or the equivalent) takes over. British Rail can then grow organically proving themselves.
Oskar Postmyr-Barclay, GlasgowRenationalise.
June Finnie, GlasgowAdmit defeat and put it back together.
John Wood, LightwaterPrivatisation did not lead to lower fares and better service as we were promised.
Brian Ardill, CullomptonBritish Rail should never have been privatised.
Jim Steele, IlkestonThe railway system is a service and a natural monopoly, not an ordinary business venture. It can be run efficiently and safely within the public sector. Time to do it.
Alex Stocker, BristolEnough profiteering, let’s get our social railway back and serve the people who really need it, as well as those who choose to.
Alexander Bridges, LymingtonIn all examples publicly owned transport is a far better way to invest profit. Private transport does not allow for profit to be spent on infrastructure.
Alan Cole, OxtedWhat a waste. Bring back BR who ran a service for the people not the shareholders or franchises.
Donald Bladwin, TattershallThe railways were a national asset, but now they are used to finance other countries. The railways of Britain should be for the people.
Irina Palczynski, LondonIt makes sense.
John Taylor, ManchesterGreat cause. Stop the Tory boys.
Rowland Jones, BristolThe botched privatisation must be undone. It is wrong that private companies and foreign governments take profits and subsidies from our railways.
Peter Moore, LondonAbsolutely. Take our railways back! Common sense, surely? Urgent and so obvious now that we can clearly see the farrago that has emerged with privatisation.
Wendy Easen, Newcastle-upon-TyneTraining down to London frequently, we cannot understand why our brilliant East Coast service should not remain publicly-owned, with others joining us to make a profit.
David Miller, DurhamThe Green Party idea of picking up the franchises as they become available and building British Rail back up is an absolute winner.
Frank Bainbridge, NorwichWouldn’t it be great if Government listened to sense? It’s not a free market, I can’t choose which train I take to work and private companies simply extract profit.
Daniel Adesen, LondonNationalise the railways again. The service is terrible.
George Mulryan, EalingI visit Yorkshire frequently and have found the East Coast service to be the best in the country since its nationalisation in 2009. Let’s make this a nationwide success.
