Roderick Joyce, Newcastle upon TyneThe sooner the better.
Richard Campbell, HuntingdonIt seems that over the years the whole country has been flogged off to private business, and look at the mess we are in. It’s time to put an end to this rip-off now.
Catherine Maudsley, NorthallertonI wish to join with the other people to re-nationalise the railways.
Cara Naden, LangportTo achieve a reduction in pollution and CO2 levels causing climate change and health problems, we need to bring back affordable community transport to communities via rail.
Gillian Kelly, AmblesideI used to be able to board a train at Oxenholme and go through to Totnes or Penzance. Now I have to haul my luggage off at Birmingham New St. and change. I hate this.
Norman Luff, PortsmouthI arrived Southampton 1949, saw BRITISH RAIL sign. Hooray. Bring it back.
Jamie Bramwell, CheshireThatcher sold off most of the country now Cameron wishes to complete her mission!
Robin Marks, RamsgateIt’s time to stop funding private companies’ profits.
Annette Mansell-Green, BirminghamPrivatisation has been a completely failed capitalist experiment. We demand our railways be returned to us now.
Mel Thomas, Blaenau FfestiniogThey should never have been privatised in the first place. But beware of legislation that would globally prevent this.
Stuart Carrick, CheltenhamIt would be much easier to travel around the country.
Bernard Bannister, PeterboroughI was there. On April 1st, All Fools’ Day, when it was shambolically moved over.
Roger Turner, MarkfieldThe privatised railways have been, and continue to be, a failure.
Pat Brennan, DerbyThe railway system should be a service, an essential part of the country’s network, which is necessary for good communication.
Lee Salter, CroydonBring back British Rail. It should be run for the people, not for private profit.
Glenn Osborne, Isle Of LewisWe don’t have a railway where I live, but when I go to the mainland I can’t afford to travel anywhere these days.
Neill Hendry, Henley-on-ThamesWe need to return to an integrated rail system that puts its customers and employees first.
Amanda Wickwar, LondonDitch the profiteering privateers and re-nationalise.
David Hardy, Chester le StreetWe have to do something. The way the railway is run now is a total shambles.
Anthony Brown, WincantonI have seen massive price increases and bad delays. We need a rail system that gives value for money and one of which the public can have a say on how it runs.
Matt Williams, WaterloovilleBring back British Rail.
David Free, SaltashI worked for Railtrack and Network Rail. Privatisation does not work. Profit before service is wrong.
Dean Robinson, HastingsFollow the German example.
Susan Dawson, RosudgeonNeither trains, railways nor buses should ever have been privatised. High prices for poor transport services. Nationalised would be better maintenance/service/price.
Fraser Smalley, MorecambeMake our transport a not-for-profit organisation. It make sense. Why are we paying businesses to run it?
Jean Smith, BrentwoodReduce road traffic and fumes. Re-nationalise the rail industry and make trains affordable and efficient.
Randall Northam, YorkRail privatisation was botched and hurried.
Sylvia Aldworth, NottinghamWe need a nationalised railway, not to support shareholders.
Terry McCann, WorthingThe transport of people around our country is a public service, not a profit opportunity for the benefit of fat-cats.
Chris Bright, LondonIf we’re going to subsidise it anyway, I don’t want my taxes going into the pockets of shareholders.
