Stephen Ward, CarnforthAs a pedestrian, motorist and rail user, it is high time rail users enjoyed an equal ‘playing-field’ with road users.
John Tidy, LondonI want rail transport run for its users. We can’t go back to the under-investment of the BR era, and the current arrangements are unsustainable. A new paradigm is needed.
Mary Ion, BromleyWe pay extortionate prices to stand like cattle. It makes no sense for a railway to be run for private profit.
A Motta, LondonThese prices do not relate to the terrible service we are receiving.
Vincent Baines, PontefractA nationalised rail network is the only solution.
Dylan Watkins, LydneyI am utterly opposed to the rotten franchise system, and the pointless split between track and train ownership, and increasingly unaffordable fares.
Nicholas Eve, SheffordWe need a nationalised rail service back for the good of the country.
John Sealey, BristolReturn British Rail to the people.
Royston Smith, GloucestershireThere was never a problem with British Railways before it was privatised. Bring Back British Rail or lose the next election. It’s the Government’s choice now.
Joyce Murray, BlythTo have a division between different train operating companies and the running of the track seems ridiculous.
Mary Taylor, LondonJeremy Corbyn as PM will re-nationalise the railways and I’m looking forward to it.
Charles Billette, Vlastislav, CzI left my native Britain because of Thatcher’s lunatic policies. Destroying the railway system was just one of these. Here you can travel 60 miles for £9.50 return.
Barrie Temple, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe current multi-operator system is too complicated.
Nick Hopkinson, YorkThe Rail network should never have been privatised. It was politically motivated and has been a massive failure.
Jill Harland, DurhamLet’s put rail back in public ownership and stop private companies profiting from essential services.
Ben Bailey, BrightonI agree that re-nationalising the railways is a common sense idea.
Lawrence Paulson, CambridgePrivatisation has just allowed private companies to enrich themselves at our expense.
Robert Jones, BirminghamService not profit.
Catherine Morley, EastleighJust bring it back to us. We have enough private companies that suck our money and waste it on high salaries for themselves.
Mark Lee, HarlowI think it should all go back to how it was. The trains ran better back then, not like now, and the tickets were cheaper.
Jane Scott, FleetIt’s time to bring back affordable transport.
Joshua Lunn, SwindonLower fares, better paid staff, more branch lines, accountability.
Oszeromolago Babalouista, LondonI like the BR logo. I want to see it more. I want the conductors back. It will be better organised and cheaper.
Barbara Cowle, WirralYes to public ownership of British Rail. We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.
Richard Stone, CanterburyI would like to see is a railway system that is managed and run efficiently with good opportunities for commercial growth and employment. Bring back British Rail.
David FairclothThere are thousands of people who support the idea of having an integrated, publicly owned and operated railway.
John Morrow, SunderlandI’m sick of getting ripped off.
Dave Spooner, YorkKeep up the good work.
Derrick Joyce, Newbiggin by the SeaThe privatisation of British Rail is a failure and, like many other utilities, needs to be nationalised urgently.
Gianluca Elwin, BristolNationalise the railways.
