Dennis Archer, ArnoldBritish Rail first then the utilities.
Thomas Lloyd-Mead, BournemouthNetwork Rail has been a pivotal downfall in transportation and commuting in this country for far too long.
Trevor Clowes, CreweJohn Major should hang his head in shame!
Angela Brown, Haywards HeathHave one railway company, British Rail, for the safety and ease of travel that we should be able to expect.
Janus Polenceusz, RotherhamGet rid of privatisation and bring back the classic British Rail for the UK. How comes Scotland has ScotRail? In England we should also have English Rail.
Alan Masson, DunbarYet another delayed journey on a network unfit for purpose because it is run for private profit.
Christopher Flossman, BristolMake the railways work for the commuters, not the corporate profiteers. Vote Green.
Ray Riley, MansfieldInstead of standing on its own feet this has become dependent on taxpayers for survival.
Josh Kerry, LondonIt’s despicable that the train operating companies collect fat profits from driving the prices up on an essential public service.
Geoffrey Gwaspari, BarnstapleThe time is now. End this madness.
Sheepa Ahmed, LondonThey are ripping us off.
Stuart Dye, HailshamNot for private profit.
James Delaney, BrightonPlease fix the broken and disjointed rail mess that has stemmed from the privatisation in the 90’s.
Iris Jefferies, StroudI should like to join a group striving to bring back our national train service.
Jeff Lewis, WarringtonThe current situation is a ruinously expensive absurd mess.
Will Benton, Godalming£4,116 for an annual season ticket to work – 20% of my income. What for? Slow trains, sitting on the floor and heated carriages in the summer. BBBR I say!
Royston Hocking, Tunbridge WellsGive it back.
Dave Codling, CheshireI don’t drive so rely on public transport. With the new rises in train and bus fares it is now uneconomical for me to work in my present location.
Pru Dickson, OxfordIt’s time we could travel for a decent price all over the UK.
Nicklas Gaskell, ExeterI believe the golden age of British Rail should be ahead of us, not behind.
John Atkin, HarlechArriva trains are heavily subsidised and too expensve to use. Nationalise now.
Lesley Jones, HullIt just makes sense to me – people before profit. That goes for all the other utilities (gas/electricity/water) that have been privatised for the rich to make more money.
Thomas Sargent, IngoldmellsTo help bring about environmental change and a better rail network.
Rob Jell, SwindonIt’s high time that all services like these were returned to public control, giving a greater buying power, ensuring a much better service and price for customers.
Elaine Armstrong, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe rail services have deteriorated enormously since privatisation and fares just go up and up. Privatisation equals bad service, full stop.
Simon Redmond, RomfordBring back nationalised railways – for better value, safety and productivity.
Daphne Gilbert, StocksfieldThe only way to control prices is for profits for the railways themselves, not foreign shareholders.
John Sewell, HuntingdonFirst Capital Connect must be one of the few rail operators not to offer reduced advance fares. East Coast seems to give a better service – why? No profit motive?
Gordon Nash, Arlesey.All energy, all transport and all water in this country should be as in most of the rest of the world – owned by its people.
Richard Glazzard, Tunbridge WellsI am rarely on a train these days that is (a) on time, (b) not broken (c) has a driver or (d) completes its whole journey without being discontinued early.
