Lesley Parkhouse, BathWe are being put to shame by other countries’ rail networks. What happened to the great British Railways? Bring them Back!
Sven Hanson, BrightonYes, and bring back buffet cars as well.
Dave Gonzalez, OxfordshireLet’s fix this. One of the biggest mistakes in the ’90s.
Martin Powell, WigtonDisabled people need to be able to bring tricycles on trains.
Carole Dennis, Newton AbbotToo expensive to use.
Ste Hannon, LiverpoolBring back BR.
Peter Crampton, HalifaxTime to take back what was stolen from us.
James Harris, BirminghamSave us money, save us time.
Elizabeth Collier, LiverpoolA nationalised rail system in Britain would bring more efficient service for customers. In addition workers would be proud to work for the good of people not profit.
Verumignis, LondonAs a trainspotter, I would really like to see British Rail return. Fares are the worst part of privatisation in my opinion, they are high and inconsistent.
Margaret Crisp, EdinburghThey should never have been sold off to greedy private companies who have ripped off the travelling public ever since.
Mike Chaney, DorchesterA Dorset Tory MP told Mrs Thatcher that privatising the railways would be ‘Poll tax on wheels’. A pity she didn’t listen.
William Paddock, EdinburghIf only British Rail had got the subsidies all these private railway companies receive, what a network we could have had.
Tommy Neilan, LondonIt’s our railway so why is it owned by foreign businesses? Let’s bring it back into the hands of the people who use it.
Ken Howe, HexhamIf the East Coast mainline can make money for the government, so can all the others.
Elizabeth Clark, PeterboroughAlso bring back some of the many lost stations. Reduce individual cars on the road and more railways for everyone.
Hannah Mordin, CambridgeIt’s a shocking current service. Every six months ticket prices rise yet there’s no improvement to the service. There are delays every day.
Andy Griffiths, CarlislePut public service before private greed.
Greg Logan, KirkcaldyBring back a publicly-owned and run national rail service.
Dimitri Stama, LondonCrippling our economy with poor and over-priced transport systems is not how the UK should be treated. My wife has to pay over 10% of her salary for her train ticket.
Grace French, LutonIt is clear that the ridiculous increase in train prices each year is for shareholders. Each year my fares go up with no improvement in service.
Beth Kenny, ManchesterAs a victim of the shambles that is NorthernFail, I support re-nationalisation.
Richard Stott, Berwick-upon-TweedIt’s a disgrace that we pay more money in and get less out.
Ted Hammond, DaventryI am totally against train operators’ high pricing, which still doesn’t guarantee a comfortable seat.
Darren Sumner, NewportBring back British Rail and start re-nationalisation.
Graeme McMullen, LondonIt’s time to run a railway for people instead of private profit.
Scott Berman, ChelmsfordThis company has ruined my life. No words can describe the pain I have been through including my wife’s 40th ruined.
Margaret Harrison, BristolIt is time to go back in time as, after 20 years of reflection and many lessons learnt, I believe the train transport can be run more effectively by the state.
Patricia Smethurst, ChigwellBritish Rail should be back in the hands of the public not in the hands of greedy corporations, MPs and the rest of the money-grabbing parasites.
Benjamin Wheeler, AmblesideI have to take the train twice a week and I can’t afford these fares. On one of the Trans-Pennine routes the fare is nearly one pound a minute. It’s insane and has to stop.
