Warren McDonald, CroydonI’m fed up with rising fares and declining service.
Frances Airson, SunderlandThey should never have been sold off.
Stuart Curran, CooksbridgeInvest taxpayers’ money in the rail network, not in corporate welfare schemes.
Sylvia Aldworth, NottinghamWe need a nationalised railway, not to support shareholders.
Helen Walter, DurhamThe rail network and companies are failing to meet the needs of their passengers. They should be viewed as public services not for private profit.
Marie Priest, HoveIt’s time to stop the obscenity of big companies taking too much in profits at the expense of the public.
Robbie Lee, ManchesterI am utterly dis-satisfied with the level of corruption, incompetence, and lack of respect our current railway system has. The people should suffer no more.
Richard Baxendale, LondonRe-nationalise now.
David S., Milton KeynesIt should never have been privatised, like all other public services – Water, Gas, Electricity, which were all sold to foreigners who made a fortune off the backs of British people.
Lloyd Cartey, Milton KeynesRe-nationalise the rail services. We are paying too much in subsidies to rail companies.
Jenny Gilbert, WellingtonI’m old enough to remember when using the railways wasn’t a stressful task. There may have been some timing issues, but buying a ticket was so simple back then.
Nicholas Rowe, Southend-on-SeaPeople before profit.!
Jim Tait, EdinburghLet’s do this and end the monopoly.
Jus Sargeant, MiddlesbroughRestore our national rail.
Michael Ludlam, CoulsdonI totally agree. Southern Rail have an appalling service this summer, and it’s only getting worse. These rail companies have run out of excuses.
David Otterson, BillinghamUK railways are years behind most developed countries. There is little incentive for investment in the current fragmented set-up with relatively short franchises.
Martin Dallaghan, ManchesterI believe private sector has successfully shaken up and re-vitalised this previously semi-dormant form of public transport. So now it’s time it went back into public hands.
Margaret Croson, RutlandEveryone, including those in high places, knows it’s the right thing to do.
James Sinclair, JerseyIt costs more in subsidies now. Your logo is facing the wrong way. I was a BR man for 17 years.
Paul Simmonds, NorwichI want a British Rail owned by and run for the benefit of employees and the public not private vested interests who value profit above lives.
Mark Brophy, North WalshamFar from being efficient, privatisation has led to bad use of funds and profits for shareholders at the expense of the travelling public. Bring back British Rail.
Daniel Manton, BirminghamPlease re-nationalise Britain’s railways, and Bring back British Rail.
Helka Thompson, SwindonWe need it to be brought back to life.
Carrie Hedderwick, SheffieldPrivatisation has failed – fragmented services, high fares, health and safety issues, fewer staff and worse to come. No to private profit, Yes to public benefit.
Ellie Harrison, GlasgowA new British Rail should reinstate that proud public service ethos by giving passengers and employees more control over how it’s run.
Stephen Graham, ManchesterNetwork Rail are hopeless.
T Love-Taylor, LondonTrains are the future. They should belong to the nation.
Leonor Fontanilla De AurI love train, found it, as a fun way to travel.
Sue Brooks, HarlowI’m fed up with trains being late, dirty seats, and the price of tickets. I travel from Harlow to Great Yarmouth and it’s gone from under £40 to nearly £57. That’s disgusting.
Malcolm Smith, LondonIf rail fares continue to increase at this rate, I won’t be able to afford to travel on the network. Therefore I will no longer be able to afford to go to work.
