Jill Vogler, LeedsI would very much support Caroline Lucas MP’s private member’s bill for each part of the railway to be brought back into public ownership as its franchise expires.
Mary Abbott, PortsmouthThe rail system in the UK is one of the worst in the world. It’s very expensive, never on time and with price rises above inflation year after year. It has got to stop.
Damian Kershaw, WallaseyWhy we as taxpayers and passengers continue to fund private profits with public money is crazy.
Anne Keighley, ManchesterBring it back now.
Andy Morten, FromeIt’s about time somebody seriously considered this.
Kenneth Robson, RushdenThe railways were taken into public ownership because the private sector was in an absolute mess and so the railways are again in an absolute mess.
Darren Rafferty, SheffieldPrivatisation hasn’t worked and the debt is even bigger than British Rail ever had.
Christopher Flack, LondonFirst Capital Connect are the worst. Bring back BR.
Audrey Stewart, HitchinSurely everyone can now see privatisation is not working? The East Coast line has actually been profitable while it has been run by the state.
Areeb Aslam, AberdeenEven after having a rail card, a return ticket from Aberdeen to Grantham costs me near to
Terry Barnard, BridgendPrivatisation is just a legal rip-off to the public in general.
Zach Elsbury, MelbourneThe rot must stop!
Sam Sadjady, LondonThe service, the atmosphere, the filth and, above all, having your pants pulled down every day!
Juliet Chard, LondonWhy can’t we have a rail service we are proud of?
Vince Allen, GatesheadThe division of the railways was real butchery. If in times of crisis such as WW1 or WW2 it was best for the country to have one united railway, then it’s still so right now.
AlexIn order to have a fully integrated transport system, we also need to bring back the National Bus Company!
Nathan Hosker, LeedsTime to bring back what is proudly British, affordable and fair for all members of staff involved.
Marc Collinson, BangorGreat campaign. Now a serious outline of proposals are required from a think tank.
Kenneth Beaton, AberdeenThe current setup is just too split up and disjointed
Charlie Sutherland-Boyce, LivingstonDespite the curly sandwiches, they still provide a cheaper and more efficient service.
Mark Kapalo, TelfordUK railways are in a shocking state.
Alex Ross, CambridgeWhy do we put up with a far worse rail infrastructure than Germany, France and Switzerland? Their governments have not let train users down.
Helen Stokes, BillericayTerrible over-priced service. Disruption is daily and there is a complacent attitude towards passengers. The rolling stock is old and the trains are dirty and unkempt.
Barry Hearn, WatfordWe all know that privatisation doesn’t work, time and time again.
Edward Hughes, YorkBring it back.
Les HowarthBritish Rail had its problems but it was a joined-up network. Since privatisation things are probably better if you want to go A to B but not A to B to C.
Adrian Wood, BridportLet us all join together and have this mess sorted out once and for all.
Kate Ward, HuddersfieldLate, dangerously crowded trains, rising fares yet no improvements to speak of. We need re-nationalisation.
Yvonne Sanders, MaidenheadIt is a public service and needs to be in public control with no purpose for profit.
Aaron o’Sullivan, GlenarmAs a young person who never experienced British Rail, I see it as a really positive thing for the country and would love to see it’s reestablishment.
