Andrew Dolan, PeterboroughRail fares increase, subsidies higher than ever, privatisation in its current form is abysmal.
Joanne Hutchinson, ChichesterThey should never have been privatised in the first place!
Caitlin Mcleod, LondonKeep on.
Denny Evans, FlintAs a frequent rail traveller, I find the services in this country dreadful. The North Wakes Coast trains are being run in an unsafe and dangerous manner with no care.
Russ Hepworth-Harvey, NelsonIt’s long overdue. How can there be any sense in selling off East Coast (when it was making UK PLC money) to Richard Branson whose West Coast line rips people off!?
Dawne Brown, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation doesn’t work for anyone but shareholders.
Daniel Sargent, Newcastle-upon-TyneRailways must be nationalised. They should never have been privatised. It’s a service not a business.
Louise Kemp, Haywards HeathI am disgusted at poor train services, high ticket prices and public money being paid into the hands of shareholders instead of funding public services. Re-nationalise.
Saffron Swansborough, HerstmonceuxI heard about this campaign group on the Today programme recently. The spokesperson was terrific. I sympathise with the disgruntled Southern staff too.
Oliver Smith, Wold NewtonIt will benefit everyone and leave our economy better off.
Allan Hedley, CumbriaPrivatisation was a very big mistake. It’s just making massive profits for the operating companies which should be ploughed back into the network.
Andrew Brown, LondonHaving multiple companies running the trains is a disaster. I’d prefer a non-profit company (if not government) running our railways with the needs of passengers put first.
John Brown, LondonYes, bring back national rail. It was ours in the first place. What right did they have to sell it off? They didn’t ask me.
Susan Garner, PeterboroughOne organisation looking after the whole network for the benefit of the people.
Nea McKeon, Albuquerque, USAI loved British Rail as a tourist. I miss it.
Mike FriendThe transport monopolies cannot lose – it’s a win-win situation for them backed by the government.
Babel Wallace, LondonIt’s time we had more say on public services.
Lesley Mais, LeedsFor too long we have trusted private companies to improve essential services, and instead we are seeing few improvements but ever-increasing bills.
Darren Briggs, YorkShould be LNER / GWR / LMS / Southern owned by the people.
Suki Mann, GosportEnd corporate greed. Bring back people’s services for the people.
Edmund English, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhy Thatcher?
Mary Thomas, PlymouthEnough is enough. Give us back our railways.
Jeannine Cooper, BingleyIt simply makes sense.
David Rae, LoughboroughOur railways should be British owned, not German (DB Schenker), French, Dutch, Canadian or American.
Arnold Zermansky, LeedsPrivatising railways was a politically inspired experiment with a clear negative outcome. Britain’s railways are over-expensive, under-co-ordinated and inefficient.
Jeanne Ross-Osborne, SouthamptonI want rail fares to be the same tariff wherever I go. It’s too complicated trying to find the best deals for an elderly pensioner.
Richard Moss, ShipleyGreed, greed, greed, greed.
Brian Hamill, BallymenaIt is high time the government started to provide efficient and effective railway transport in the UK.
Elizabeth Plumb, CambridgeDo what other countries do and subsidise the rail network and bring back British Rail. It worked.
Andrew Dugdale, ReadingRail fares are beyond reason for the worst quality trains, and most overcrowded service in Europe. It needs fixing – fast. We’re no longer getting there.
