John Page, HertfordLets at least keep Directly Operated Railways on the East Coast public not privatised.
David Bellamy, MexboroughBring British Rail back I worked under BR and we all worked together for the good of the railway.
Richard Drew, BristolWhatever your political views, this is privatisation that has never worked. Let subsidies help passengers not private rail companies.
Richard Brierley, DerbyPrices for train travel have soared through the roof and passengers are penalised financially if they travel at certain times.
Anne Fraenkel, LondonAll infrastructure should be owned and managed by the state for the benefit of all the people, not just shareholders.
Alexander Wallace, SheernessLet’s go back to when the trains were on time and not in the private sector, with all the investors taking all the money out of it.
Jim McGinley, HoylakeRail privatisation has produced an overpriced, dysfunctional mess. The only way forward is public ownership of the whole network as the East Coast line shows.
Denise Rhodes, LondonYou know it makes sense.
Frances McGinlay, LargsJust bring it back.
Robin Marks, RamsgateIt’s time to stop funding private companies’ profits.
Ian Ferguson, LondonEast Coast Rail shows how it can be done.
Nicholas Mills, SwanseaAs a young person living quite a distance from larger cities such as Bristol or Birmingham, I can’t really go with the prices being so high.
Martin Randle, CambridgeIt should never have been privatised.
Bob Billington, MagorEnough of perpetual fare increases, no accountability, cattle class travel and excessive profits for train operators. It’s time to bring back a leaner, meaner BR.
Phillip Crosby, LondonRail companies are above the government and above their customers. They are not held responsible for their poor service. They cripple the country.
Bryn Glover, HarrogateMiliband must be blind not to see what a popular declaration it would be to declare now for the re-nationalisation of all transport.
David Pointon, Scholar GreenRail services are only marginally better than when the line opened.
Linda Johnson-Laird, Waltham AbbeyI’m totally behind this movement. Bring it on.
Jasvinder Singh, BirminghamIt’s good for business and good for the customers.
Isla Browning, EdinburghThe railways should not be run for private profit. The state and its people should benefit from running the railways. We need an improved service.
Iain Harding, GuildfordI’m totally fed up with extortionate rail fares and poor service.
Billy Perrin, CamborneAbout time.
Thomas John Wheeler, DyfedRe-nationalise our railways now to stop the above inflation fare rises!
Joan StewartPrivatisation does not serve citizens or passengers. The East Coast service is making a profit, which goes into public coffers.
Bill Colwell, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt costs more to travel 2nd class to London or the South coast alone by train than it does by car. The differentials aren’t just slight, they are way off. It’s crazy.
Geraldine Mitchell, ManchesterThe fact that the French and German nationalised train industries have shares in the most profitable lines in Britain should speak for itself.
David Lewis, YorkLet’s make public transport publicly owned and not for private profit.
Greg Logan, KirkcaldyBring back a publicly-owned and run national rail service.
Ian Thompson, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation of the railways was a big mistake. Let’s have an unfragmented system that really works.
Maureen Garnett, RochfordBritish Rail was so much more efficient and I could afford to use it. It’s out of my price range now.
