Steve Beesley, LeedsAll utilities needed by the nation should be owned by the nation and run for the nation, not for profit.
Karen Nadin, NewarkAll part of the Tory attempt to put all public services in private hands. Re-nationalise all public utilities as soon as possible.
Caroline Carmichael, Castle DouglasWe are tired of poor service, ever increasing fares and train times which keep changing. Privatisation has not worked. It is time to re-nationalise.
Yvonne Parks, BristolAs soon as possible please.
David Bowers, GlasgowEast Coast shows we can run trains, without private companies getting the subsidies for their profits.
Ben Moore, AlnwickI believe we should take the key utilities and infrastructure back into public ownership.
Jo Harrison, SouthamptonWe must bring back British Rail. How can it cost more to go by train to Scotland than it does to fly to anywhere in Europe?
Paul Higgins, HalesowenI fully support this idea.
Andrew Nix, LondonThe railways should be a public concern, serving the public, not wealthy shareholders.
Christopher Walker-Lyne, YorkPrivate isn’t necessarily better. We want a single national network, for ourselves, for accountability and not for profit. Bring back public ownership.
M Atkins, ChichesterSouthern Rail is a disgrace, negatively impacting the economy, businesses and peoples health and lives.
Maggie Gallimore, NottinghamJust give it back, please.
Ruby Makepeace, BrightonWhy is the government subsidising private companies when all their profits go to shareholders and not to improving the service?
Simon Mather, PrestonPrivatisation has led to higher fares and poorer service. We need a network run for the people not for profit as the current system isn’t working.
David Butcher, CarlisleBritish Rail was safer. The rail system we have now is dangerous.
Joanne Hughes, DerbyUnder privatisation standards have fallen whilst prices have risen. We should re-nationalise the railways.
Richard Weir, LeedsThe model set by East Coast line looks good to me.
Pauline Hammerton, ManchesterPrivatised rail companies are subsidised yet take profit. This is madness.
Duncan Jones, SmethwickIt needs to be affordable and effectively regulated.
Gwen Li Benga, IpswichThe government doesn’t care. Bring back our rail.
Greg McGurk, BillinghamI loved working for British Rail and it was never the same following privatisation.
Johnny Guest, ManchesterNationalise the railways.
Ethan Storey, ChichesterGet rid of Southern.
Marcus Dillistone, HexhamBritain’s railway system is in no-man’s-land comprising the worst of both worlds, and is thus unfit for purpose.
Marian Standen, LeedsOther countries have not privatised their rail networks and they work better and the fares are cheaper.
Jen Henderson, WarehamWe need our old Britain back.
Gill Page, BedalePrivatisation has been an expensive disaster. Re-nationalise.
David Whalley, OldhamPrivatisation was a huge mistake. A re-nationalised railway would be much better as long as the government invests the money needed.
Graham Warwick, ColchesterCommuting should be supported by a public service like power and water. Stop the money junkies taking over everything that once was part of social support for the citizen.
Andrew Cremin, Merthyr TydfilThe railways should be owned by the public, charging low price rail fares, owned by us, for the people, by the people.
