John ConleyReturning to British Rail would simplify all the Ticket Clerks’ jobs greatly.
Roger Higgs, BudeThe provision of essentials like water, power and transport should obviously not be in private hands.
Paul Alexander Sherwood, ThirskAlthough I have strong Conservative views, railways and energy supplies (gas and electricity) should never have been privatised. The greed of these companies is obscene.
John Reeves, EdenbridgeTell me what I can do to help.
Oliver Banks, Shoreham-by-SeaInitially my hatred lay with Southern Rail (before that Connex). Now It lies with the idiotic decision to privatise in the first place. Bring back nationalised services.
Vince Lardner, WorthingPrivatisation has worked for the few and not the many, the service is getting worse and costing more to pay dividends. End it, give us BR back now.
Jill Green, OxfordPlease do it now. You must know it makes sense.
Martin Lakie, WorcesterEnd fragmentation, ridiculous complexity, huge hidden subsidies and profiteering now.
Andrew Laggan, Newcastle-upon-TyneInvestment is badly needed in our railways, better lines and faster trains to benefit whole of country. Standards have been in decline for far too long.
Michael Jordan, ManchesterWhy should we the people be paying 5 times more tax to subsidise these foreign companies that are charging us the highest ticket prices in Europe! Bring back BR!
Sophie McKeand, WrecsamI use rail services all the time and the cost is ridiculous. Train users are being robbed. Nationalisation is the only answer to ensure us a fair deal.
Margaret Robinson, Yarm-on-TeesA nationalised railway system would put people before profits.
Adrian Ashwell, BrightonI’m outraged that huge public subsidies and high fares make massive profits for overseas based companies.
Ricky MillingI would love to go to explore England more during the weekends, but the price of travel just stops me. This is why rural towns and villages are closing down.
Robert Masters, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt’s a total waste of taxpayers’ money, which is going straight into the bank accounts of greedy people.
Paul Stevens, MatlockA usable, affordable rail network is a vital part of tackling climate change.
Stephen Pearce, BridgendPrivatisation has been a great success at widening the wallets of the shareholders and robbing those who actually need the money.
Ria Hartley, BristolBring back British Rail.
Caroline Joyce, LondonI have worked in the rail industry and seen first hand how privatisation and greed has corrupted the industry and the quality of service.
Nan Parkinson, NorthamptonYes please.
David Lewis-Baker, BathWe need to bring to an end this, the worst of a series of appalling privatisations.
Terry Young, New MaldenRe-nationalise everything – gas, water electricity – all the things a country needs to flourish.
Andrew Mackie, DundeeI currently can’t buy a house because the train fare for my wife to attend university is too high, over 3 grand a year. That’s more than 12% of my yearly income.
Kim Boon, BarnsleyBreaking up railways breaks up communications, so we’re isolated in the north. HS2 won’t make things any better for Barnsley either.
Barry Jones, Mountain AshBring back BR, but with people running it that care about public enterprise and properly financed.
Kathleen White, EdinburghPlease provide affordable, decent transport for the public. Transport should not be for shareholders’ profit.
Dave Makin, KetteringIf BR had had the same financial injection of cash that Network Rail is having the whole network would have been modernised by now.
Peter BatemanA fine campaign, but sadly facing an uphill struggle against politicians who cannot see what is obvious to everyone else.
Oliver Hickmet, LondonEnough is Enough. Stop robbing people and making their lives a misery. All everyone wants is to be able to get to their job at an affordable cost.
Louis Boyce, Kingston-upon-ThamesOnce upon a time we, the common people of the UK, did own BR. Then we gave it away to the rich kids to play with.
