William Eldred, PeterboroughIt makes sense.
Alun Jones, New FerryI’m a retired train driver with 33 years service. The fragmentation of BR is not working
Janette Holt, GuisboroughWhat profit is made should go into government exchequers not privately run companies.
James Davies, LeedsI use East Coast trains which shows what state-owned trains can do for service and value for money. Let’s extend this to the rest of the network.
Arthur Bond, FromeIt cannot come soon enough. Unfortunately with the Tories what I call ‘idiotology’ prevents common sense from prevailing.
George Percy, North ShieldsThanks Dr Beeching. Power to the people.
John Greig, EdinburghNationalise the rail network.
Robert Slater, Herne BayNationalise the entire rail system, permanently.
Shelley Black, BradfordPrivatisation has not worked for taxpayers, passengers or rail staff. Put it right.
Joseph Bown, ChesterfieldThe East Coast line has proved that it can work and would work. Also they should kick this high speed rubbish in touch as well.
Jack Christie, AberdeenIt is now a privilege to commute. I want this to change for me, my family and my community!
Arthur Edis, DoncasterIt’s about time we had everything back. We may be able to afford to live then.
Nessie Mutch, StowtingI’m sick and tired of not being able to afford cheap rail travel anymore.
Rod Mathews, Richmond, North YorkshireIt should never have been privatised and we should be opening up the routes Beeching in his shortsightedness shut.
David Styles, London.Public transport is essential to any sensible society. A good public transport system is more efficient, cleaner and simply a better use of resources.
Miriam Yagud, DursleyBring it back and let’s make it democratically accountable.
Jocelyn Bailey, OrpingtonSoutheastern – French national railway. They inherently don’t care about UK. Our services have been cut each year, and the wrong stations get fast trains.
Sheena Vigors, WakefieldRail privatisation was one of the biggest mistakes of the last Tory government. All the evidence points to the need for re-nationalisation.
Jake Eiseman-Renyard, LondonPrivatisation is really backward. Our rail network has gone down the toilet, all in the name of private profits. Change it.
Michael Rowland-Hill, OrpingtonBritish Rail means getting there on time and at a fair price. Bring back what should never have gone.
Gerry McCartney, JohnstoneI’m keen to be involved in local transport campaigns. Please put me in touch with local union and other campaigners.
Hannah Harrison, ManchesterWhy are British train companies so bad?
Frank Beevers, MexboroughThe rail system is too important to be handed over to profiteers. Give it back to us.
Moira Garland, LeedsTransport to benefit the country should be run for public benefit, not profit. A unified system makes sense.
Donald Williams, LlanelliRe-nationalise our railways.
Mitchell Blythe, CanterburyThe rail network should be back under public ownership. It should never have been sold in the first place.
Steven Wood, GooleThe public service network – trains, roads, cycle lanes and buses is basically rubbish, badly run, expensive and always late, It needs laws to improve or sack those running it.
Andy Maltby, CambridgeBritain’s railways should be publicly owned and operated for the benefit of the country and not for shareholders.
Marcus Turley, LondonGet rid of the daylight robbers.
Eddie Kelly, PeterboroughI cannot believe that it is appropriate for German and French nationalised rail companies to run British Rail, while our own success stories, like East Coast Trains, cannot.
