Trevor Walsh, OldhamRe-nationalise and keep the profits to be invested in the infrastructure.
David Stride, FarehamRail for the community and country and not for private profit.
Conor Murphy, HuddersfieldNationalised means better fares, better service and direct, competent ownership. Look at DB in Germany. Public can also mean profit.
Richard Hart, BromleyRailways are a service and not for private profit.
Crispin Howell-Jones, RomfordThe effect of privatising the railways has been that we pay vastly more than we need for our tickets and vastly more to subsidise the companies as well.
R E Kenner, OxfordInvestment by central government for a national asset to enhance the infrastructure is the best way out of this mess.
Andree Mehew, LondonBecause it’s the best.
Hannah Rogers, MayfieldTrain tickets are unaffordable and driving is cheaper.
Kirk Martin, LondonWhy are our train operating companies now owned by bus companies and French and German state railways – not our Government?
Stephanie Dearden, LondonStop selling our services to Germany and Holland. They wouldn’t like it if we interfered with their railways.
Gill Cookson, Sennen CoveRe-nationalising the railways is the only rational solution.
Stephen Davis, BristolI fully agree. Overpriced and complicated. It costs more to go to London than it does to fly to Spain. Profit of BR goes back into the country and not into private hands.
Colin Clarke, Bexhill-on-SeaYes, let’s have all the money in the public service, not private profit.
Terry Folkman, DidcotIt’s an absolute shambles.
Norman Anderson, SheffieldBritish Rail is what it says it is – British. Give it back to the country.
Andrew Green, SwanseaBig profits, low investment, disastrous service. Change is needed now.
Robert Worley, LondonBring back British Rail.
Jim Hamilton, Rowley RegisThe only part that has been privatised is the profit.
Shahin Sharabyani, LondonRail transport is too important to leave to penny-pinching private companies. If it wasn’t, why are we spending so much taxpayer money on HS2?
Jeremy Evans, BrightonI love nationalised trains.
Geoff Walker, Stoke-on-TrentTime for a real change in politics, time for the nation’s good and the welfare of all, not just shareholders.
Karen Roberts, WilmslowI think it would be better to have a cohesive system with a more standardised level of service and quality and straight-forward pricing.
Keith Hitchings, QueenboroughIt should never have been sold off in the first place.
Malcolm Davison, GatesheadWe have a ridiculously fragmented and expensive rail system. It is time it was taken back into public ownership.
Jess Golden, BournemouthThe price of train tickets these days is ridiculous. I am a very regular traveller and it costs me far more than I should have to pay for the distance I’m going. BBBR.
Tim Hughes, YorkThe basic premise of privatisation is flawed.
Pier Hausemer, SalisburyIt can be done, if only there is a political will. Do it for the people of Great Britain.
Vincent Jackson, LondonNo justice, No peace
S J Wilson, PeterboroughIt was cheaper to run and safer when nationalised.
Margaret Garland, AylesburyThe railway network should never have been privatised in the first place.
