David Graham, West YorkshireThe East Coast line shows how it should be done.
Richard Lockwood, HeckmondwikeBring it back into public ownership before we are ripped off again with the sale of the East Coast Line.
DarrenIn the final years of British Rail, the Intercity sector was actually making a profit. Splitting Intercity into 6 companies was just madness!
James McCourt, GatesheadRising prices, unreliable service, don’t know who is ultimately responsible. Bring back BR so that we have a clean and well managed service.
Suzanne Jefford, LeicesterStop the ridiculous system where it’s cheaper to travel by car to London than it is by train, leaving empty trains and overcrowded motorways.
Dee Grimes, LewesWe need to own the railways. They were on time, clean and often newly refurbished, and there was cheaper food.
Charlotte O’Neill, LondonBritish rail services are getting more expensive and worse and we are being taken for a ride (no pun intended) It must stop.
Connor Gray, FarehamThe idea of running a key transport service for profit with no real competition has seen prices rise and no improvement in service. This is pricing out many people.
Robert Bonner, Burton-upon-TrentI’m in full support of the re-nationalisation of the railway network.
Joseph Callow, BournemouthIt is absolutely ludicrous that the national rail is privatised with the fares going up every year faster than wages are increasing. They need to be re-nationalised.
Paula Marley, SheffieldI love trains and rail travel but cannot afford to use them under the current capitalist system.
Maureen Smith, Sutton ColdfieldI preferred British Rail. It would be more cohesive, good for people, lower fares.
Koto Senyo, LondonBring back British Rail.
Paul Medley, LondonIt makes me sick that taxpayer’s money is spent on rail upgrades, via Network Rail, whilst these private train companies are making huge profits.
Royston Hocking, Tunbridge WellsGive it back.
Alastair Gill, BrandestonIt’s high time we put an end to profiteering and put the passenger first again.
John Hammond, YeovilKeep up the good work.
Fran Waight, HertfordWe would have a better and cheaper railway if it was re-nationalised.
Annie Pye, BathTrains are a vital part of our national transport infrastructure which must serve public transport needs across the whole of the country, not private profit-takers.
Bruce Williams, DyffrynHaving worked for BR as a signalman for 20 years, I have seen our railway system slowly deteriorate into the shambles it is now.
Mike Sollitt, YorkBus companies owning the railways for clear conflict of interest/cartel/profit. What could possibly go wrong?
Scott NyeWhy is it considered reasonable for a private train company with a monopoly to fleece its customers in order to fund investment to its infrastructure?
Derrick Jones, Stockton-on-TeesBritish Rail should be for the people not for getting fat cats fatter,
Annek Bulmer, Stockton-on-TeesPrivatisation isn’t working.
Les Lazell, PeterboroughIt’s our railway and should not be for private profit.
Rose Chaney, BridportThe rail system is not working for travellers but shareholders and higher management are still making plenty of money. Our railways need to change.
Julie Holland, SunburyExtortionate prices, no seats and no competition. Bring back British Rail.
Andy Boyd, EdinburghTake a utility out of profiteers’ hands for the benefit of the people.
John Darrell, YorkA non-profit railway system that is affordable for everyone and which serves the people not just the rich.
