Simon Lumley, HungerfordGoing on public transport is like a visit to the third world.
Bryan Parker, CarlisleThe sooner the better!
Louise Bishop, YorkAll profits should be ploughed back into the railway, not people’s pockets.
Ann Bywater, LoughboroughMore profits for public services, less to greedy shareholders.
John Mills, BridgendAll rail services should be brought back under public ownership, not left to the mercy of corporate profiteers.
Rona Hunnisett, CheamHowever bad BR was, nothing can match the horror of the Southern Rail service. It must stop.
Tracy Nelson, DartfordThe trains at the moment are an absolute joke – expensive and always late. Privatisation was supposed to improve train services, but this was a lie. Bring back BR now.
Kevin Blenkinsopp, Bishop AucklandBritish trains should be run and owned by Britain, not overseas companies.
Lesley Jones, HullIt just makes sense to me – people before profit. That goes for all the other utilities (gas/electricity/water) that have been privatised for the rich to make more money.
Fraser Smalley, MorecambeMake our transport a not-for-profit organisation. It make sense. Why are we paying businesses to run it?
John Stephens, BedfordThe dis-aggregated British Rail does not work for passengers; it works for shareholders.
Anne Martin, KirkcaldyI miss opportunities provided by trains. I can’t afford them now.
Sean Cole, GravesendAn embarrassment to our country, and legitimately a large source of much misery in my life.
Paul Inman, Weston-super-MareGive us back that which was stolen from us – our railways.
Alfie Venner Woodcock, LondonLong journeys using more than one train company are hell. These competing train companies are by nature disinclined to co-operate, directly disadvantaging the traveller.
Naomi Quinn, Greater ManchesterThe current system is a disgrace, with customers exploited and victimised for profit. Train companies use their legal advantage to extort huge sums for innocent mistakes.
William Dickson, GrangemouthFirst East Coast trains and now Eurostar. What asset will be next?
Stephen Thomas, ReigateInfrastructure should not be privately owned, it should be publicly owned and run for best performance and value, not raw profiteering.
Richard Scott, ChesterThis looks like a wonderful idea.
Joseph Pakenham, GlasgowIf the amount invested in subsidies since privatisation had happened to BR, there’d never have been an excuse to privatise it.
John Murdy, Lytham St AnnesThey should never have been privatised. The railway has been in decline ever since.
Rosemary Morgan, BirminghamOur rail network should be seamless and better regulated for the benefit of the customers, not shareholders.
Steve Tolton, HockleyI would like to see our railways supported more effectively by our government to reflect the critical role railways play economically and socially.
Chris Yates, NorthwichThis needs to happen. What is the use of a train that is less than half-filled to capacity when you charge through the nose? Give British Rail back to the people.
Shirley Cameron, SheffieldTrains are too expensive and too crowded.
Brian Christie, DoncasterWe need a more coherent, less fragmented service – one that co-operates with and not ignores the users.
Darren Nutting, WrenthorpeLet’s make Britain a success again.
Harry Barnett, NorwichI’m tired of poor rolling stock at the expense of shareholders’ profits, both on Southern and Greater Anglia.
Christine Rogers, BirminghamI am totally fed up with trains not being synchronised, not turning up, being very uncomfortable and often impossibly overcrowded.
Mike Morris, SwanseaI’m fed up with Arriva Trains’ poor and expensive service (if you can call it a service).
