Barry Gooch, WantageThe fragmented and over-priced railways system which treats all commuters as cattle should be brought under Government control so that we can hold our MPs to account.
Alastair CurrieRailways are a service, and services should be run by the country for the people, not by individuals for a profit.
Mark Stewart, AyrPrivatisation was done on the cheap, supposedly to allow the firms to upgrade the network which they reneged on.
Johnny Guest, ManchesterNationalise the railways.
Michael Letwin, Brooklyn NYPrivatisation is not progress.
Frank Sander, Buffalo, USAI live in the USA and fully agree with this protest. Public transport should be public.
Graham Weeden, BedfordTime to ring the changes and scrap the private companies.
Matthew Loughlin, KempstonThe current system is not fit-for-purpose. It simply cannot continue. The government need to be bold and take control, for the sake of the people.
Henry Buckle, ActonWe talked about this idea over beer years ago. I can’t believe it’s happening.
Christine Platford, BrightonEssential services should all be nationalised.
Edward Gray, FulhamThis is a no-brainer.
Steve Andrews, LincolnPrivatisation was a terrible failure for commuters and a great win for greedy investors.
Anne Stephens, LancasterOh yes please, let’s return to the sanity of a nationalised rail system.
Donald Holden, AshfordThe railways were originally nationalised partly because of the lack of integration of all the operators. Re-privatisation has returned us to that chaotic situation.
Bill Parry, LiverpoolRe-nationalise all privatised concerns without compensation.
Tim Baker, West BridgfordEnough is enough. As a regular user of trains who experiences the ridiculous pricing, it’s time to get some standardising back to this public service.
Alan Robshaw, KidderminsterBring back BR and reduce these expensive fares.
Jennifer O’Toole, ManchesterI believe in bringing back British Rail because it is competitive and extremely good value for money. In fact I believe that privatising British Rail was disastrous.
Michael Atkinson, SheffieldThe privatised network results in a sterile environment in which profit comes before anything else.
Steve Huckle, SouthwickCertain things should be for the public good, not just private profit. The clue with this one is in the name – public transport. Energy is another one. Water too.
Julia Callow, BournemouthPrivatisation was supposed to be value for money. It isn’t. It is a failed experiment and it’s time we ended it.
Michael Knights, LondonStop the fat cats filling their pockets with tax payers’ money. Re-nationalise the railways now.
Nicky Whittenham, WeymouthI rely on public transport to travel to work and its cost is becoming prohibitive. Something needs to give.
Tom Dussek, BrightonPrivatisation has been an expensive lie. I want services brought back under public ownership.
Melbourne Chadwick, SheffieldRailways are for the people, not the Tory millionaire shareholders.
Jonathan Wise, DursleyCompare with any other railway in Europe, all state run and better.
David Waterhouse, StockportThe railways should never have been privatised and should be taken back into public ownership.
James Hobbs, BristolThe prices of rail travel in this country are disgusting and something has to be done about it. Cheaper rail prices would mean fewer people driving cars which means a greener country.
Dave Draycott, HalifaxAn efficient, well-run state railway with proper investment. Not subsidised ‘pretend’ markets.
Malcolm Smith, LondonIt’s outrageous the price I have to pay a month just to get to work. Every year it gets more and more expensive and the service gets worse.
