David Hurst, Newcastle-upon-TyneNow Thatcher has gone, it’s time we erased the odious Me! Me! Me! legacy she and her minions left behind and saw the return of services run for people, not profit.
Kevin McGrath, Great YarmouthI’m an ex-BR permanent way worker, back in the days when we knew every inch of the track in our area.
Richard Gillanders, LondonIf private enterprise can/will not run Railtrack/Network Rail, why should it operate the profit-making parts and hold fare-payers to ransom for an essential service?
Barrie Lindsey, Stockton-on-TeesEast Coast Rail is proof that a nationalised rail service would be good for both the public and the Chancellor.
Julia Inch, EnfieldBritish Rail belonged to us before the sell-off and privatisation but we want it back nationalised and belonging to us again.
Michelle Drummond, Newcastle upon TynePublic ownership is the way forward.
Linda Johnson-Laird, Waltham AbbeyI’m totally behind this movement. Bring it on.
Paul Atkinson, MelbourneBR was stolen from the UK tax payer, and now makes fat cat profit, on the foundation of all the work and tax we paid for many years.
James Robinson, WindsorI don’t see why it was ever privatised in the first place. It only lead to higher prices and a poorer service. The government’s purse hasn’t even benefitted.
Maurice Zeegen, WatfordI’m with you.
Geoff Wilson, SheffieldYes, we’ve tried privatisation and it has made a complete mess of public transport. Let’s go back to what the rest of the world respects UK for, not for profit service.
Simon Kelleher, LondonHow can our fares be so expensive in comparison with other countries? I’ve had to cancel a day trip because the fare was simply too much – there are no winners here.
Graham Spence, Newcastle-upon-TyneEveryone knows it makes sense.
Derek Jones, TyldesleyThe so called privatisation is costing the tax payer more than the nationalised railway ever did with duplication of jobs. Surely it’s time to stop this nonsense?
Mellory Darlington, BurntwoodThe present system is chaos.
Matt Campbell, LeedsThe state-owned SNCF in France is fast, efficient, affordable and reliable. Pull your finger out Britain and copy this world class model.
Terry Bennett, BirminghamPrivatising Britain’s railways was wrong. Train operating companies are interested in the shareholders and not the travelling public.
Martyn Jowett, TarporleyThe rail system should be run for the benefit of the majority not the financial well-being of the few. We demand change now.
Paul Higgins, HalesowenI fully support this idea.
Brian Howes, BinghamPrivatisation has been a complete failure for the ordinary person in the UK, not only the railways, but anything else you care to name.
Nea McKeon, Albuquerque, USAI loved British Rail as a tourist. I miss it.
Colin Gill, CambridgeRailways are a service, not for profiting shareholders with taxpayers’ money.
Maurice Thomas, UxbridgeExpect nothing to happen with the Tories.
Denis Howe, LondonPassengers before profits.
Robin Watkins, SudburyAs a former revenue protection officer, I strongly support this campaign as I’ve seen the impact of privatisation first hand and it has destroyed staff morale.
Ryan McGrath, BristolPrivatised train services are a rip-off.
Graham Askew, CambridgePrivate profit never serves people.
George Odlum, LondonRail enthusiast from London. Bring back British Rail.
John Wood, LightwaterPrivatisation did not lead to lower fares and better service as we were promised.
Jonathan Evans, LlanelliThis campaign really matters. Bring back a nationally funded and controlled network now – and investment which benefits us all, and the environment too.
