Teresa Wormald, KnaresboroughThe system requires unification. Trains used to connect with one another but no longer do so. Ticket purchase was much simpler and the ticket was valid for all lines.
Michael Timoney, WatfordTo maintain/build a world class transport solution, while protecting the livelihoods of future families (reasonable ticket prices/employment) we require one public body.
Conor Owens, EnniskillenWonderful campaign.
Simon Reading, SheffieldLet’s save public money by having a nationalised railway.
Christopher Thomson, ChelmsfordThe prices are beyond a joke. An end to privatised railway services must come.
Cheryl Jones, SheffieldGovernments in other countries recognise the value of public ownership of railways. The Labour Party should make it their policy.
Andree Rodriguez-Veglio, DaventryIt’s nonsense for fragmentation in so small a landmass. We all prefer train travel in a single network.
Janet Bungay, BidefordCompare and contrast British and Spanish (state-owned) railways. British are way down.
Michael Kemp, WoolpitBring back BR. Fares are a joke. Why can’t they stop putting up fares every January?
Gary Madden, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt should never have been sold off in the first place. We owned it, why did we need the chance to buy something we already owned. It was all about giving it to the rich.
Glyn Thompson, Appleby-In-WestmorlandIt is time to end the rip-off of privatisation and return former state assets to their rightful owners.
Steve Linter, CanterburyWe may have newer trains with WiFi, aircon etc., but overall we pay dearly for a worse service. Nearly £70 for a peak day Travelcard from Canterbury to London!
Kevin White, HaverfordwestBring back British Rail, a transport system for the people not the rich.
Michael Hall, CoventryPeople over profit.
Jon Rust, HolmfirthThe UK needs a public unified rail service for public transport.
Sam Horton, BarnsleySolidarity.
Simon Sandall, SwindonExcellent initiative. Rail prices are absolutely scandalous (some would say criminal) since privatisation.
Alan Coyle, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe rail service in Britain is a total disgrace due to privatisation. Time to take back control for the sake of passengers and employees.
Sohail Zafar, LondonAll strategic industries must be in state ownership.
Ray Freeman, BradfordThis country is too small and we must have British Rail.
David Glover, Chipping NortonWhy should we continue to put up with over inflation prices with profits going to the rich rather than being invested in providing a better train service.
Phillip Quarry, GloucesterFor the good of the planet, for the good for us. Transport is a necessity, and not for private profit.
Jack Coleman, CrawleyThe fair from Crawley to London is £35, for a distance of only 30 miles. This is unacceptable.
Jason Macdonald, PerthBring it into the people’s control.
Dave Gonzalez, OxfordshireLet’s fix this. One of the biggest mistakes in the ’90s.
Graham Robinson, FavershamI’m a past British Railways’ employee on Sealink.
Mark Pullen, RipleyI totally agree with bringing British Rail back. Instead of rail being in corporate hands, give it back to the people.
John Wood, LightwaterPrivatisation did not lead to lower fares and better service as we were promised.
Lorraine Harding, NottinghamPrivatised rail companies work for profit for their shareholders. Rail transport should be about the service and value for its customers.
Ido Morgenshtein, Bat Yam, IsraelNationalising the transportation industry is the best thing that can happen to any transportation system around the world.
