Tony Laidler, RytonMake it happen now.
Chris Coldwell, LancasterBring back BR. Successful state run systems are found across Europe. Bring back ours.
Iain WoodfieldA great place to start. Then we can see about bt and the other utilities.
Jane McGrath, BradfordAnother national asset sold off for the profit of the fat cats who support the Tory party.
James Parsons, LondonThe rail network is a joke in its current state, and the most expensive in Europe.
Dave Oldfield, BrightonThey should never have been privatised.
Kitty Webster, LondonTrains should be run for the people that use them, not the shareholders.
Mike Gordon, BarnstapleModern train travel is not what it should be, with high fares, delayed or cancelled trains, overcrowding and so it goes on. BR was not perfect but at least they tried.
Merlyn Cooper, AberystwythOne rail, one service, one monopoly. That’s not how capitalism optimises a service. Utilities are not for private ownership.
Terence Ward, WickfordThis issue is the reason why I have no time for people who vote for right wing political parties.
Richard Lockwood, HeckmondwikeBring it back into public ownership before we are ripped off again with the sale of the East Coast Line.
Mellory Darlington, BurntwoodThe present system is chaos.
Betty Eade, LeedsPrivatisation does not bring automatic success. Look at G4, for example. It usually means increased prices and poorer service.
Margaret Thomas, AshingtonCivilised society demands good public services and jobs with fair conditions of service.
Stephen Clibbens, HarrogatePublic transport should benefit the public, not a few shareholders.
Susan Farquharson, BexhillGovernment should be putting money into the rail infrastructure. It should not be run as a business as the fares are ridiculously high.
Leslie Wallage, South OckendonTransport should not be in private hands purely for profit.
Bob Williams, FlitwickRailways are for everyone, not just their shareholders.
Maria Ali, ManchesterHelp more people commute and get to work cheaply.
Andy Morten, FromeIt’s about time somebody seriously considered this.
Paul Taylor, MatlockThe current system is the chaotic and dysfunctional result of the disastrous selling of public assets and needs to be brought back into the modern public realm. Good Luck.
Robert Collis, ChesterfieldI remember when it was affordable to travel by train. It’s far too expensive these days, so I use my car. I’m not paying for the greedy fat cats’ huge salaries and bonuses.
Gillian Harris, LancingRailways for progress not private profit. One government-owned company for cheap fares and efficiency.
Steven Mitchell, ChesterIt’s time to end this ridiculous gravy train funded by the taxpayer.
Vanessa Rambridge, PrestonPlease re-nationalise our railways, as the privatisation of them is not working. We do not have to make a profit as it all goes into the pockets of the wealthy shareholders.
Arwen Nicholson, CambridgeThe fares are ridiculous and unfair. Rail travel is far more environmentally friendly than car driving and should be affordable for all.
Martin DawsonWe should begin making our own rolling stock again and create work and jobs
Douglas Searle, RotherhamAlthough, fortunately, I no longer have to use the rail service as much as I had to before retirement, I find that the difference in pricing and such like is a minefield.
Roger Drion, DurhamAll services in the country should only be owned by the British people.
