Peter Underwood, BirminghamStop the rip-off by private rail firms.
John Patrick Connolly, Saltburn by the SeaThe best rail service in the UK is the East Coast line, and that’s state-run.
Samuel Moini, Milton KeynesBring the ownership of British Railways into the hands of the people.
Wendy Hewlett, St Leonard’s-on-SeaIt should never have been privatised. Let’s get it back to how it was – having a national timetable. Bliss.
Dan Bain, PerranporthPointless instant gratification policy, shown to be a terrible decision.
Allan Robinson, SussexWe need a railway that’s a source of pride not profit.
Anthony Coombs, BuckinghamshireThe current system is not working and the only solution is a single integrated rail system that is publicly owned.
Helen George, LondonRail transport should be run for the benefit of the public not shareholders.
Sean Armstrong, LondonHaving lived and travelled in mainland Europe, I now know we have the worst and worst value trains. It needs to change.
Peter Hill, MorecambeState-supported railways in Europe own companies in this country and attract tax payers’ subsidy here. European rail systems win. British tax payers/travellers lose out. Mad.
Shirley Cameron, SheffieldTrains are too expensive and too crowded.
Alex Allardyce, LeicesterIt’s time to take back all that was stolen from the British public.
Tobias Abse, LondonThe railways are getting worse and worse under private ownership.
Mick Green, TotnesEnough of the madness. Re-nationalise now.
Phil Gwyn, CardiffWe need a government which is radical enough to make the changes needed throughout the numerous Industries butchered by previous Thatcher – like governments.
Jenny Garcia, CambridgeBring back a real national service that is affordable and serves the transport needs for now and future generations.
Lynn Lansbury, SandownWin votes by doing something for the people.
Judith Joy, SkiptonPrivatisation only works for the owners and their shareholders. Return to BR now.
Joseph Bown, ChesterfieldThe East Coast line has proved that it can work and would work. Also they should kick this high speed rubbish in touch as well.
Richard Fraser-Tait, RydeRail should be publicly-owned – and water.
John O’Neill, GlasgowRe-nationalise Britain’s railways. BBBR.
James Vaughan, LondonPrivatisation has proved to be a mess – and nationalisation in the form of East Coast a success. The maths is on our side.
Ian Halstead, HullPoking our digits into the tyranny of spreadsheets.
Paul Harnwell, BasildonWhat they have done to the railways is a joke. The fares keep going up and up for a very poor service.
Alison Clark, High WycombeCompared to other rail networks and general transport services abroad, the UK costs are sky high. We want better than this.
Alan Perkins, CanterburyShort-sighted dogma caused the chaos.
Neil Ainsby, IckletonPassengers not profit.
Albertina Benedetti-Hall, LondonThere might be a few things the private sector is better suited for than the public, but this is not it. Re-nationalise.
Dave Boyle, GraysIt’s disgraceful. It never should have been allowed to be privatised.
Deborah Fitchew, LetchworthBring back British Rail – used by the people of the World – which should not have been privatised.
