Rob Smith, HawickBBBR.
Thomas Cooper, ManchesterI’m a rail enthusiast tired of trains always being late and so expensive.
Jane Marsh, YorkMake our railways cheaper and more convenient for everyone, not run by a private company only interested in lining shareholders’ and fat cats’ pockets.
Alan Britcher, SandyThe East Coast Main Line is running well under state ownership. Henry Ford said “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”
Joe Jordan, DundeeReturn all the land by the railway lines that has been misappropriated too.
Kevin Mulhall, NewarkI am ex BR retired (ill health) supervisor who lost my job because of the Iron Lady.
Liaqat Ali, SloughPrivatisation has only put profits first. They are mismanaging and not considering passenger needs and safety issues.
David James, LeedsEssential services should be run by the public for the public. Profits and subsidies should be ploughed back in and not go into the pockets of private investors.
Paul Leeper, TelfordPeople before profit. Fairness and justice for all.
John Wood, CromartyEnough is enough.
Patricia Crow, JarrowIt should be a service, not a cash cow for shareholders.
Jean Berry, NottinghamIt’s much better to have the government running the rail system for the good of the country and not shareholders.
Fabio Massei, Livorno, ItalyPrivatisation has simply meant expensive tickets for commuters (and also tourists). I’m Italian and I can’t understand how British people have accepted this unfair system.
Martin Randle, CambridgeIt should never have been privatised.
Frank Lerner, LondonThe nation’s infrastructure must belong to the people.
Sarah Linton, RochesterIf it ain’t broke don’t mend it.
Rich Brassett, SawbridgeworthAt present no improvement in service or train conditions but yearly prices increase.
Gareth Bridges, SwindonBring back British Rail.
John Robinson, LincolnThe franchise system isn’t working. We need proper trains with enough coaches so that people can travel in comfort and at reasonable prices.
David Crabtree, EynshamThe railway should be run by the people for the benefit of the people. The only successful rail companies are state-owned. Bring them all back and stop this madness.
Tony Nicholson, SouthamptonI miss BR. I could travel across the country in slack time for peanuts and now I need a computer just to sort out how to get there and how much it will cost me.
David McintoshAs rail passenger numbers grow and the calls for the reopening of closed lines increase, action must be taken!
Michael Ellis, HonitonPublic transport is for the public good not for private profit.
Rona Hunnisett, CheamHowever bad BR was, nothing can match the horror of the Southern Rail service. It must stop.
David Jackson, NottinghamA privatised railway is bound to put profits before passengers and often safety is compromised for the sake of profits as well.
Marian Standen, LeedsOther countries have not privatised their rail networks and they work better and the fares are cheaper.
Susan Roberts, NottinghamThe railway system of this country is too important to be left to private companies to run. We want more public accountability for rail services and pricing.
Duncan Rose, ManchesterWe had something good going. Re-nationalise now.
Andrew McKay, Downham MarketTransport should be easy, effective and as cheap as feasible. How else do you clear the roads of pollution and chaos?
Kenny Leonard, HockleyBring back a service that puts passengers before profits. Let’s build a British Rail to be proud of.
