Sue O’Connell, LeighThe national railways ought to belong to everyone in the country and not be just for the benefit of the shareholders.
Ralph Butler, SouthportIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Steve Ferguson, HuntlyThe government bought the railways before. Make them do it again.
Martyn Tupper, LondonThe rolling stock is ancient, fares are extremely high, service is poor. Where has the money gone, certainly not on improving our train network?
Dean Mander, King’s LynnGreat campaign. How I long for a rational national transport system that is not driven by a free market ideology but by forward thinking policies that put the planet first.
David Knapp, St AlbansThe network should never have been sold off. It’s become a nightmare to travel on the network now and way too costly.
Ian McCall, LlanidloesThe current service is expensive, unfriendly and wasteful.
Jill Hancock, DurhamEast Coast is in public hands and doing well. It should stay public. Profits are returned to taxpayers.
Fiona Nelson, Berwick-upon-TweedI would travel by train a lot more if the fares were more affordable.
Trevor Ellis, DoverLet our state run our railways and not other countries’ nationalised systems. Let the profits go back into the network and not into shareholders’ pockets.
Sandra Kell, RiponPlease re-unify. Our country is too small for lots of separate railways.
Philip Jones, FlintBritish Rail had its faults but it was run for the benefit of great Britain not foreign conglomerates.
George Holmes, SaddleworthA six mile journey on my rural Yorkshire line costs £5.80 for a single (Greenfield to Marsden) and the service is only one train per hour. BBBR!
Pavel Bogatinov, LondonWelcome to SW Trains – your favourite overcrowded and delayed transport from Hell.
Ian Bailey, DarlingtonStop the rot. Bring it back.
Jack Clare, ManchesterI’m fed up with ridiculous train fares.
Christopher Wilson-Cooch, PrestonIf we live in a free country, how is it that many people cannot afford to get from one end of it to the other? The free market has failed and it’s time to re-nationalise.
John Murray, GillinghamIf we get it back into public hands I hope we get fair prices so that we can enjoy our country on the trains.
David Binns, LeedsTrain tickets are too expensive and the local services are simply not good enough.
Colin Flowerday, HoltWe want British Rail back running great trains, not a rubbish privatised service.
Gill Green, BoltonI’ll share because I care.
Vanessa Bowen, HarrogateI believe that railways should be run for the people and not for private profit. This is such an important service and decisions should be made in the interests of the public.
Swatantra Nandanwar, BasildonLets get British Rail back on track after the disaster of privatisation.
Daniel Romberg, NorthamptonThe car is out-dated and a city planning nightmare. The government should encourage people to use sustainable, environmentally-friendly modes of transport like the trains.
Tim Mustin, Haywards HeathBring back British Rail. Southern Rail is a disgrace!
Bruce Cooper, Herne BayAny profit should be re-invested, not lining the pockets of owners.
Lauren Conway, BarnsleyIt is important that the general public are provided with reliable, affordable transport and it should be public.
Colin FlowerdayBritish Rail had the blue and white train livery you knew you could trust and rely on, not like this new bunch of idiots.
James Martin, WickfordA long-suffering Abellio Greater Anglia customer.
C L Gamble, DundeeAward winning companies stripped of their franchises & worse… the march downward to profit focused services above all other concerns is harmful on so many levels.
