Steve Walsh, YorkIt’s a bloody farce now.
John Doyle, AddlestonePrivatisation is for the few to get stinking rich. The clue is in the word private.
Lewis Hart, St. AlbansI am a member of UKIP, yet both I and some of my friends who are further right than the Tories agree nationalisation of the rails is necessary. This appeals to everyone.
Sarah Gregson, OxfordWhy are we subsidising a rail network so that private companies make a profit?
Peter Manuel, StornowayEast Coast was a excellent service. Why let Virgin take it over? ScotRail is a disaster – dirty, unpunctual trains.
Olive Reah, BlackburnPlease keep railways British.
Charles Batten, LondonBR belonged to the whole nation, a national asset belonging to all of us which was sold off by an inhumane government.
Suzanne Turner-Inglis, BlackpoolWe need this for everyone.
Keoni Kailimai, LondonBring back our rail for all.
John Pallister, HullAs the railway is a public service, it should be owned by the public.
Lynn Stewart, LondonWe need a change. The way things are now is appalling. We need trains to get to work and they just aren’t working and the companies don’t care. We need a change.
Murray Grigor, InverkeithingNo other country ever divided their nationally-owned railway into so many disparate pieces to create the most expensive system in the world.
Tarquin Gotch, LewesIt could not be worse than Southern Rail.
Luke Bristow, BasildonC2C commuter, crowded expensive rubbish.
Alan Holtom, WorcesterBus companies have no idea how to run railways. I’m a rail worker with 40 years service. What a mess.
Jon WallerLet’s bring them all back . Why should people profit from others’ misery?
Max Morgan-Lucas, DissI want a cheaper and more reliable service. Bring British Rail back!
Colin Partington, WirralThe rail system is fine if you’re just going from A to B. If you’re going to C and need to change at D, and the second leg is with a different company – good luck with that!
Jessica Clark, PresteigneI’m utterly disgusted with the rail service as it currently runs. I can’t tell you the number of times my journey has been ruined. I’m truly fed up.
John Smith, AbingdonPrivate TOCs take the profits while the UK public accept all the risks at present. How can that ever be a fair system?
Stephanie Lemmon, KentMoney, money, money and greed. That’s all it is. Exploiting those who don’t have any other choice but to travel by train.
Evereld Carroll Trevor, Richmond, North YorkshirePlease bring back British Rail. Then perhaps one could get a seat, in a clean train that arrives safely on time.
Frank Lerner, LondonThe nation’s infrastructure must belong to the people.
Warren Sherwin, BoltonA privatised rail network can’t work, does not work and will never work.
Sam Horton, BarnsleySolidarity.
Roshan Tajapra, LondonYou know something is going wrong when it is cheaper to drive to work than take the train.
Stuart Raine, WhitchurchWhen will the government see the light? The over-priced, under-resourced privatised rail network needs to be back with the people.
Krystal Garnett, MerseysideInvest in the rail network as part of our strategic national infrastructure.
Michele Smith, Melton MowbrayThe countries which run the best train services are owned, or part-owned by their governments – e.g. Switzerland, Germany.
Paul DaviesThe current situation is appalling. When I was a youngster I wouldn’t hesitate to get the train to London, but I need an extension on the mortgage to go now.
