Sascha Humphrey, DeptfordThe rail system is the backbone of any country. We need a rail system that serves our country, not exploits it!
Paul Llewellin, BristolStop privatising public services.
Paula Du Luc, RedhillWe need to stop governments selling off our British services to other countries. Make our railways British again.
Peter Bailey, CambridgeSucking profit out of transport has left it disorganised, expensive and fragmented.
Ben Thornton, BristolCapitalism serves the elite.
Matthew Warren, BuryEnd corporate welfare. If we start with this small sector, it will snowball, then we can re-nationalise the oligarchs’ portfolios – gas, electricity etc.
Patricia Jones, BirkenheadIt’s no joke when you can’t visit your family as much as you would like due to over-inflated fares.
Paul Geraghty, WarringtonRe-nationalise British Rail to be run for the people not private profit. You know it makes sense.
Angus Brown, EdinburghRe-nationalise British Rail!
Henry Sherridan, DoncasterNo to privatisation.
Billie Soule, GraysStop charging the taxpayers double. Not only do the public pay their fares, but then they pay the train operators’ shareholders as well, by way of subsidies.
Janette Scrivens, SalisburyThe money wasted on the whole project of privatisation is criminal. It was cheaper under BR to run the trains.
Jonathan Futrell, PadstowTake profit out of the equation and we will have a British Rail that works and of which the nation can be proud.
Paul De La Cruz, LeedsUK rail is controlled by directors who never get the train. Give us back our rail services that used to be on time, clean and British.
Jeff TaylorWe need you British Rail.
Sylvia Webb, SunburyIt feels as if it’s all disintegrated. Make it function properly by joining up the pieces.
Sheila Lovelady, EasthamWorst things to happen, first that wretch Beeching then privatisation. A good thing is to restore it to what it was.
Peter Farrell, Tunbridge WellsThey’re not just privatising everything they can get their hands on. They’re closing all former nationalised industries. A socialist programme of action is the only answer.
Christopher Fincham, BeverleyIt’s time to bring back public services into public ownership.
Patricia Wilson, MerseysideIt should never have been privatised and now it’s gone to ruin, no money has been spent on it and all has been banked for the owners.
Angela Woolhouse, St. AustellPrivatised rail has got out of hand, when it cost more to take a rail journey than to fly to another country.
Wendy Turner, NottinghamThe current rail system is a mish-mash of over-priced, under-performing cash-cow for the shareholders. Let’s return to a joined-up service.
Thomas Davis, LondonI believe the new rail ticket design is confusing for all and unfair for people with sight problems. The design needs to revert back to the old one.
Brian Cowan, PrestonOK Osborne, we know you have failed with your debt reduction promise. Don’t sell off the crown jewels to cover your mistakes.
Dawn Chamberlain, LiskeardOur rail and utility companies should never have been sold off in the first place.
Dan Harrison, TynemouthBring back British Rail and keep the profits here.
Jennifer Ross, BedlingtonInstead of subsidising shareholders, we should be making profits for the benefit of the entire population of the UK.
Ian Kerr, BasingstokeThe sooner the better. Privatisation has only benefitted the shareholders. Never mind what the passengers have to suffer.
