Bring back British Rail.

George Sanderson, Leicester

The joke is on us and it’s time we said ‘enough is enough’.

James McAlpine, Inverness

The current situation sees a monopoly and expensive fares whilst we still subsidise billions into the private sector when it should be going to the national purse.

Steve Burdekin, London

And we are going nowhere ’til the trains are nationalised!

Ffran Jones

Public transport should not be privately owned.

Liam Callaghan, Sheffield

Privatisation was for political ends only. The new investment that has been made could have been made by the Government.

Jon Tarrant, Wirral

Bring back British rail. Stop robbing the British public.

Ed Jasion, London

Bring back British Rail

Elliot Ferenc, Rochdale

It was never theirs to sell.

David Cairns, Blandford

As an ex BR employee I am very aware of how standards of customer service have declined to near extinction in the past 30 years.

Bill Moss, London

This is just one of the assets stolen from the people by John Major’s government. The railway should be returned in good condition after all that subsidy.

Michael Attard, Newton Abbot

Train fares have become ridiculously too expensive while at the same time taking finances out of the British infrastructure and investing into networks such as DB.

James Riley, Morley

Privatisation of the railways was a big mistake. Let’s have an unfragmented system that really works.

Ian Thompson, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

We have the worst rail network in Europe. It’s time to undo the damage caused by Major’s privatisation. A network run for the many and not for the profits of a few.

Lewis Cox, London

We need a re-nationalised railway network that offers a consistent, reliable service, value for money for the tax-payer, and a simple, sensible and fair pricing structure.

Andrew Shore, Nottingham

I’m bored with trains being expensive, overcrowded and rubbish.

Joseph Whibley, Exmouth

We need a decent, integrated rail service in this country.

Marilyn Muffett, Somerton

Private Profit – Ripping us all off.

James Gillespie, Edinburgh

I work shifts and I’m fed up with sparse trains outside 9-5. I work in TV. Would you like it if I stopped your favourite programme because I had to get the last train?

Matt Kingsnorth, Chelmsford

More than just British rail should be brought back in to public ownership in my mind.

Matthew Harris, Newport

Save us from these money-hungry men.

Joe Cruise, Chesterfield

I support a unified, nationalised rail network for the UK, run as a public service, not for private shareholder profit.

Dean Williams, Stevenage

Trains are over-priced, over-crowded and never on time. Prices rise yet service get worse.

Helen Bright, London

Privatisation doesn’t work. Railways are infrastructure.

Laura Cooper, South Brent, Devon

People deserve a safe, reliable rail service that is affordable.

John Farrar, Stoke-on-Trent

We need a service controlled by the people for the people.

Kevin Johnson, Norwich

Enough was enough in 1994.

Ian Clark, Oswestry

I wasn’t around when British Rail was running, but when I see other European countries with railways of a quality almost unrecognisable to us in Britain, I want BR.

Peter Staker, Edinburgh

Private companies are parasites and need stopping in all areas but the railways is a start. This country for the people of this country.

Daniel Hoing, Sheffield

Rail should be publicly-owned – and water.

Richard Fraser-Tait, Ryde
