Rebecca Wilson, MarlboroughBring back nationalised British Rail and give us back our railways.
T Matthews, ExeterNationalisation now. The people to own the railways.
Colin Jones, NottinghamTransport and infrastructure are fundamentals in any society. To leave them to market forces and the private sector is just irresponsible.
Matt Kingsnorth, ChelmsfordI 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?
Jeffery Thomas, TenbyJoined-up services, ticketing, timetable and proper responsibilities are needed again.
Joanne Hughes, DerbyUnder privatisation standards have fallen whilst prices have risen. We should re-nationalise the railways.
Andy Welling, BristolHow long will it take the government to stop these vultures giving the public an awful service?
Hector, CheshirePrivatisation was overseen by heartless, charmless, gutless, shameless individuals with boundless arrogance and monumentally misguided belief.
Zeljka Abramovic, LondonHow can this ever be efficient and safe?
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.
Tony Pattison, LeedsToo complicated, too many separate tickets. Keep it simple.
Philip Cumberland, WhittleseyPrivatising the railways was a victory of political dogma over common sense. It’s about time we had common sense back on the agenda so it’s time to re-nationalise.
Phil Smart, LeicesterI love the trains, I really do. But they’re too expensive and smaller towns are poorly served. Bring back British Rail and give us a train system to be proud of!.
Steve Emsley, HuddersfieldShocking company, greedy CEO.
Paul Rowan, LondonWe are paying more in subsidies to the private companies than we were under the old British Rail. This makes no sense as privatisation was supposed to stop subsidies.
Naomi Siderfin, LondonBring back British Rail, to ease the pain of buying a rail ticket online from faceless, obscure and non-accountable vendors. Railways for people.
Mavis Childs, SwindonWe need to take British Rail back now. Privatisation has not worked and is costing the taxpayer and users far more.
Freddie Gould, LondonKeep the fare prices down and the public services in public control.
Linda Davison, DissBritish Rail had better timetables. The prices were cheaper which allowed more people to use trains in off peak times. The service was brilliant..
Andrew Drasar, StainesRe-nationalise the railways ASAP. They should never have been privatised.
Colin Robinson, GatesheadPrivate enterprise is failing and is too expensive. Any surplus should go to the Treasury not to shareholders.
Paul Mowat, LondonPrivatisation has not worked and re-nationalisation is the only sensible option.
Antonella Massari, BristolI am 60 and I used British Rail daily, in my youth. I want BR back, in public ownership.
Paul Ellerington, BedfordAt present the railways in our country are a shambles that only the richer in our society can afford to use. One almost requires a computer brain to calculate the fares.
David Peacock, YorkLet’s face it, privatisation was never about being better for passengers. It was about those in the private sector cashing in. It’s been a catastrophic failure.
Kester Park, YorkThe rail network’s commitment to above inflation price rises proves privatisation has failed the people of Britain. It needs to end now.
Michael Miller, SheffieldPrivatisation doesn’t work. It leads to fragmentation, loss of transparency, often worse conditions for employees, and usually ends up costing more. And they dodge tax.
Jason Egerton, GlossopEither completely cut the government out of it or re-nationalise it. No half way measures.
Paul AhdalCramming passengers into undersized carriages and providing an awful service whilst making millions for shareholders is unacceptable.
Lesley Few, DurhamMajor should never have done this. A lot of the companies are just out to make big salaries for themselves and aren’t bothered about giving a good service to the country.
