Andrew Green, SwanseaBring back British Rail. All is forgiven.
Rose Whitehorn, BristolCreate a railway for people not profit!
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.
Jacob Tyne, Newton AbbotA public owned railway will help to provide good rail services rather than private profits which is something that needs to change.
Patrick Clarke, LondonThe current system is an expensive and incohesive shambles.
David Haxell, BrightonTime to end the profit-based railway and take it back.
Kevin Munden, Newark-on-TrentIt’s time to get a proper train service back, instead of greedy investors taking the profits without putting any of the investment back into the network.
Sharon Borthwick, LondonOur rail, our gas, our electricity, our commons, our streets in the hands of profiteers. I hope they shall soon perish.
Jocelyn Bailey, OrpingtonSoutheastern – French national railway. They inherently don’t care about UK. Our services have been cut each year, and the wrong stations get fast trains.
Gemma Brown, BristolAs a daily commuter, most of the time I’m crushed on entrance. I wouldn’t mind if it was cheap, but it’s not. It’s fast becoming a rich boy’s means of travel..
Susan Gulliver, KeighleyLet’s put the British back and make the railways a state-owned company. Everyone then should be able to afford to use them.
David Chaney, Newcastle-upon-TyneA disastrous privatisation that should be overturned a.s.a.p.
Kate Betney, EdinburghI am outraged that East Coast Trains been handed over to Virgin/Stagecoach.
William Kerr, EllonBring back common sense rail travel.
Matt Dunn, MontgomeryPrivatisation failed miserably. British Rail for British people, not cash-hungry directors of private companies.
Paul Buckley, RickmansworthLets give the railways back to those who use them, and re-invest profits in the infrastructure.
Peter Duncan, StockbridgeDefinitely a campaign to support because the current situation with regard to the railway network is completely ludicrous.
Pauline Allies, MaidenheadThe transport infrastructure should be owned by all of us so we can develop a coherent transport policy for the future.
Peter Davis, LeicesterSome rail operators are operating trains that are so over-full they must be breaking H and S regulations. There should be refunds for passengers without seats.
Colin Mackenzie, ShrewsburyIt’s time for more accessible, affordable, accountable rail system that is owned by the public and is all inclusive.
Anthony Protheroe, BourneI want to see all the railways back nationalised.
Marshall Dean, KeithScotRail and their subsequent operators are a joke. They use every opportunity to blame Network Rail for failures.
Annette Mansell-Green, BirminghamPrivatisation has been a completely failed capitalist experiment. We demand our railways be returned to us now.
Paula Forbes, StockportLast year it cost £2.50 return into Manchester at the weekend, now it’s £3.60. If I travel from a stop further back (e.g. a longer journey) it’s cheaper at £3.20.
Michele Hickson, St Leonard’s-on-SeaIt is ridiculous to expect public transport to operate for profit. All other countries recognise the need for public subsidy of transport.
Bill Tasker, LiverpoolDismantling British Rail has led to chaos.
Joel Metcalf, EpsomNo more bad services and high prices.
David Little, Swavesey, CambridgeThe Covid-19 crisis forced some degree of governmental control but still leaves the broken franchising system intact. Full re-nationalisation is long overdue.
Nicky Gillibrand, ChorleyCurrent rail prices are overpriced and the service is beyond terrible.
James Fibbens, LondonIt’s unlikely to happen, but good luck anyway.
