Lisa Brooks, MaidstoneAn efficient and reasonably priced rail network is fundamental to getting cars off the road. This should be an important resource for the people not to be run for private profit.
Kyle M, AberdeenThe East Coast mainline focused on the passengers, and returning both profit and other benefits to society. It’s a prime example of how nationalised railways do work.
Stevan Hezseltine, CarshaltonPrivatisation is a scandal as it steals from us what is ours and gives to a few greedy rich for their profit at our expense. It takes money from our pockets to give to them.
Judith Middleton, LeedsI am sick and tired of train fares rising at way above inflation, the poor standard of rolling stock and the delays that happen every day.
Angela Breen, ReigateSouthern Rail are an utter disgrace. Bring back a rail service that actually serves the public rather than lines private pockets.
Liam Brown, LiverpoolAvanti is a mess, Virgin was a much better service in general.
Louis Graves, StockportStupid and unfair prices. Bring Back British Rail.
Maureen Hunter, Cleator MoorLet’s share the efficiencies and the profits – not just the abyss of subsidies. Fair shares for all.
Caroline Aboa, LutonOne service overall makes sense.
Janina Leitch, KeighleyA comprehensive rail service was arguably the greatest British achievement, exported all over the world. Invaluable part of our infrastructure.
Roger Greeff, SheffieldEast Coast is a good example.
Andrew Dowden, ManchesterWe need a united railway again to cut costs and continue the level of investment required.
Luca Bickers, BrightonI believe that companies like Southern should not be allowed to steal our money.
John Homer, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe privatisation of British Rail was supposed to benefit the customer. What a laugh. In fact, the new owners are laughing all their way to the bank. Re-nationalise.
John Cooper, SheffieldYes, re-nationalise the railways.
Andrea Stow, CleckheatonIt’s a better service when profit goes back into the service not shareholders’ pockets.
Martin DawsonBest wishes in your campaign. I saw a sticker on a sign next to a railway track while train spotting with a friend.
Jacqueline Rattray, LondonPrivatisation has been shown to not work. Taxpayers are paying three times what they would if the railways were nationalised. Performance is down and fares are up.
Charlie McIlwain, Roundhay, LeedsPassengers shouldn’t have to pay more than ever for a system that’s getting *worse* than ever – that just doesn’t make any sense. Private railways aren’t working.
Sandra Salmons, WestburyI cannot see that privatisation has had any benefits for the travelling public, only to the heads of the companies who now draw off the profits.
Derek Shaw, YorkI am strongly against this sell-off.
Clare Honey, NorwichWe need affordable fares and clean trains.
John Porter, FranceWe used to live in Staffordshire and hope to return to UK next year. We’re appalled at what Tory doctrinaire policies have done to UK railways.
Duncan Baillie, KilmarnockI have never felt that a national railway network should be in the hands of separate companies. The service varies so much between them and there is little co-ordination.
Gary Mason, StakefordRe-nationalise.
Julian Wilson, TonbridgeI know a few of us re-nationalisers round here. Could we hold a meeting or action?
Chris Gill, LondonI’m not a customer, I’m a passenger.
Alexander Culley, LondonEnd the railway rip-off, joke fare increases and disgracefully inept service of the franchises. We want a service like DB in Germany.
Dawne Brown, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation doesn’t work for anyone but shareholders.
