Paul Pennington Marshall, BrightonI’m sick of poor service and profits going to shareholders not back into the service.
William Weller, WiganPrivatisation is a pathetic failure for ordinary people. It has just made the rich even richer.
Philip Michaelson, LondonI belong to a walking group of retired people whose organiser suffers because of the disorganisation of the various companies running rail transport in the South-East
Tom Gallacher, PlymouthBring back BR. The railway is so under-funded in the Southwest and Cameron and his goons don’t care.
Christine Hartas, Newcastle-upon-TyneI’m a frequent user of the line to London. It’s excellent. No need to change. Also, it’s safer to have the national infrastructure owned by the nation, not by global capital.
Joe Cairns – Doran, BrightonNationalise more of the country. We all live here, not just the rich.
Marianne Hitchen, SheffieldPrivatised railways make no sense. Look at the fantastic French system. You can’t plan proper infrastructure improvements without looking at the overall picture.
Malcolm Lyons, BrightonPublic investment for rail users not shareholders, please.
Adrian Porter, KendalThe shambolic Northern ‘service’ currently destroying the Windermere branch line is yet another reason why we need to BBBR.
Michael McDonald, LivingstonWe need all train companies and Network Rail nationalised.
Frances Jones, PerthshirePrivate companies take profit and run down quality. Nothing has ever been as good as British Rail.
Nicholas Davies, St. Leonards-on-SeaI’m fed up with constantly rising fares, packed trains and last minute delays/cancellations even when there is no strike on.
Michael Fisher, SolihullI Agree.
Neil Pritchard, St. HelensNorthern Rail are the pits. For goodness’ sake, give our railways back to the people of Britain.
Valerie McIntosh, WarringtonWe need a railway system that works for the users not the shareholders.
Rhiannon Hayman, HolywellI hate the way the trains run in this country. It’s cheaper to get a flight to the other side of the country than a train. What is that all about?
Paul L Ellis, SheffieldPrivatising British Rail was one of the worst decisions made by any government resulting in the disjointed and overpriced structure we have today. Time to change back.
Khalid Talati, ManchesterIf prices keep going up, eventually people won’t be able to afford to get to work. Nationalise the railways now.
Geoff Mills, WakefieldBring back British Rail. We are demanding a re-unified national rail network, run for people not profit, as it was meant to be in the first place.
Nick Durkee, HavantSimplify the railways now.
James Craig-Gray, LondonPrivate companies succeed by putting profits first. That’s what capitalism is all about. Nationalised companies can put the public benefit first.
Bryon Bache, CambridgeA brilliant idea – all strength to your arm. Our railways are a disaster.
Margaret Reynolds, DurhamWe do want our railways back in public ownership.
Tom Spowart, Newton AycliffeThe railway privatisation was rushed through, our railways were sold at cut price without our agreement. If only British Rail had received the money private operators get.
Nigel Smith, YorkAll public utilities should be nationalised and most ordinary citizens would agree.
Gavin Edwards, Colchester£5k a year and you can’t even get a seat on the 7am train to London from Colchester
Paula Marley, SheffieldI love trains and rail travel but cannot afford to use them under the current capitalist system.
Anne Seifipour, GatesheadLet the people sort out this mess that privatisation has made of our railways. Give it back to us.
Rob F, DerbyPrivatisation of the railways has been an abject failure. Re-nationalise.
John Hogg, BradfordSooner rather than later.
