Ian Dargo, LondonReturn the national rail network to public ownership.
Robert Skillicorn, ChichesterPrivate companies are only interested in profit, not the customer or the employee. It’s time to give the service back to the people via the government.
Bryan Dale, CaerleonPublic transport should be supported by the state for the public good, not subsidised for private profit.
Paul Denyer, HorshamIf the fares were lower more people would travel by train. It’s got to be better than more roads.
Peter BatemanA fine campaign, but sadly facing an uphill struggle against politicians who cannot see what is obvious to everyone else.
Michael Brown, YorkAs a regular traveller I can only see benefit from having one seamless service.
Andrew Strong, Llandrindod WellsHow can a return ticket with one change be more expensive than the same journey broken up into four journeys?
Miranda Phillips, St AlbansOver-priced and complicated system of railways. We need a system which is about travelling and not all about how many pieces a system can be broken into as investments.
Mark Bailey, SheffieldI couldn’t agree more. Re-nationalise the railways now.
Louise Allison, FalkirkAbsolute shambles. I support anything that’ll make my commute safer.
Mohammed Asif, LutonNationalise now.
Dan Mercer, St. AlbansPrivatisation is supposed to increase competition. With each railway line there is only one company, so there’s no competition. What’s the point? Bring back British Rail.
Gavin Millar, CallanderRe-nationalisation is a sensible and honest approach to revitalising the main public transport network across the UK.
Mark Shaw, TwyfordThings have got worse since the government privatised BR. Now it’s more about profit than punctuality and safety.
Glyn Scott, CardiffYet another privatisation failure and rip-off.
Chris Jones, BanburyIt is so wrong that individuals should make a profit out of the railways. They are an essential part of our social infrastructure and should be funded by the state.
Ron Marsden, ManchesterI overheard people in a pub who didn’t know that BR had been privatised, but they knew that it was subsidised and were annoyed by this.
Colin Moncrieff, GlasgowTrains for the people, not for the profit of a few.
Simon Templar, LondonStop privatising and franchising everything. Transport should be for the people, not shareholders.
James Abbott, WithamA railway owned by the public and run for the public – that is what we want.
Neil Hunter, BrighousePrivatisation only works for shareholders and finances foreign railways.
Chris Brown, BrightonThe quality of train services compared to other leading economies is a disgrace.
Tim Hughes, YorkThe basic premise of privatisation is flawed.
Georgina Beardwell, LondonI’m sick of the price of train tickets. It’s cheaper to fly which is just ridiculous. I can’t afford to take my kids to the seaside for the day anymore..
Nick Scarr, AldeburghPrivatisation of national structure is theft of public assets.
Terry Wood, NorwichFar better under BR days.
Karen Nolan, StockportI’m sick of everything run for profit, what about service to the people of this country who pay for everything through their taxes but get nothing except cuts in return?
Mike Third, LondonThe necessities of life should never be tradable commodities.
Robert Harper, NottinghamPrivatisation hasn’t worked for the travelling public. Politicians, their friends, corporate bodies, the City etc. have profited from privatisation. It’s a public service.
Lawson Cartwright, WorcesterBritain has the highest train fares in Western Europe. National Rail receives billions each year in grants so it is in all intents and purposes state-run.
