Neill Truett, St Leonard’s-on-SeaAnything would be better than the utter shambles that is Southern.
Michael Rowland-Hill, OrpingtonWe now have fewer, older and more expensive trains. Bring back BR.
Maureen Price, HartlepoolToo many services have been axed making it difficult to go on what should be simple journeys without several changes.
Sarah Robinson, LiverpoolPublic transport should be exactly that. accessible to the public with ease and affordable..
Brian Howes, BinghamPrivatisation has been a complete failure for the ordinary person in the UK, not only the railways, but anything else you care to name.
John Picken, LondonIt should never have been privatised. It’s another failed experiment in Tory ideology which has just ripped off UK citizens and further rewarded the already much too rich.
Mary Kitt, CaerphillyThey should never have been sold off.
Anthony Carroll, StocktonBring it back now.
Christine Barratt-Phelps, StalybridgeIt would be in the British peoples’ interest to have it back as British Rail. The Government should never have sold it off as it was one of the citizens’ properties.
Krystal Garnett, MerseysideBring back the simplified fare structure.
James Wilson, HucknallTo all politicians, forget the party line and do something for the people, Re- nationalise the railways.
Mike Morris, SwanseaI’m fed up with Arriva Trains’ poor and expensive service (if you can call it a service).
Michael Prada, KendalCurrent rail companies pull prices out of thin air. Neither the service provided nor the actual journey is worth what they charge. It’s over inflated and needs to stop.
Nick Troth, DoncasterThe rolling stock on Northern Rail is shocking. The fares even on East Coast main line are daylight robbery.
Jordan Murray, LondonRun for people, not for profit.
Marcello Gabrielli, DerbyshireThe railways have gone nothing but down hill since the privatisation of British Rail.
Lily Bea Mather-Dearden, WellingboroughIf the government cared about what the British public wanted, then the railways would be nationalised.
Jeffrey Keight, LiverpoolIt was more reliable, safer and more cost-efficient in public ownership.
Liam Mustapha, Bexhill-on-SeaA college student that will be affected by the 3.4% fare rise and does not have a proper income.
Isaac Reid-Guest, BirminghamNationalisation is what the rail system needs.
Jason Blean, GlasgowBring us into line with France, Germany, Italy, Canada, the US and others – reasonable rail fares – it’s a necessity.
Colin Raven, ManchesterEnough of the insanity.
Harvey Jackson Booth, HuddersfieldI work in the rail industry and I am sure what I have been told was that it was so much better under British Rail.
Alan Davison, MorpethState ownership works, while private ownership fails taxpayers and the public.
Ian Pearce, LondonRe-nationalise British Railways.
Alex Clifford, BristolThe fares are too expensive.
Kieranne Page, LondonEnough of these foreign companies making money when it should be the UK who runs the trains and has no over-pricing monopoly on the train fares. BBBR. Enough crap.
Graham Mallinson, ManchesterIt should never have left public ownership.
Thom BallaBritish Rail, so misunderstood, so unloved. They killed you
Martin Crimp, SouthportTime these sponging train operating companies were hung out to dry.
