Clifford Tynan, WantageRip-off Britain must be stopped.
Hugh Butcher, TadcasterI travel the rails a lot. East Coast mainline is by far the best in terms of service, ticket price, and customer care. It is owned by us and makes a surplus for us.
Mick Ford, MaltbyRailways should be owned by the people of this country, not some other one.
David Timpson, Ashton-under-LynePublic services should not be a cash cow trough for corporate investors whose only interest is profit.
Stephen Masters, GosportThe fragmented rail network is nonsense. Public transportation should be run for the benefit of all, not just the benefit of a few shareholders.
Andrew Dugdale, ReadingRail fares are beyond reason for the worst quality trains, and most overcrowded service in Europe. It needs fixing – fast. We’re no longer getting there.
Dr Elizabeth Moberly, DurhamRail travel is currently far too expensive for many people. Best of luck with your campaign.
Colin Partington, WirralThe rail system is fine if you’re just going from A to B. If you’re going to C and need to change at D, and the second leg is with a different company – good luck with that!
Robin Campbell, HitchinEast Coast proves it works in government ownership. It should never have been privatised.
David Owen, Peterborough27 years on the railway from the original British Rail to Vtec. How can you privatise East Coast who made millions for the government? Reverse the decision.
John Patrick Connolly, Saltburn by the SeaThe best rail service in the UK is the East Coast line, and that’s state-run.
Catherine Markey, CambridgeRail travel should be state-owned so fares remain low, thus car use is reduced and the government is accountable for safety. Profit shouldn’t come into it.
Edward Moss, ManchesterAll privatisation does is create multimillionaires at taxpayers’ expense. Halting direct services because they encroach on other franchise areas is a disgrace.
Jordan Cuff, CorshamBring it back.
Chris Williams, BromleyPublic service needs to be resumed, not setting targets as a priority with trains running fast to their final destinations and passengers made to wait for the next service.
Eddie McGuire, GlasgowMy cousin was a train driver so I’ll always support ASLEF and RMT in their campaigns. Rail keeps Britain united.
Pier Hausemer, SalisburyIt can be done, if only there is a political will. Do it for the people of Great Britain.
Douglas Mitchell, BedfordTake back the community’s railways.
Ian Cook, ManchesterLet’s go forwards not backwards. It worked for us when BR was running from the 50s to the late 80s.
Nigel Thompson, NorthamptonTake it back. The whole privatisation was a mess and named theft.
M J Bailey, CarmarthenI’m definitely in favour of re-nationalising the railway system (what we have left of it in Wales.)
Michael Davies, GlasgowFor the many not the few.
Chris Nicoll, Berwick-upon-TweedEverything in the ‘We are the collective’ statement rings true.
Ray Kempson, FleetwoodSwitzerland has the finest all-round transport system in the world. Trams, buses and rail, all publicly owned.
Hazel Mayamba-Kasongo, ChesterI love Virgin who have the west coast franchise. Their service is excellent – trains comfortable and staff outstanding. However, the rest is a mess.
George Davies, DarwenPublic services should be run and owned by the public, not private financial institutions who care only about profit and not service. It’s a no brainer.
Robert Coleman, LiverpoolLet’s do it now.
John Darrell, YorkA non-profit railway system that is affordable for everyone and which serves the people not just the rich.
Martin Pugsley, FelthamAlthough imperfect, British Rail was better than we have now.
Bob McNair, KilbarchanBritish Rail needed a shake up, not privatisation – ex Railway Signalling Instructor.
