Lisa Bowles, BristolThe current service provided by private companies such as First Great Western are absolutely awful and the prices are ridiculous. Bring back British Rail.
Susan McDermott, EdinburghYou have my full support. Good luck with the campaign.
Suzy Cheal, BrightonTrains are ridiculously overpriced for the service that is provided. Lower prices would mean fewer people using cars and be better for the environment.
Chris Frost, LondonBring back the rail industry into public ownership.
Patrick Stack, Basel, SwitzerlandI used to live in Bournemouth and the then British Rail offered a good and polite service with reasonably priced fares. Where has it gone?
Drew Gallon, East SussexRail services have declined in reliability over the last 15 years that I have been travelling from Brighton to London, while prices have steadily increased. Stop the rot.
Tim Mapston, LondonThey should never have been sold off in the first place.
Richard Wells, HullStop ripping off passengers.
Richard Desjardins, Ashby de la ZouchWe know it makes sense.
Brian Flynn, LeedsIt is vital for the future of our society that we begin to take back into public ownership those things the state ought rightly to manage.
Frank Nicholas AdamIf Passenger Focus has orders from Westminster that they are not allowed to comment upon railway privatisation, where is our voice?
Joshua Lunn, SwindonLower fares, better paid staff, more branch lines, accountability.
Larry Tetteh, LondonBring back British Rail.
James Martin, GlasgowRe-nationalise the railways.
Chris Wright, LondonI hope for a pay rise at the end of the year, just so I can afford to pay the fare rises. Real people get poorer every year, so bosses can get richer.
Thomas Freegard, SwindonPublic ownership is the only way to ensure investment in the future, lower fares, more staff and a railway that works for everyone.
Judith Hodgson, LiverpoolKeep it simple. One railway operator and save all the billing charges and lawyers’ costs.
Roslynn Turner, Londonthis was funded for the people by the people it should never have been a profit making private concern, which most people cannot afford.
Anthony Bacon, Bradleystoke, BristolI was always taught if it wasn’t broke don’t fix it. Think how many people would use the railways if it was state-owned with the prices low.
Giselle Frank, LondonThere should be a national standard and national investment for today’s transportation needs. There should be re-investment instead of private profits.
Warren Sherwin, BoltonThe highest prices and worst service in Western Europe. It’s time for a change now.
Arran Stratton, GlasgowIt can be the only solution not to see the profits line the pockets of huge corporations. It’s embarrassing at the moment.
Martyn Lynch, HarrogateNot just rail – all utilities too.
Tony Ches, BirminghamWe need BR back. Things were so much better. Network Rail are rubbish.
Paul Reddy, WirralRe-nationalisation of railways is easier than other privatised industries because at expiration existing franchises can be transferred to Directly Operated Railways.
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.
Chrissie Chadney, St AlbansOur country deserves a national rail service, subsidised as necessary from the taxes I pay – a good use of my money.
George Kay, WiganIt’s been too long now. Come on. Bring British Rail back.
Timothy BaldwinI agree we need a fully integrated, publicly-owned rail network.
Daphne Hayden, Whitley BayAll the rail network should be nationalised.
