Krystal Garnett, MerseysideInvest in the rail network as part of our strategic national infrastructure.
Jago Tremain, NorwichPrivately owned railways will never operate a rational fares structure. Irrational structures make them more profit.
Simon Botten, DissAny train departing within 10 minutes of its scheduled departure time is officially ‘on time’. This shows the mess the system is in; services are totally unreliable.
Niall Campbell, BraintreeIt is disgraceful that an organisation that gets so much funding makes shareholders their priority rather than their customers.
David Gutteridge, ChesterfieldThe fare structure is ridiculously complex and the prices are a rip-off. Competition has achieved nothing for the ordinary traveller.
Tim Burton, BristolBBBR.
David Banks, PrestonRailways should be for the masses, not just for the super rich.
Paul Burgess, TorquayWords escape me.
Irene Lovell, RomfordRailways run as a public service, not as a money making operation . Profit should be ploughed back into operation to continually improve service.
Richard Royle, LancasterNo state subsidies for private operators to get rich at our expense.
Jeanette Harold, ConsettNational transport should belong to the nation.
Gill Smith, EastchurchYes, nationalise the railways. Bring them back for what they were intended – public transport owned and managed by the people for the people.
Patricia O’Donnell, HarrogateWe need a re-unified national railway which is run for the people. We need to get rid of privatisation.
Mike FriendSome say British Rail failed the nation but what really failed the nation was the government, who took the easy way out.
Richard Matthewman, FavershamIndustries for people and not for shareholders’ profit. I support the campaign for better management of the railways.
David Hornsby, ShipleyRe-nationalise the rail network and put the customer, not profits, first.
Geoffrey Barlow, WarringtonWe are subsidising foreign rail companies and the government are responsible. These companies would not do it for a loss.
Bob Harrold, StotfoldI’m not disgruntled, but the money that goes into profits for companies that carry little risk could be going into the rail network.
S Riley, St AlbansSick of useless Thameslink.
Paul Gibson, GalashielsSafety and service before rip-off prices.
David Latimer, MineheadBR was privatised for one reason only – to take infrastructure owned by the people and put it into the hands of the bankers and fat cats like Branson – total greed!
Sue Mills, LeedsIt is insanity not to have a British Rail system that is coherent, coordinated and not about profit. Efficient transport should be part of the infrastructure.
Keith Brighty, YorkIt’s easy to do by letting current franchises run out and not renewing them.
Murray Grigor, InverkeithingNo other country ever divided their nationally-owned railway into so many disparate pieces to create the most expensive system in the world.
Steph Withey, WorcesterRegular commuter
John Dadacz, Sutton-in-AshfieldYes unify the rail services; you know it makes sense.
Joanne Hughes, DerbyUnder privatisation standards have fallen whilst prices have risen. We should re-nationalise the railways.
Olaya De La Iglesia, NorwichPrivatisation has been shown not to work time and time again. We want a service free from the shackles of profit-making for the shareholders.
Darren Eden, LincolnIt ran like clock-work before and it could do again. All we have to do is look at what China has done. If they can do it, so can we.
Claire Callender, TotnesIt costs over £1000 to take my family from Devon to Edinburgh by train, and only £500 to fly.
