Ryan Wilson, LondonFully supported.
Tony Whitfield, PrestonRe-nationalise the railways.
Simon Mayhall, LeedsNationalisation of the railways has always been an essential part of society. I am pessimistic in the extreme in these days of everything being privatised.
Michael Craig, MagherafeltPeople before profit.
Paul Herwin, Canterbury£250 Ashford to Birmingham peak. Cheaper to go day before off-peak advance and get hotel. £100 in fact so extra money going to hotel not railway.
Craig Armstrong, WarringtonI pledge to add my weight to the fight to put our national rail service back into the hands of people not business.
Trevor Barham, LondonI’m old enough to remember when it was that way and better. We need a service to serve us.
Angela Paine, StroudWe should never have let Major privatise British Rail.
Martin Newins, ShrewsburyIt was the worst thing ever, selling off BR.
Josh Rose, ElyJoined-up rail, owned by the people, paid for by the people, used by the people. You know it makes sense.
Dave Huxham, LeedsThey should never have been privatised. The railway has been in decline ever since.
Leanne Bennett, SunderlandBritain once owned many fabulous things. Now we barely own the air we breath.
Alex Jowitt, LeedsThis is a rail service used by the public, not a political football.
Cameron Fleming, ManchesterFreedom of movement is useless with overpriced transport.
Ian Donnelly, PrestonNobody did it better than BR.
Debbie Goldsmith,I commute weekly to University and if I wasn’t lucky enough to have a sponsor how would I afford it? Transport is a necessity for all, not a luxury.
Michael Fuller, HorshamWhat does it take for the government to finally do something about this level of incompetence?
Rory Tulip, Newcastle-upon-TyneDo our children deserve to live in a country without an affordable, convenient and green infrastructure?
Robert Mair, ChinleyStop this ridiculous state that British railways are in and re-nationalise them.
Ashley Wells, LoughboroughI have to live with Southern Rail every day. They are terrible. I want a system that is primarily about serving passengers, not shareholders.
Cameron Ternent, LondonWe are the only country in Europe and nearly the whole world with a wasteful, expensive and frankly shite railway. It’s a national disgrace.
Marie Brooke, DoncasterInstead of paying out tons of money to big companies and paying lawyers to check contracts, put it all into one British Rail.
Damon Reid, ManchesterIt’s about time we faced facts and realised that there will never be proper investment in rail under private ownership.
Derek Carter, SunderlandPossibly the greatest example of a failed privatisation.
Bob Cotterill, SwanseaA vital asset to the country. All that public money put into it and no return for the public.
Alan Barnes, WokingThe closure of many local lines by Beeching was a disaster and the main cause of our crowded roads now.
David Deadman, BelvedereOne railway publicly owned.
Dean Cordwell, StockportI believe that such a compulsory national service should be run by the people and their representatives, not by businessmen for private profit.
James Robert Gillespie, GlasgowPrivatisation has been a disaster. British Rail needs to be completely in public hands.
Glenys Hutchinson, Milton KeynesService of vital interest to the nation should belong to the people.
