Gwen Daly, ReadingBritish Rail should never have been split and sold.
Stuart Bishop, ManchesterTransport is a key piece of national infrastructure. It has no business being run for profit in the private sector.
Billy Morrison, Ashby-de-la-ZouchThey said it wouldn’t be sold yet here we are. Rail is a mess at the moment and it needs sorting.
Nicholas Burman-Vince, LondonAn efficient and affordable train service is vital for the economic well-being of the country.
Shazia Nawaz, BirminghamSo annoyed with Avanti delays and service in First Class. Whatever Virgin thoughts anyone has they were amazingly timely and service was exceptional.
Peter Schofield, BarnsleyIt is time to bring back the railways and put profit back into the economy instead if it going into fat cat pockets.
Malcolm ClaytonWe must get people to join together for this extremely worthy cause.
Frances Rostron, SherborneRail is a public service, and should be run as such, not to make private profit.
Chris Hambly, KingsteigntonRe-nationalising will only benefit the railways.
Daniel Rodger, BirminghamPrivatisation has gone too far. Distributism advocates that small companies be private, but large companies to be run by employees.
Kathleen Hamilton, North BerwickNationalise British Rail.
William Power, RoystonIt has got to the stage when it is cheaper to fly than catch a train Jaw dropping prices and having to search loads of internet sites just to find a reasonable fare.
Ilija Jovanovic, DerbyWhat’s happened to the rail, as with everything, is a disgrace. Money before people. Bring back British Rail.
Bobby Webb, ManchesterDo it for the good of the people, not for private profit.
Dan Brown, DurhamPlease end the privatisation that destroyed Britain.
Steven Bartlett, DissWe need to reclaim all that is rightfully ours.
Barry Marshall, HebburnThere was absolutely no logic to privatising and fragmenting the railways other than to line the pockets of a privileged few.
Jonathan Chalcraft, BrightonLet’s get people out of their cars and back onto cheap public transport.
Steph Withey, WorcesterRegular commuter
Janet Marshall, BarryAnything which helps to bring back the old system I shall be glad to be part of.
Alex Burt, LondonDisgusting.
Sally Finesilver, OxfordPrivatisation is a disaster. A simple and fair fare-structure and user-friendly service (remember that word?) would make travel better for everyone, including tourists.
Toby Morrison, LondonI feel that there is too much focus on profits and not customer service. Higher fares don’t seem to mean a better service. Bring back national rail.
Clare Jennings, NottinghamEMR have been so unreliable that a two hour journey now very often becomes five hours. They monopolise the service that is run for profit not passengers. We need better.
Louis Boyce, Kingston-upon-ThamesOnce upon a time we, the common people of the UK, did own BR. Then we gave it away to the rich kids to play with.
Bruce Baillie, CleckheatonWe need a decent transport system and we haven’t got one.
Catherine Wilson, CampbeltownHopefully we will have a nationalised railway company in an independent Scotland.
Simon Jones, BromleyWe need a joined-up train service run in the public interest, owned by the public.
Robert Rush, OkehamptonThe state of our railway system in the South West is the fault of successive governments. Please help fix it by campaigning to bring it back to public ownership.
Jamie Evetts, Milton KeynesTo re-nationalise the Railway under British Rail and build and design British locomotives and British rolling stock and British Multi units again.
