Andrew Thomas, BristolIt’s very important that the railways are publicly owned with surpluses re-invested in the infrastructure and keeping fares down.
Lynn Rimmer, BathThe worst privatisation. Bring it back into public ownership.
Chris Walker, DarlingtonGreat British Railways – the latest Tory privatisation scam!
Richard Love, StamfordDr Beeching screwed the railways up. So let’s do the right thing and bring back British Railways. Forget HS2.
Joe Loughrell, LondonEnough is enough, I don’t care about fancy stations with shops and restaurants. I just want to go to work and get home with the minimum fuss.
John Hyde, BasingstokeI nominate Richard Branson as the Headman.
Andrew Cartwright, ChesterWe need transport for the public, not transport for private profit.
Nigel Sleeman, LeedsThis campaign makes absolute sense for the whole of the UK.
Alastair Smith, BingleyAfter 19 years of being informed that “we are getting there”, I see no improvement on the legacy of the British Railways Board in 1994. In fact a deterioration is evident.
Carol Lindsay, KilconquharPrices up, service down. Now is the time to turn around.
Ian Latham, DoncasterAll the evidence shows utilities should not be run for profit.
Emma Quinn, LondonThe train lines are currently run like a monopoly so why not re-nationalise them for the nation rather than fat cat businessmen?
Rod Munday, AberystwythThere are so many reasons why this needs to happen.
Richie Brown, WarringtonI worked happily for 20 years for British Rail. Staff morale plummeted during privatisation and many good and knowledgeable people left, including myself.
Frances ProvanPerhaps they will concentrate on getting the people where they want to go, rather than simply getting the trains from A to B to chase service figures.
Stephen Field, WarwickPrivatisation was just a con and a rip-off of public funds. Let’s see an end to it.
Lynn Breeze, Hebden BridgeRe-nationalise the railways for less confusion.
John Jephcote, RetfordI am the same age as BR. The money given to run BR was little compared with subsidies to private companies now.
Charles Stonehouse, WolverhamptonGive it back to us.
Stephen Clarke, LeedsThere is no good reason to privatise an East Coast mainline service which is working so successfully for passengers and taxpayers alike.
Derek Richardson, South QueensferryI agree with Jeremy Corbyn. British Rail.
Sami Richards, LiverpoolI think that privatisation was a stupid idea, There is basically no competition on the railways and so the core argument for privatisation is invalid.
Jamie Ward, CreditonGiven the state of rail travel at the moment: late trains, high fares and little to no innovation, we should bring back British Rail.
David Thompson, LiverpoolRail is a natural monopoly and should be run as a true service for the people, never for profit.
Felicity Whyte, Shoreham by SeaGot to be less rubbish.
Andrew NorrieIn the 21st century progressive nations are turning to integrated, nation-wide railways for efficient, transportation. Why should Britain be the odd one out?
Matt Williams, WaterloovilleBring back British Rail.
William McGiven, DerbyA service paid for by us and we also get to vote for the government to manage our rail service.
Emma Hewitt, PontefractI would like the profits to go into improving one national rail network, not into the pockets of disparate individuals each owning a bit of a fractured system.
Kadam Hussain, LeedsEast Coast mainline is profitable. Apply this template to the other companies and re-nationalise. Nothing wrong with a profitable state-owned system.
