Chiara Knott, NottinghamJourneys are too expensive. And why do I have to pay to use the toilet? This is a violation of my human rights I’m certain.
Maryvonne Lumley, LondonPrivatisation only works for shareholders, not passengers. Bring back BR.
Marie Pettigrew, NottinghamHand it back to the people and let us enjoy the profits instead of the greedy fat cats.
Scott Herrett, EdinburghI want to travel by train as it’s more relaxing and safer. I can work and it produces low emissions, but the high price of tickets prevents me from doing the right thing.
Dean Meehan, LeedsWe the people can effect real change and we demand the railway we deserve as our right.
Greg Sutton, FleetTime for a change.
Chris Frost, LondonBring back the rail industry into public ownership.
Gordon Roberts, Stratford-upon-AvonI worked through the Railtrack years. Enough said I think. Bring back BR.
Mark Bobbitt, WymondhamIt’s for people not for private profit.
Diana Rossborough, LondonI’m actually quite alarmed for my personal safety on overcrowded platforms filled with angry would-be passengers. I also fear disease from filthy carriages.
David PageBritish transport for the people instead of being motivated by profit.
Anna-Katharina Straumann, ZurichSince my birth in 1977, I have been in and out of the UK several times a year. Train journeys are far too expensive and the entire system over complicated.
Richard Fraser-Tait, RydeRail should be publicly-owned – and water.
Dave Griffiths, ManchesterReplace Europe’s worst railway systems, and bring back BR. End private profit at the expense of commuters, and cancel HS2. Give us a low-price, clean, green service.
Michael Cotton, Bologna, ItalyAn excellent idea.
Huw Akiba-Jones, ExmouthRe-nationalise now.
Hector, CheshirePrivatisation has created a railway that in every conceivable way is truly an abomination.
Steven Fraser, DunbartonshireBring back British Rail!
Emma Louis, BirminghamI come from a family of railway workers. I believe in rail travel. I use the train to commute to work but privatisation has not worked and doesn’t put travellers first.
Rebecca Steventon,Just one word. Argh.
Bill Stead, Leamington SpaI believe that a nationalised rail network would provide a far better service and financial return. Forget how it used to be and do it better.
Julie Elphick, WitneyOne ticket, one destination, one rail company. Simplicity. Bring back British Rail.
Mary Theodorou, ManchesterI used to complain about BR, but now want them back.
Nancy Smith, IpswichWhen it’s more often than not cheaper to fly or get a coach from south to north England you know there’s a problem with the railway system.
Jonathan Ash, St AlbansRe-nationalisation is the right step for all possible reasons.
Pete Sinclair, GreenwichPublic transport should not be run for profit. Meet passengers’ needs, not shareholders’ greed.
Faith Matheson, EssexGreater Anglia are a joke.
Bill Tasker, LiverpoolDismantling British Rail has led to chaos.
Bill Lawrence, MexboroughIt is economic and social madness to continue with a privatised railway system in a modern society.
Gottfried Brunner, ViennaThe privatisation of BR is an example for these of the Austrian Federal Railways (OBB), which brings a lot of problems.
