Neil BayramBring back British Rail.
Colin FlowerdayBritish Rail still exists so let’s have this wonderful company back and get rid of these rubbish private train companies.
Jake Bolton, BlackburnI think that privatisation has been promoted purely for political expediency and short-term gain. The politicians who allow this aren’t living with the consequences.
M Shone, PenzanceBring back British Rail.
Jean Berry, NottinghamIt’s much better to have the government running the rail system for the good of the country and not shareholders.
Roger Calvert, NorthallertonI notice how much profit East Coast Lines has made which has not made the slightest impact on Government thinking because privatisation is purely ideological.
Mary Stewart, StevenagePrivate greed, public misery.
Lauren Heywoor, CoventryThrough nationalisation we can ensure that money is invested back into our transport infrastructure, and that ticket price and service provided are suitable for all.
Rafael Sorribas, BristolSo tired of having to use cramped, dirty, infrequent, slow, and expensive services. When it is cheaper and quicker to fly Bristol-to Leeds, something is fundamentally wrong.
Brian Turnbull, HawickIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Marylyn Edwards, TonbridgeThe railways and all public transport should be for the people, not for profits.
Lynne Finn, LondonBritish Rail should never have been privatised in the first place. Let’s get it back and then set to getting the Royal Mail back too.
Scott Rundle, OxfordBring back a national rail system. Privatisation hasn’t worked.
Catherine Russell, BattleThe franchise model is totally unsuitable for a modern rail network. It is less efficient and we are being priced out of travel and sometimes our jobs.
Martin Rowlands, WidnesI just hope that the politicians accept that the current system would improve if it was just one company with proper accountability. Gas, electricity and water are the same.
Jane Banks, Newcastle-upon-TyneA truly important campaign which should also connect to the growing campaign against HS2 which will not benefit the North in any discernibly important ways.
Naomi Salmon, BorthA re-unified BR is the only way to genuinely promote affordable, co-ordinated rail services for the people.
Nicholas Darsley, LondonThe rail system should be for the benefit of travellers, not for private profit.
Edwin Beecroft, LyndhurstI’m fed up with private companies trying to run this country like a private company.
Marianne Bennett, MilnthorpeThe nuclear industry is in public ownership and we pay over and over. The railway system should be in public ownership.
Ena Stansfield, NottinghamI wish a Government would nationalise the railways again. I remember before it was privatised. It wasn’t perfect but it was so much better than now.
Sandra Redden, NorthamptonWe need trains so that people can get out and about and get to work.
Jo Vallance, NottinghamGood luck with this campaign.
Terence Cook, BarnsleyWhy are we selling our services to other groups to make money out of us? Let’s invest in our own country.
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.
William Smith, Newcastle-under-LymeEven that bitch Margaret Thatcher thought it was a step too far.
Steven Sayer, NorwichBring back British Rail, so the profits go back into the system, and not into somebody’s pocket. We had a great service from Norwich to London Liverpool St. before.
Alan Street, SeaviewBring back British Railways.
David McCormack, HinckleyPrivatisation brings too many fat cast and fewer jobs.
Peter Corrie, LisburnOther countries held on to their systems – Deutsche Bahn, SNCF etc. Our system did not have to be split.
