Peter Calliess, WienA public service in public hands is common sense.
Dean Bell, Retfordit is time to take our core industries away from the thieves and fat cats and restore them to the public sector. People before profits. Off with their heads.
Ken Shillito, BarnsleyIf the government had pumped the same amount of money into British Rail that it has into the private sector then I’m sure we would have a much better rail system now.
Robin Mallinson, HatfieldTrains are necessary infrastructure for the good of the nation so should not be left in the hands of those who would bleed them dry to maximise profit.
Jack Ormrod, LlandudnoBrexit has brought our sovereign country back to its senses. The UK railways privatised some 20 odd years ago have not worked and only Virgin has worked for the elite.
Sabina Stefanova, LondonGo Ellie Harrison!
David Dow, AtherstonePrivatisation of our British services is a vile crime against the people of this country. Re-nationalise and run the railways as not-for-profit, to serve us all fairly.
R O’Connor, LincolnPrivatisation has failed. We now have a far more expensive, far less reliable service than we ever had under British Railways and British Rail, and people are fed up with it.
Graham Thomas, KidwellyThe sooner the better. Let’s put an end to what foreign investors call the UK – Treasure Island.
Neill Hendry, Henley-on-ThamesWe need to return to an integrated rail system that puts its customers and employees first.
Margaret Woodward, Newcastle-upon-TyneI travelled from Newcastle to Edinburgh in August, an annual trip to the Fringe. Virgin took over from East Coast trains. Fares doubled service appalling.
Rose Frain, EdinburghBrava Bravo.
Frank Lerner, LondonThe nation’s infrastructure must belong to the people.
Mark Brun, Stockton-on-TeesBring an end to privatised railway madness. The only people it benefits are shareholders not the rail passengers.
James Westfield, WokinghamI have had to grow up with the shambles of a railway system that remains today. It’s time to re-nationalise, to make fares cheaper and give Britain a railway to be proud of.
Jack Scott, SwanageBring back British Rail.
Robert Thornton, Brighton.Should never have been privatised in the first place. Railways are a national asset for the people.
Laurence Eccles, BirminghamThe highest walk-on fares in the world and at least twice the subsidy British Rail used to get. Network Rail’s debt has now exceeded an eye-watering £30 billion!
Alan Clare, BostonBring it back to the people.
Janet Bungay, BidefordCompare and contrast British and Spanish (state-owned) railways. British are way down.
Susan Bray, DoncasterAll my family worked for the railway but can’t afford to use it now.
James Connor, CumbernauldWhy have we given it all away to foreign companies?
Angela Lemay, WinkleighBring it back into public ownership because profit and service don’t mix.
Colette Merkelt, FlitwickKeep services for the people public.
Joshua Outen, Milton KeynesWe need to bring the railway back to the people who can make the track for the next generation… Bring back British Rail.
Nick Urquhart, AberdeenThe shocking performance of rail services shows it needs to be state-owned. I do not remember the last time a train left exactly on time.
Gemma Brown, BristolAs a daily commuter, most of the time I’m crushed on entrance. I wouldn’t mind if it was cheap, but it’s not. It’s fast becoming a rich boy’s means of travel..
Francesca Bray, EdinburghAll public transport should be publicly owned. our railways should be a national resource.
Ben Eckersley, SheffieldPeople before profit.
Paul Llewellin, BristolStop privatising public services.
