Nicky Hamilton-Smith, EdinburghPublic transport should not be run for private profit.
Ray Hand, AbingdonThe rail system should be a service, not a money-making opportunity for investors.
Nicholas Bigsby, LondonBring back BR.
Jackie Stevens, CoventryIt just makes sense.
Alberto Torres, LondonRailways are a natural monopoly and should be subsidised by the state. No more profit before people. Nationalise the railways.
Paul Sheeky, CreweIt’s a national service, so it’s obviously going to be more efficient to run it nationally.
David NicholasEnd the travesty of rail franchising and the burden on this country of false promises and devious commercial practice.
Doug Ellershaw, LancasterBring back sanity.
David Rae, LoughboroughOur railways should be British owned, not German (DB Schenker), French, Dutch, Canadian or American.
Kim Boon, BarnsleyBreaking up railways breaks up communications, so we’re isolated in the north. HS2 won’t make things any better for Barnsley either.
Malcolm Tedd, OadbyI’ve been waiting for the opportunity to help re-nationalise British Railways for a while now.
Mark Boulton, LondonI’d love to see the back of all these brands and businesses.
Michael Rawson, Stockton-on-TeesUnify the whole system and bring back the “Fat Controller” and put a halt to short-term political gain and profiteering.
John Morrow, SunderlandI’m sick of getting ripped off.
Terry Melbourne, LiverpoolI am passionate about re-nationalising British Rail.
Elizabeth Matter, NottinghamTrains have been private most of my life – it’s time for a change.
Adam Dunning, ChesterfieldI agree. The rail network should exist to serve the people who use it, not the shareholders.
Alun Jones, New FerryI’m a retired train driver with 33 years service. The fragmentation of BR is not working
Stephen Bellamy, HarrogateThe railways should be re-nationalised as they can be run far more efficiently with more profits to the state and less subsidies costing the taxpayer.
David Waterhouse, StockportThe railways should never have been privatised and should be taken back into public ownership.
Joseph Fox, ExeterRenationalising rail would be cheaper for the government and commuters… Bring back British Rail.
Nick Prince, StaffordshireI love traveling by train but now, even with my rail card, it is becoming too expensive to use the West Coast and yet the fares still keep rising.
John Bramhall, NewburyThe current situation is ridiculous. Prices go up and the service doesn’t improve.
Jocelyn Bailey, OrpingtonSoutheastern – French national railway. They inherently don’t care about UK. Our services have been cut each year, and the wrong stations get fast trains.
Russ Hepworth-Harvey, NelsonIt’s long overdue. How can there be any sense in selling off East Coast (when it was making UK PLC money) to Richard Branson whose West Coast line rips people off!?
Darrell Brady, WellingboroughAnd give Liverpool a high speed link.
Eric Lackford, LargsThe British travelling public have been sold down the river by treacherous governments. Nationalise now.
Emma Cordiner, OlneyGive us our trains back.
Natalie Morton, LeedsIt really should be a national service that is not for private profit.
David Green, LondonNot only should we re-nationalise the railway network, but we must also bring back into the public sector the whole transport industry.
