Matthew Harris, NewportMore than just British rail should be brought back in to public ownership in my mind.
Mike Morris, SwanseaI’m fed up with Arriva Trains’ poor and expensive service (if you can call it a service).
Graeme Holland, DerbyEx-driver now overhead line electrification manager.
Olive Reah, BlackburnPlease keep railways British.
Roger Higgs, BudeThe provision of essentials like water, power and transport should obviously not be in private hands.
Rich Mottershaw, CheshireEventually the powers that be will see sense and they will bring back British Rail, an organisation we can all be proud of.
Karen Chambers, EdinburghNo public services like this should benefit shareholders rather than users.
Susannah Hervey, BillericayService needs to come before private profit.
Phil Round, St HelensWe need a model like the East Coast Mainline where money does not go to private shareholders.
Pippa Doran, Tunbridge WellsThe railways are in chaos as privatisation does not work.
Brendan McAlinden, WarringtonWe need to re-invest the £millions leaked to shareholders to keep service prices affordable.
William Smith, ManchesterI stand with Labour against rip-off Northern Rail.
Ashley Langford, WolverhamptonState amenities need state ownership by their very nature.
Andrew Walker, AshfordRail journeys were simple under British Rail. Since privatisation, rail services have become expensive, disjointed, un-reliable and over-crowded. Privatise. No profit.
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.
Martin Le Fevre, BelfordRail is a necessary service not a profit machine for capitalists.
Linda Harte, BourneIf the right (qualified but not greedy) staff at the top were to be appointed, we the British public could have a well run, efficient, and affordable train service.
June Diamanti, Tyne and WearI cannot believe other countries can deliver a good rail service and we cannot, but we readily tolerate appalling service as a matter of course in the UK.
Ian Adams, Castle CaryBetter service for public, not all about making money.
Chaz Coupland, BasingstokeAfter leaving school and joining British Rail it was supposed to be a career for life not just till 1998. What happened ?
Ann Knowles, AberystwythBritish Rail just before privatisation was one of the most efficient railway operators in Europe.
Connor Egan, ChathamScrap privatisation and bring back British Rail.
Jack Thompson, ReadingI’m sick of this.
April Virgoe, UlcebyWe need a coherent and fair transport system for this country which people can afford to use. Private interests have led to exorbitant fares and a fragmented service.
David McintoshThe current rail network is now 30% less efficient than publicly controlled European peers and three times more expensive.
Jane Rees, ColchesterI heartily agree that we should bring back British Rail to run the railways for the people and not for private profit.
Stuart Raine, WhitchurchWhen will the government see the light? The over-priced, under-resourced privatised rail network needs to be back with the people.
Angharad Green, SwanseaBring back British Rail.
Richard Frost, NottinghamIt’s costing the British taxpayer more in subsidies to the train companies than we paid for British Rail. The taxpayer’s money should not be paid out in profits to them.
Anne Booth, HuddersfieldIt should never have been privatised in the first place. The Conservative government stole it from the nation and we want it back.
