Tyrone Bowen, SloughThe rail system in its current form is a joke.
Sue Richmond, SheffieldI just love our trains, so save them.
Christine Cudworth, WakefieldYou are doing a fantastic job.
Nicola Graham, BrightonTrains have always been my preferred means of travel but since privatisation have become too expensive.
Kieron Phillips, HartlepoolBritish Rail would benefit the whole country. As the BBC and the NHS are publicly owned, so should the rail service along with lots of other state services!
Derek Lowe, KnaresboroughEast Coast line is encouraging if it could be reproduced throughout the network.
Emily Simpson, CarlisleToo much money is given away to other countries through private companies, it needs to stop.
Louis Thorne, CambridgeIt makes no sense to try to introduce competition into what is a natural monopoly that should be run as a public good.
Jane Thurlow, WatfordI’m 63, so from personal experience I can say it was better and safer when it was British Rail.
Michael Brackenbury, ElyMajor’s railway rip-off was made in a hurry to provide his backers with juicy public assets before the Tories went into their Long Good Night. It’s time to take them back.
Rob Jozefowski, ManchesterI’d love to join the cause. Nationalise now.
Glyn Howard, CroydonThe rail network should be owned by us.
Simon Lumley, HungerfordGoing on public transport is like a visit to the third world.
Alyson Rennie, NottinghamI moved to Nottingham in 1996 and soon got a job with a company that dealt with British Rail. Soon after that year we had then to deal with all the private companies.
Richard Carpenter, AbergavennyQualified support only as I don’t want the trade unions running the service.
Paul Macgee, LondonI wholeheartedly support this campaign.
James Dinsdale, MiddlesbroughPrivatisation does not work. The gas and electricity proves that we are all being ripped off.
John Wood, LightwaterPrivatisation did not lead to lower fares and better service as we were promised.
Ethan Humble, WhitbyBring Back BR.
Sebastian Lexer, GlasgowNational transport has to be in national hands.
Jim Allen, BrightonFirst Capital Connect London to Brighton service is dreadful. Old trains, noisy, rattley, uncomfortable, freezing cold or baking hot. It’s a complete rip off.
Bradley Clark, LondonThe sheer confusion of using our transport system makes me ashamed in other countries. The cost of train travel way surpasses travel by car.
Lee Edmonds, KentBritish Rail brilliance!
Campbell Sangster, LondonLudicrous that train fares are so high it stops people travelling freely and spontaneously. It’s bad for tourism.
Joe Hale, SwanseaBring back British Rail and railroad the crooks out of town.
C Haines, LondonThe lines destroyed by Beeching must be reinstated, and the entire system ring-fenced from all banking influence and run as a not-for-profit public service.
Mary Campbell, LetchworthWhy does anyone support profits for individuals rather than the good of all?
Carl Nolan, LiverpoolNot-for-profit railway.
Philip Feakin, LondonWe need a railway that is run for the benefit of the people not a few multi millionaires.
Joe Stamper, Burton on TrentNationalisation to offer flexibility and protect rail travel at an affordable price for all.
