Rob Cross, ShrewsburyLet’s re-nationalise all these privately-run utilities so the shareholders receiving the dividends are the real shareholders, i.e. the general public.
Caroline Pickering, NorthallertonThe success of the East Coast Line clearly demonstrates how much better the railways are in public ownership.
Ron Lofkin, GatesheadEnough of the price hikes, let’s get working together on a publicly-owned service for the benefit of the nation.
David Fox, ChesterfieldGet more commercial transport back on the rails and off our roads.
Mark Priest, OldburyTransport systems should not be owned by greedy private companies who have no interest in providing a service, only making money.
Lauretta Pearson, HinckleyThere are others we need to bring back too, but his would be a big move in the right direction.
Nicholas Flynn, CroydonPublic monies will be required in the event of railway company failure, so it’s best to assume public ownership now.
Rob Jell, SwindonIt’s high time that all services like these were returned to public control, giving a greater buying power, ensuring a much better service and price for customers.
Nick Ingram, NewhavenOur railways are a national disgrace. Put them back in the hands of British Rail and make the government responsible for running it.
Roy Robertson, DennyPublic service should be the watchword and not just making money. East Coast trains should be the re-nationalisation model.
Douglas Arnold, WashingtonEast Coast is making money and they want to sell it off. It may finish up in foreign hands with our money going abroad, We need a joined-up railway system.
Helen Kara, UttoxeterLet’s make British Rail the great asset it could be for our country, rather than the current hotchpotch of incompetence.
Colin Gray, InvernessOur rail network is being sucked dry by the fat cats and their shareholders. Until the network is running at its full potential no dividends should be paid to anyone.
Trevor Preston, RyePeople cannot see that the Tories privatised the railways/gas/electricity/water so the profits go to the shareholders. Still they vote them in. They are stupid.
Micheal McClelland, LondonI’ve never felt safe on the railways since privatisation.
Robert Hastings, PerthIt should never have been sold off. East Coast shows how it can be run for the benefit of all.
Peter Harris, SouthamptonRail transport is a national asset. Treat it like one.
Stuart Leslie, GravesendPeople and their jobs before profit.
Adam Shelley, Tunbridge WellsRail companies have under-invested for far too long.
Tina Szafran, ThirskIt used to be a public company. Now it’s just a national disgrace.
Sophia Hale-Sutton, EdinburghThe East Coast line seems to be running much better now it’s government run. Public transport should serve the public, not shareholders.
Garreth Maguire, PrestatynWe need railways that are owned by the state and public passengers and freight. They should never have got rid of British Rail and we want it back.
Issa Norton, WellingboroughWe need a more efficient, cost-effective service, and bringing back British Rail could do it.
Susan Power, BrightonAlso, please bring back the T-shirt. It’s a good way of generating comment and raising awareness. Thanks.
Benjamin Harper, Stoke-on-TrentI’m sick of being charged extortionate prices by rip-off merchants who monopolise the rail way.
Suzy Adderley, LondonRe-nationalise the railways, rebuild the infrastructure and also bring back flowerbeds on stations and tidy tracks.
Nicholas Bennett, SouthamptonIt’s time to end privatised Britain and return to the ideology and practicalities that once made this country great.
Ben NichollsWe commuters have had enough of private train companies running a monopoly and putting cash before customers.
Alicia Hudson, CreweI am not legally allowed to drive. A journey that would be 40 minutes by car, takes me more than two hours by train.
Rob Hopkins, Totnes, Devon.Wonderful to see this happening. Bring back British Rail (although with better time-keeping and better sandwiches.) All power to this campaign.
