Su Maddock, TorbaySu Maddock is Labour PPC for Torbay. We need more investment in the railways in the Southwest – i.e. an additional line to Plymouth.
Sally LemsfordGood on you.
Michael Clarke, PlymouthEast Coast has performed efficiently and profitably since being temporarily back with us. It’s time for a full re-nationalisation.
Matty Nesbitt, LiverpoolRe-nationalise it all!
Jason Slade, BrightonInvestment and improvement, not profit.
Ernie Mirfin, AshfordGive it back to the public who own it and stop the profits going to shareholders.
Robin Allen, WellingboroughPlease keep the rail network in public, not private, hands.
Ross Wright, KirriemuirIt can’t be any more expensive than it already is.
Mark Harvey, ExeterI hope this campaign makes an impact. Fare prices have become utterly ridiculous.
Jennifer Lynch, LondonThis increase is just too much on the already high prices. It’s pricing young adult commuters out of the market and cuts into already low salaries. It’s just too much.
Will Duckworth, DudleyThe Green Party are fighting to bring the rail network back into public ownership.
Nigel Smith, YorkAll public utilities should be nationalised and most ordinary citizens would agree.
Tom McKeown, BirkenheadWithout the good infrastructure left by BR, the railways would be crippled by now.
Andy Wilkinson, NorwichI am just sick to the teeth of the year-on-year above inflation price hikes. Passengers are being fleeced, pure and simple . Enough is enough.
Jim Dignan, SheffieldPrivatisation produces profits for the privateers and their shareholders at the expense of service users and the community.
Michael Denholm, DunbarIt is obscene that Government revenue support to train operating companies goes directly to shareholder pockets, instead of being invested in the service.
Benjamin Walker, ManchesterPrivatisation of such a valuable service was a catastrophe from the start, so let’s rectify the mistakes of the past.
Sarah Carley, LondonIt should never have been privatised. Over priced, badly managed and most profits go abroad.
Richard Keel, GlasgowThe theft that was their nationalisation continues to rob us daily. This must end.
Reece Churm, LeedsBring back British Rail and create a (North-South) Leeds metro line. Also no to HS2.
Patricia O’Donnell, HarrogateWe need a re-unified national railway which is run for the people. We need to get rid of privatisation.
Benjamin Jude, SouthamptonGiven the fact that there is practically no room for competition on the tracks, a few companies hold a monopoly and are profiteering because of that.
Ian Smith, LeedsThe rail industry needs to be run safely for all and not for profit by the few.
Jay Cannings, LewesThe East Coast line proves that public ownership results in better service than private profit-driven service. Government doesn’t want to hear this though.
Darren Smith, LondonThere is such a thing as society, you silly arse.
Jessica Barfield, YorkIf there is profit to be made, let it be made by and for the masses, not for a few bloated shareholders.
Alison Affleck, StroudThe current service is impossible for elderly or disabled. And for fully able bodied and mind. All British Rail ever did wrong was limp lettuce in the sandwiches.
Karl Roome, LeedsSort it out.
Courtenay TurnerTransport, like healthcare and education, is something all our people require to succeed in life. Privatisation has disadvantaged certain regions for too long now.
JamesWhen it comes to public transport, the green measures the government boasts about are belied when rail companies can increase their fares at will.
