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.
Steven Howe, ChesterJust do it.
Philip Michaelson, LondonI belong to a walking group of retired people whose organiser suffers because of the disorganisation of the various companies running rail transport in the South-East
Guy Woodcock, SheffieldPublic transport is a public service, not a commodity or luxury. Let East Coast Rail be an example to the government.
Jim Hutchinson, GatesheadThe sooner the better.
Peter Taggart, WorthingThe constant disregard for passengers is disgusting. Trains miss stops leaving passengers waiting just to arrive on time. And there’s no fines.
George Ashley, SheffieldThe rail companies just attempted to shaft me by increasing their price in the middle of a transaction and their pricing structure is arbitrary.
Brenda Smith, LondonI’m fed up with having to get a train 30 minutes earlier than I should have to just to get to work on time.
Luke Hamilton, FavershamVote Jeremy Corbyn and let’s make it happen.
Martyn Thirlway, LondonThis is something I have been saying for a long time. The government should be responsible for transport, hospitals and schools. I wish this action the very best.
Graham Sharman, PeterboroughBritish Rail was using no subsidy when privatised. Now we have a company with a massive subsidy.
Helena Richards, EdinburghSomething as important as our transport infrastructure shouldn’t be left to profit-making companies to run. The state should be in control and take any resulting profits.
Allan Robinson, SussexWe need a railway that’s a source of pride not profit.
Marc Sutton, DerbyPrivatisation has been a disaster for the taxpayer and rail passengers. It’s a costly and inefficient mistake that needs rectifying.
Natasha Yee-KingThis should never have been privatised and, compared to other European countries, rail services in the UK are inefficient and overpriced.
Ed Willey, WarePrivatisation pushes up fares and reduces services, hitting the worst-off and the young hardest. For many the railways are their connection to their livelihoods.
Lewis Greco, HorshamBring back British Rail and stop wasting state money.
David Smallwood, YorkWe, the taxpayers, pay far more in subsidies to the railways than ever under BR, even allowing for indexing. Subsidies used to fatten the wallets of TOC shareholders is crazy.
John Ward, BirminghamThese railway companies are rubbish. Definitely bring back British Rail.
Derek McCarthy, InvernessShould never have been sold off by the robbing Tories.
Zack Kahn, LondonPrivatisation was and still is a publicly funded rip-off, to defraud the public of money, the very taxes we all pay. Shame on you Con-Dems!
David Burn, YorkOf course we should bring back British Rail. It’s common sense.
Tobias Abse, LondonThe railways are getting worse and worse under private ownership.
Robin Sunderland, HarrogateGreat idea.
Vincent Baines, PontefractA nationalised rail network is the only solution.
Ian France, SheffieldOur railways are in chaos: expensive tickets seldom guarantee a seat; overcrowded, underinvested and in need of intensive care.
Jack Smith, TotnesI want British Rail back.
Andrew Watson, BuryAs a West Coast line user I have seen rise after rise and I only get a seat on one in four of my journeys.
Ashley Rawcliffe, HuddersfieldFor the people not the fat cat’s.
Siobhan Anker, ManchesterBring it back. You know it make sense.
