Mark Beeby, NorwichThis isn’t competition, it’s theft. I’m a life long Tory voter, but if Labour fix the utilities they’ll have my vote come the next election.
Sean Jackson, WindsorRailways for the people, not profit for the elite.
Barry O’Toole, LiverpoolPrivate sector vultures have destroyed the railways. We will take them back by force if necessary.
Sulaiman Durrai, LondonIt is impossible to create real competition along railway lines. Instead you hand a natural monopoly to a private provider who then extorts the public.
Carolyn Mayfield, OkehamptonWe need proper services, proper pricing which is comprehensible and trains that are affordable and usable. I would use a train to commute to work if I could.
Nigel Jones, LutonPlease bring back British Rail and ensure it is properly funded and not run-down to make it appear it is poorly managed and losing money.
Syafiq Asyraf, KedahPlease show some love and respect to this beautiful word “railway”.
Jonathan Kershaw, SalisburyPrivate companies’ primary duty is to their shareholders, not passengers. People (workers) and service should come first, not profit.
Jayne Fowler, AshfordThe Labour Party have got to back this and make it happen.
Eugenia Frisoli, LondonBring back British Rail instead of this current appalling excuse for a rail system which is more about private profit than service.
Gill Page, BedalePrivatisation has been an expensive disaster. Re-nationalise.
Jill Monks, SouthportIt’s a ridiculously fragmented system which needs re-unifying. We live on such a relatively tiny island, it shouldn’t be difficult to create a joined up system.
Simon Brandon, LondonI see no reason why fares should rise under privatisation.
Rob Turnbull, HexhamPlease re-open the lines that were closed in Northumberland by Beeching.
Joginder SinghImagine what sort of railway we could have had if British Rail had been given half the money trousered by the privatised rail fat cats!
Samuel Lerman-HahnIt’s called public transport for a reason. Public transport trumps private enterprise and profit.
Ola Adebisi, LondonRe-nationalise the railways. Enough is enough with the rip-off.
Oliver Hickmet, LondonEnough is Enough. Stop robbing people and making their lives a misery. All everyone wants is to be able to get to their job at an affordable cost.
Mary Salisbury, VentnorThe railways should belong to the people of the UK, not corporates.
Joseph Murray, BrightonRailways for the people not private profit.
Dane Wotton, HoveI’m sick of being made late for work, dirty, uncomfortable trains and vastly overpriced fares that take a large and unfair chunk of my wages every month.
Andrew Thomas, CreweLet’s put the “British” back into our rail network, not fat Euro-cats having the profits and being paid to run our services
Marion Matthewman, Berwick-upon-TweedAnything to improve things.
Rosalind Collier, BristolI grew up with British Rail and was not happy when it was sold off.
Mark Wilson, MalvernRailway should be the cheapest way to travel. What happened?
Geoff Beer, AshfordWe need an integrated transport system based on need not profit, with workers’ control and passengers not customers.
David Ritman, UckfieldA service not fit for purpose. Cancelled trains at the drop of a hat.
Hugh Davies, AberdareThey should never have been sold off.
Gareth Haydock, BoltonRe-nationalising British Rail is the only remedy for poor accountability, bad standards onboard trains and constantly rising costs. Public ownership would improve these.
Alistair Ewing, LondonThis could spur the economy’s growth with super fast trains.
