Danny LeighI totally agree with the idea of bringing back British Rail. Good luck in your campaign!
Robin Holden, Chipping NortonBetter a public than a private monopoly.
Michael Pruce, LondonStop these private companies ripping us all off with their price rises year in year out. Bring back BR.
Allan J Douglas, ForfarPeople before profits and release the congestion on Britain’s roads.
Dennid Leary, LiverpoolI have believed for many years that British Rail should be brought back. I’m sure a lot of Conservative voters must now agree that it was a big mistake to privatise.
Christopher Lance, LeedsEast Coast mainline provides an excellent service as a publicly owned company. Don’t flog off this franchise to some commercial outfit.
Paul Adkins, FleetRailways are an essential service and should be run as a not-for-profit organisation with prices set by the government.
Jayson GillhamWorld-class train transport please.
Malcolm Judd, RomfordWe pay our fares to get somewhere, not to fill directors’ and shareholders’ pockets. Because of high wages and dividends there is no money for improvement works.
Bill Brade, BroadstairsPower to the passengers.
John Keith, ApplebyWe’re being subject to legalised robbery. HS2 will bring more of the same. Fat profits and a service priced for the rich or on expenses.
Denis Tweedy, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe bitched about the sandwiches at the time but my goodness do we miss a fully integrated affordable system?
David LatimerLike most of Britain’s privatised industries, most of the assets of the railway industry are no longer owned by the people, but by the banks.
Jerry Scales, AylesburyNational assets should not be sold off. We are laughed at by other countries.
Simon McDonagh, LewesOther EU countries have it so much better, so why can’t we?
Lucy Cowan, Berwick-upon-TweedI regularly use East Coast Rail and want it to remain in public ownership.
Roger Clogg, HavantBritish Rail, owned by the British government, for the British people, profits ploughed back. British Rail for the British people.
Philip Hart, YorkJust like the buses, the train system with its numerous operators is too complicated and far too expensive. I remember how well it all used to work as an integrated unit.
Jennifer David, Southend-on-SeaWe’ve just had enough – 10 years too much.
Thomas Sargent, IngoldmellsTo help bring about environmental change and a better rail network.
Kieron McCarron, BathEnergy companies as well. Some things are too important to be left to free markets.
Geoff IngramMy father-in-law was on a train broken down for 4.5hrs. It took him13.5hrs to cross London, after which he was fuming and died of a heart attack.
Johnny Jangles, StainesSort it out.
Brian Braithwaite, BrightonSitting down with my grandad talking about the railways, makes me think of a bygone era. And I want to help bring that back.
Christine Hall, ChristchurchBritish Rail should be brought back as soon as possible. Privatisation has been a disaster. National Rail for people not private profit.
Jacob Tyne, Newton AbbotA public owned railway will help to provide good rail services rather than private profits which is something that needs to change.
Dale Easson, NottinghamI am completely for this. As someone who uses a number of UK rail operators in a single day to get to university, this really affects me.
Tom Mileham, LostwithielI’m sick to death with constantly rising fares, petty fines, cancellations, delays, overcrowded trains, an ever diminishing service from my town and the incompetent FGW staff.
Andrew Tappin, BristolI hate privatisation, especially when it’s on the railways.
Graham Smith, DealTories are just robbing this nation in plain sight of everyone. It’s ridiculous.
