Georgios Siminas, ManchesterPrivatisation has allowed behemoths of companies to immorally inflate rail prices and has left us with no alternative but to empty our wallets in order to travel.
Bonnie Webber, EdinburghTrain is greener than flying. Let’s promote train travel and energy savings by making this commitment as a nation.
Luis Galan Gomez, West MidlandsIn general, the best train services in Europe are given by public companies.
Gary Mitchell, BournemouthFor vital utilities de-nationalisation simply doesn’t make sense.
Neil Pritchard, St. HelensNorthern Rail are the pits. For goodness’ sake, give our railways back to the people of Britain.
Matthew Burgess, NorwichWhy allow companies to make profit from a national service? They should have always been left in the public domain.
Davis Wilkie, EdinburghWe the people would very much like to see the railways re-nationalised. More focus on good service and profit being put into improvements rather than shareholders’ pockets
Jackie Stevens, CoventryIt just makes sense.
Mark Wilson, MalvernRailway should be the cheapest way to travel. What happened?
Simon Anthony, LondonPublic services should be run for public service not private profit.
Robert Green, Thames DittonRe-unifying the fragmented, inefficient rail system is the obvious place to start; then on to all the other wasteful privatised utilities.
Hector Price, LondonIt is necessary.
Lynda Bowen, TealbyI’m deeply saddened that East Coast has disappeared – such a regressive step.
Clare Stemp, LeedsThe only way to give commuters better service and better value fares is to re-nationalise the UK’s railway. BBBR.
Richard PalmerService before profit.
James Howells, LondonIt’s the worst railway service in the World and a system that exists solely to rip off commuters. The end of this botched system can’t come soon enough.
Walternisio Francisco, Rio De JaneiroI wish British Rail will be revived by 2023.
Ben Thornton, BristolCapitalism serves the elite.
Colin Bryan, NewportNational Rail would be far better than what we have now.
Mia Carr, GlasgowPrivatisation has caused all costs across the board to rise beyond affordable.
Ian Halsall, BathI wouldn’t go back to the old British Rail, but East Coast demonstrates how a not-for-profit company can still deliver good service and value for taxpayers.
Denny Evans, FlintAs a frequent rail traveller, I find the services in this country dreadful. The North Wakes Coast trains are being run in an unsafe and dangerous manner with no care.
Pip Tindall, BrightonRailways should be run for public need not private greed, and for all of us to make use of.
Chloe Somers, BristolRailways are for passengers not ‘customers’ – bring back British Rail and re-democratise our public transport system.
Darrell Hart, CroydonTrains are for the rich only now. They’ve priced me into car journeys only as it’s cheaper.
Joseph Till, LondonThere would be less of a north/south divide if people could afford to visit other areas in the UK. It will benefit all communities across the nation.
Louise Tippett, Walton-on-ThamesIt is crucial for a fairer society and to make the public infrastructure work better.
Simon Jones, BromleyWe need a joined-up train service run in the public interest, owned by the public.
Max Parkes, BristolThe never ending rise of transport costs within the country has never made sense to me. No one will travel here if they can fly abroad for cheaper.
Neil Friend, AldershotAll major utilities should not be run for the benefit of shareholders.
