Hector, CheshirePrivatisation has created a railway that in every conceivable way is truly an abomination.
Norman NoyWhen I looked into journeys I would like to make by train, I found it was far too expensive and extremely complicated so I just went by road instead.
Matt Malone, FlitwickYou know it makes sense.
Bernard Carney, LeedsNetwork Rail manager pay is just sickening.
Michael Thompson, High PeakIt’s scandalous that the government wants to sell off Network Rail. We absolutely must keep it in public hands.
Charlotte O’Neill, LondonBritish rail services are getting more expensive and worse and we are being taken for a ride (no pun intended) It must stop.
Jason Clements, HarrogatePrivatisation has not shown itself to be good value for money and the different franchises don’t provide a ‘joined-up’ service.
Karen Maloney, MaidstoneBring back British Rail. It belongs to us, the public.
William McGiven, DerbyA service paid for by us and we also get to vote for the government to manage our rail service.
Nicholas Harding, ChippenhamWe must bring back British Rail. It makes sense and is the way forward.
Catherine Hallam, RotherhamReturn to taxpayers on the East Coast line proves a publicly-owned rail network is the best for all and not just the few.
Jean Welsh, BradfordState-owned railways and utilities. Profit for the people.
Theodora Ford, ColchesterTransport is a vital service. It cannot be left in the hands of a disjointed collection of private concerns who’s first priority is to make a profit at our expense.
Daniel Musgrove, CardiffI am tired of paying a fortune for a train that doesn’t have enough carriages to allow passengers a seat, that’s often late, causing it to terminate at an early station.
Andrew Moore, EnfieldMajor infrastructure components such as all of the rail network should be nationally owned and operated.
Marc Carless, St AlbansWhile I never lived in the age of British Rail, it was in a better state than our current railways. Bring back NSE, Bring back provincial, bring back British Rail.
Colin Carr, WalmerWe need to have the best rail system ever. Under British Rail we will get that.
Margaret McGowan, EdinburghIt seems that the demise of East Coast has allowed the very rich companies who ran them to be let off from paying their massive debts – I.e. taxpayers money.
Colin FlowerdayI will be glad when the British Railways board is running all our railways again and Cameron gets six lace holes up his arse!
Elliot Ellison, BristolI’d happily pay more tax for a smoother, cheaper, nicer, national railway system.
Cassy Firth, LeedsIt’s a no-brainer! Power to the people, not profits to the fat cats.
Karl Groom, BracknellI would like profits currently paid to shareholders put back into our services and not have them sold off in the fist place.
Russ Hore, PattinghamI have watched rail travel get worse and worse over the last forty years. It needs sorting out.
Jennie C-Knight, CromerPrivatisation drives up prices and encourages companies to make too much money out of a public service.
David Bradley, HoveAs soon as possible.
Gerlinde Rambausek, FromeI’d love to have a unified, publicly-owned railway.
Chris Sullivan, DartfordTrains are delayed every day and we are just supposed to accept it. At work I get 10 minutes to not be classed as late but a train has to be 30 minutes late for a refund.
Glynn Huggins, SevenoaksNow is the time to move forward and build on the past investments to create a real rail network, not a patchwork of unconnected ‘for profit’ companies.
Carl Dodd, BirkenheadPrivatisation of the rail networks does not work – I travelled to and from London from Liverpool or Carlisle for a while. Profiteering on infrastructure is damaging.
Sasha Farooqi, LondonPlease bring back British Rail – we need it now more than ever and upgrade it to faster rail like the Toronto Transit Trains built by Bombardier. – https://www.metrolinx.co
