Andrew Blakeway, GlasgowThis would help more than 40% of the population on really low incomes to afford travel, also increase the value of British industry and British travel.
Alan Campbell, BalernoRail privatisation has been a disaster except for a few company directors and other major shareholders.
Andrew Eglon, ChristchurchThe government keeps banging on at us to use public transport, car share etc. yet they hike the prices up making it merely impossible for people to use it.
Rick Herco-Thomas, CardiffPublic transport needs to be public, with all profit used to maintain and improve services.
Shirley Corcoran, LiverpoolWe all knew privatisation was a bad idea so admit it and reverse it.
Clifford Alexander, WickfordI’ve had a lot of my family all worked or work for the railway. Unfortunately my father and uncle were made redundant under the Thatcher years.
Brian Shepherd, LeedsJoined-up thinking, not piecemeal profit centres.
Sam Sadjady, LondonThe service, the atmosphere, the filth and, above all, having your pants pulled down every day!
Eileen Dale, YorkPublic transport is a public service and should be run as such, not for profit.
Stuart Lawes, NewportRenationalise the railways. Run them as a public service, not for someone’s profit.
Stewart Dean, BenfleetRailways are the arteries of the country and should be run as a non profit-making organisation with cheaper fares and better investment. Too much money is leaking out.
Bryn Thomas, TruroNormal rail is quite honestly awful. Bringing back British Rail would be great, so yeah, signing this.
David Harrison, WashingtonWe need more space to accommodate cycles
Joanna Eckersley, LondonBring it back.
Barry Footers, SkegnessIt’s a national disgrace that a profit-making line be put into the hands of the City instead of being used to ensure a better service. That’s typical of Cameron.
Robert Morris, UttoxeterAfter travelling to many European countries and using their train systems it is easy to see what we must do to fix our horrendous train service in the U.K.
Jenny Mangin, LondonI have finally given up on trying to travel by train. It’s far too complicated, far too expensive.
Colin Ride, WakefieldI agree with the idea of a not-for-profit company running BR. DOR has successfully run the East Coast mainline bringing in a return for the taxpayer.
Andrew Philp, Budapest, HungaryI live in Hungary where the railways are much better and state-owned.
Kenneth Robertson, GlasgowIt should never have happened in the first place.
Ian Enters, SheffieldCurrently we have the worst privatisation. The loss of British Rail started the robbery from the people to the powerful.
Fran Grubert, ManchesterPrivatising equals stealing. Give us back what is ours.
Phil Miller, ManchesterIt’s impossible to get a seat on the train in the morning to work and they’re overpriced and dirty..
Bob Archer, Barrow-in-FurnessI keep telling Miliband it’s a vote winner, but does he listen?
Mary Johnstone, SurbitonI’m tired of catching overcrowded trains.
Anne Hugh-White, St. AustellBuying the correct tickets for the correct journey is a minefield and I have many other complaints.
Peta Grimshare, CardiffIt just hasn’t worked as efficiently as when British Rail ran all services.
Aubrey Stafford, RetfordPlease keep up the pressure on these stupid politicians.
George Odlum, LondonRail enthusiast from London. Bring back British Rail.
Malcolm Davison, GatesheadWe have a ridiculously fragmented and expensive rail system. It is time it was taken back into public ownership.
