Dan Hennessy, MeophamStop subsidising European rail services that are far superior to ours.
Peter Rivet, LancasterWe have to put up with some of the world’s most expensive train fares. Why?
David Kazwini, HitchinPrivatisation has raised the prices to fill private pockets, while we suffer poorer transport links and old carriages!
Esme Zarins, NewburyIt was so much better before privatisation.
Ellie Harrison, GlasgowWe must continue to fight the fight for what’s fair and bring back British Rail!
John Armstrong, CarlisleYou the taxpayer are paying for it so that the fat cats can get their free cream. You might as well own it too.
Steven Bartlett, DissWe need to reclaim all that is rightfully ours.
Steven Fraser, DunbartonshireBring back British Rail!
Margaret Foster, HitchinOther countries manage their transport systems with nationalised, integrated services. Some of them even own some of our railway networks. Surely we could do the same?
Diana Lauder, WakefieldPrivatisation rarely works for the average person. East Coast was doing so well so why did that have to change?
Paul Rathbone, LondonNo-brainer.
Eirin Julie Ingebrigtsvoll, LondonFor the people, not private profit.
Robert Gordon, LiverpoolIt’s time we the taxpayers have more say on how our money is spent.
Tom McGiveron, Lower PeoverThe railways are abysmal. If the railways were run for a good service and not profit more people would use them. And we’d help the environment.
Rob Willis, ShrewsburyYes we need cheap trains.
Brendan Conroy, RuislipLook at the success state ownership has had on the East Coast Main Line after the private company screwed up. We should repeat the exercise nationally.
Carl Hodgetts, CardiffI’m tired of paying extortionate fares in order to prop up shareholders in private companies whilst the services themselves are unbelievably substandard.
Rose Walsh, BristolIt just costs too much.
Simon Stoddart, HastingsBritish Rail had its faults but looks perfect compared to the multi-tier, bits-and-pieces shambles we have today.
Terence Thomson, LlansawelThey should never have been re-privatised. Failure was why it was nationalised in the first place. Every other country in Europe has a great railway system.
Charles Barratt, CastlefordI do believe it is a disgrace that the British railways are segregated and have the unusual rip-off fares.
Louis Thorne, CambridgeIt makes no sense to try to introduce competition into what is a natural monopoly that should be run as a public good.
Jenny Toal, CoalvilleTrain travel in Britain is the embarrassment of Europe and we deserve better service and better value if we are to help to cut car emissions by taking the train.
Roy Banks, FeatherstoneMy trains are currently late, noisy, rickety, too cold, too hot, invisible, cramped, unsafe, overcrowded, dirty, unmanned, smelly, expensive and old.
Jon McCarthyThis is a marvellous and absolutely necessary campaign.
David Callaghan, Kingston-upon-HullRe-nationalise British Rail.
Jesse Mensah, LondonBring back BR along with Network Southeast, Intercity and Regional Railways, and end franchising for the good of the people, not profit.
Enrico van Leeuwen, UtrechtI’m Dutch but it hurts to see what has happened to the great British railways.
Sylvia Webb, SunburyIt feels as if it’s all disintegrated. Make it function properly by joining up the pieces.
Andrew Hinder, WokingPost privatisation, operating companies got four times the funding given to BR. Scandalous.
