Phil Ellery, Long StrattonThe sell-off of BR was a Tory travesty.
Andrew Clark, Newton AbbotI’m sick and tired of the Great British Rail-fair robbery.
Jessica Barfield, YorkIf there is profit to be made, let it be made by and for the masses, not for a few bloated shareholders.
David NetherwoodWe have such a poor service for the ridiculous price we pay. If something is a national service, it should not be private. It’s as simple as that.
Cliff Roe, WinsfordI’m sick of watching city spivs using the rail system as a method of making easy money off our backs.
Christian Decle, LondonThe sooner, the better.
Nicholas Stewart, ClydebankI’m tired of paying a fortune for 20 minute journeys in trains packed like sardine cans. The railways need government investment.
Em Law, HastingsAmber Rudd is trying to kill our local rail route to implement another even more corrupt, private, expensive disservice in order to kill our town.
Charles Howarth, AltrinchamThe notion of privatisation as a beneficial process is ridiculous. The removal of BR has left a fragmented system where shareholder profit is put before public good.
Jane Wallace, NorwichEveryone realises privatisation was a mistake. They just need to nudge back to British Rail.
Jessica Oliver, Bognor RegisPrices are disgusting nowadays, even with my Railcard. Southern Rail are selfish and don’t care about their customers.
Robert Bapty, LeedsPrivatisation isn’t working. It’s costing us far more now than it did before for a worse service.
Trevor Neat, KenilworthProfits for the people.
Shaun Rogan, EnfieldPublic transport, publicly owned.
William Hughes, RugbyBR got a quarter of the subsidy of the private companies and did a better job.
Kevin Spice, MaidstoneWe should be supporting our rail network not other ones in Europe.
Steve Andrews, LincolnPrivatisation was a terrible failure for commuters and a great win for greedy investors.
David Sterratt, EdinburghBR cost taxpayers about a third of what the privatised railway does now and was cheaper for passengers too. Nationalise franchises when they expire for greater efficiency.
Roy Whittles, HuddersfieldWhy should we pay subsidies to these companies in order that they can make a profit?
Ali Joy, LeedsPrivatisation has given us a disjointed service that only benefits shareholders. If anyone can make the railways pay, so can the government.
Kerry Pickett, BrightonFor the people.
Adrian Uden, LondonThe current service is terrible at best and getting progressively worse. The only conclusion can be that sufficient investment is not being made. EU outperforms UK.
Natasha Thomas, HaverfordwestI don’t use the train very often but when I do, travelling from West Wales is calamitous at best. Re-nationalisation is a total no-brainer.
Phillip Quarry, GloucesterFor the good of the planet, for the good for us. Transport is a necessity, and not for private profit.
Nicholas Ghost, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe urgently need to bring back a nationalised network to run our railways. We need to cut the private companies and their greed-orientated objectives.
Martin Davison, ChesterfieldRe-nationalising our railways is the most cost-effective and operationally efficient thing to do. Private monopolies only work for the shareholders – not the customers.
Sonia Gray-Clough, HarrogateThe ownership of the railways should never have been separated. The railway experts said it would not work and it doesn’t.
Lisa Potter, NuneatonFair prices from a fair company. Bring back British Rail.
G Hanham, Berwick-upon TweedI am old enough to know how good our rail network was when it was a public service and a critical part of our infrastructure. It’s about time we returned to that ethos.
Saneet Bhella, LeedsI pay for a cheaper train even though it stops at a further station than the place I need to go to. Logic.
