James Mundy, New ElthamGood luck with the campaign.
Eddie Klos, SheffieldHow can a fragmented service serve the needs of the UK? Co-ordination and integration of all public transport services is what is required, not mindless competition
Roger Dickings, PeterboroughLet’s get rid of the fat cats who only want profits instead of service. Let’s start thinking of the people who travel and the staff who work for them.
David Deadman, BelvedereOne railway publicly owned.
Colin Anderson, DunstableThis must be done for the sake of our nation and rail safety.
Linda Urquhart, LoughboroughHow are these money-grabbing and subsidised services better than the old British Rail?
Anthony Webster, Newcastle-upon-TyneNorthern Rail – what a rip off.
Konnie Lloyd, NottinghamThe East Coast line has demonstrated how a well run line can satisfy its customers and put its profits into the Exchequer. What more do you want?
Duncan Baillie, KilmarnockI have never felt that a national railway network should be in the hands of separate companies. The service varies so much between them and there is little co-ordination.
Maxwell Hough, WiganPoliticians like the idea of privatisation because it can generate a lot of money and money is the usually one of the few things that politicians truly understand.
Colette Merkelt, FlitwickKeep services for the people public.
Marina Wilson, PeterboroughBring back British Rail. What more to say?
Andrea Chapman, LondonAn excellent idea. Here’s hoping.
Jean Berry, NottinghamIt’s much better to have the government running the rail system for the good of the country and not shareholders.
Gina Bridgeland, BrighousePrivatisation was a code-word for confiscation of a national asset. I’m not sure I like “nationalisation” – could we substitute “common ownership”?
Denis Howe, LondonPassengers before profits.
Annie Mulholland, Bradford-on-AvonBritish Rail was so much better than what we have now. Bring it back.
Trevor Walden, SouthamptonI did an apprenticeship at Wolverton Works in the days of Dual-Heating. 97 trades. I’m a rail modeller, and steam fan.
Shane Stephenson-King, TorquayMy step-dad used to work for British Rail, but when they changed over to all other companies he got made redundant.
Ian Middlehurst, Sunbury on ThamesCan we have a society in which people matter first please?
Joyce Wood, NorthamptonWe should re-nationalise all our sold-off utilities. No-one asked us for permission.
Sylvia Wilkins, NottinghamPrivatisation does not work, as there is no-one responsible for regulating the service.
Mary-Rose Grasar, Bamber BridgeEuropean railways work better than ours. All are nationalised and cleaner, cheaper, faster.
David Fox, ChesterfieldGet more commercial transport back on the rails and off our roads.
L Frishwasser, BathPublic transportation is just that; delivering a PUBLIC service, not just profits for a few shareholders.
Martyn Dormer, BathThe railway represents a significant national asset which should be treasured, not milked for maximum profit.
David Houghton, Lytham St Anne’sYes, I agree that it should be returned to British Rail.
Jean Wanless, GlasgowRailways should be nationalised, upgraded and provide cheap alternative travel to take as much traffic off the roads as possible.
Jo Turner, LeedsBeeching’s rationalised railway made commercial competition impossible as each route is is a monopoly. The only sane way to operate this is as a nationalised entity.
Beth Moseley, NorwichBring back British Rail.
