Ste Hannon, LiverpoolBring back BR.
Ron Marsden, ManchesterI overheard people in a pub who didn’t know that BR had been privatised, but they knew that it was subsidised and were annoyed by this.
Jennifer Buckley, PeterboroughRe-unite British Rail.
John Watson, BrightonRe-integrate each franchise as it expires, starting with the well-run East Coast line.
Tony Rawlings, WokingWhere’s the competition when I can’t get a National Express train in Surrey?
Margaret Havercroft, HarrogateKeep British Rail ours.
Barbara Gleave, WirralI’m fed up with keeping Branson in luxury and disgusted at his Corbyn accusation.
Jennifer Macrae, SalisburyPrices are too high. The leg room is designed for anyone under 5ft and anything over that causes a lot of pain and discomfort.
Owain Glyndwr, HaverfordwestLike all privatisation, the railways are now in a complete mess. More public subsidies than BR ever saw and the service is diabolical.
Nik Walker, PrestonEnough of the experiment – it has comprehensively failed abysmally. Return the railroads to the customers.
Marika Sherwoood, Oare, near FavershamIn 15 years my rail fare has more than tripled from Faversham to London using a Senior Rail Card and not arriving in London before 10am.
Cecil Sowden, GatesheadKeep up the good work.
Thomas John Wheeler, DyfedRe-nationalise our railways now to stop the above inflation fare rises!
Richard Bell, DerbyThe private sector is responsible for some of the biggest economic health and safety disasters, whilst extorting the British public.
Christopher Lance, LeedsEast Coast mainline provides an excellent service as a publicly owned company. Don’t flog off this franchise to some commercial outfit.
Ian BradshawReliable rail network required.
Thomas McCausland, ManchesterNo more profit-sharing giants.
Alan Stewart, FalkirkThe news that Abellio have failed to plan for the loss of trains on its flagship service is the last straw for me.
Dee Kennedy, PeterheadService has gone downhill continuously and now can’t even be called a service.
Timothy Hodgson, BirkenheadThe railways must be brought back into public ownership.
Aeron Linton, LondonBritish Rail will see a return to regular, affordable, unified travel for all. It needs to be reformed. Privatisation allows companies to exploit passengers.
Sheila Rowhan, LondonPut people before profit.
Annie Niner, LeytonGive it back to the public.
Roy Hollister, DartfordWill Labour bring it in or carry on acting like Tories?
Enid Dalton, County DurhamBring back BR and the age of the train.
Barry Marshall, HebburnThere was absolutely no logic to privatising and fragmenting the railways other than to line the pockets of a privileged few.
Kathleen Webb, GlasgowI worked on the railway for nearly 20 years and it was much better as British Rail than as a private company.
Gavin Monaghan, HelensburghPublic service should mean public ownership and public profit.
Paul Bright, BournemouthBringing back great British Rail would be great for UK business. Privatisation is a disaster. It’s time for our trains to come back.
Beverley Clark, HartlepoolBrilliant initiative to try to Bring back British Rail. Good luck. It’s the best idea I have heard in years.
