Jon Hassall, CreweI started on the RTS back in 1989, then was a guard and was made a driver in 1996. BR days were so much better than today’s railways.
Oliver Otway, SudburyRe-nationalise the power companies while you are at it, so they can’t blackmail you with power cut threats.
Sarah Snell, WalsallBring this vital service back under our control and learn from the East Coast main line.
Sam Hayes, ManchesterWith so much direct and indirect subsidy, the idea that the railway isn’t already nationally funded is laughable. Let’s take charge if we’re going to pay for it anyway.
Andrew Walker, YorkKeep East Coast mainline nationalised – it’s the best railway in the country.

Dave Blackwell, Holmer GreenLiving in Texas USA at the moment, but looking forward to coming back to a re-nationalised system.
Phil Nicholson, NottinghamIt would get rid of the chaos of having several different train companies charging different amounts for the same journeys.
Ann Jarvis, DevizesThe sooner our rail network, or fragmented network, is re-nationalised the better.
Steven Bartlett, DissWe need to reclaim all that is rightfully ours.
David Chaney, Newcastle-upon-TyneA disastrous privatisation that should be overturned a.s.a.p.
Andrew Drasar, StainesRe-nationalise the railways ASAP. They should never have been privatised.
David Morling, LondonJust look at the current East Coast Line.
Kate Rowland, TywynAll service companies should never have been privatised.
John Collin, GillinghamLet’s have a rail system that is fair and transparent to those who work on it and those who use it.
Rhys Williams, ManchesterOne unified entity for the railways, in public hands, for the people of the UK, saving the taxpayer huge amounts of money. Look at East Coast. Enough said.
Richard James, BrightonI had to leave a job in London because the service is so horrendous. The railways need to be re-nationalised.
Dave Oldfield, BrightonThey should never have been privatised.
