James Mundy, New ElthamGood luck with the campaign.
Jane Hitchin, West KirbyPrivatisation hasn’t worked. Nationalise now.
Daniel Dowsing, BangorI want a public train service I can afford to use.
Colin Thompson, Bury St EdmundsThe carriages need to be cleaner and there should be more of them. Fares should be standardised and the journey and customer experience should be prioritised.
Rafal Drozdowski, ChelmsfordTicket price is a theft. Do something about it.
Stella Beston, LondonGive the services back to the people. Everyone is happier when they are employed by a national rail service, or any other publicly owned service.
Paul Booth, BedfordI’m sick and tired of paying through the nose and having a rubbish service.
Rebecca Michel, ExeterCivilised societies run transport, health, education etc. as services, not opportunities for private profit.
Donald Peddie, SunburyIt’s Britain’s shame and we still subsidise it.
Martin Hollington, ManchesterI’m appalled at privatisation of the railways and have contempt for the outfits running them. The destruction of BR and loss of skills and knowledge is criminal.
Greg Hudson, LondonOur railways are a public service and should not be used to generate profit for private companies and shareholders.
Roy Burton, DundeeRe-nationalise all previously nationalised industries.
Frank Nicholas AdamSince privatisation the costs of paperwork have increased dramatically with so many organisations to deal with to enable anything to get done.
Juliet Wilson, EdinburghWe need affordable, interconnected, environmentally friendly rail services.
Mike Devane, St NeotsAs an ex BR employee and First employee I think the railways should never have been privatised. They cost far less to run when they were BR.
Stefan Puchowski, High WycombeA natural monopoly which can and should be run so much better for everyone.
Elizabeth Burling, LondonThere are some important services which should be just that – not business, e.g. NHS, transport infrastructure. Reverse Tory privatisations.
James Nicolson, LondonInteresting that the route taken back by the state is the profitable one now.
Sam Gutsell, BrightonI travel daily and I think the way that the rail companies operate is a disgrace – constant delays, cancellations and overall incompetence.
John Marsden, LochgilpheadA unified national network run in the interests of passengers can only be better than the current fragmented system run in the interests of private profit and bureaucrats.
Charles Billette, Vlastislav, CzI left my native Britain because of Thatcher’s lunatic policies. Destroying the railway system was just one of these. Here you can travel 60 miles for £9.50 return.
Graham Lamont, EdinburghPrivatisation has failed abysmally. It has been a complete failure. There is a groundswell of opinion in favour of re-nationalising. Now is the time.
Francis Varley, SheffieldI want better public transport, not richer leeches.
Sheriar Hormuzdi, DundeeNationalise the railways and subsidise all public transportation. It’s better for our health, pockets and the environment.
Max Dutton, ManchesterThe nation that gave the world railways deserves far better than this. We need someone caring about the service they provide not someone’s profits. BBBR.
Daren Scott, WorcestershireI’m not convinced the British people ever deserved to have it stolen from them in the first place.
Derek Tingle, SheffieldPrivatisation of our railways led to a big increase in rail fares and large profits for shareholders. The government still put cash into our railways for shareholders profit.
Debby Poole, Stoke-on-TrentThe cost of rail fares now is so expensive I can no longer afford to travel.
Phill Lloyd, HailshamBring back British Rail. Privatisation of the U.K railway network is a proven failure; just ask the fare paying passengers!
Jean Curr, AylesburySelling off our railways to private companies outside the UK is not working. They get richer and we get ripped off. British Rail worked. TfL taking over would work.
