John McGeehan, LondonI’m sick of paying fares to so-called private operators who are actually foreign state-owned companies.
Jocelyn Bailey, OrpingtonSoutheastern – French national railway. They inherently don’t care about UK. Our services have been cut each year, and the wrong stations get fast trains.
Gareth Hodgins, South GlamorganTaxpayers subsidising profits for shareholders? Disgrace!
Gillian Codling, BarnetPublic services should never never be privatised. A re-unified national rail network is the way forward.
James O’Grady, CoventryYou know this makes perfect sense.
James Ritchie, CarnoustieGet back to the good old days with railways who cared.
Ann Milroy, LondonThe present system is confusing and expensive to run.
Michael McDonald, LivingstonWe need all train companies and Network Rail nationalised.
Christopher Butler, ShipleyOur railway network must be brought back into public ownership. The profits from the railway must be invested in improving the service for all.
Iain Logan, LiverpoolStart with the railways, then re-nationalise gas, water and electricity. Hands off the Royal Mail too!
Barry Marshall, SheffieldThe system was miles better under the old public British Rail. The franchise system in my opinion is just a shambles.
Jo Hobson, SheffieldToo expensive on the trains. Bring back British Rail.
John McIntosh, ThornhillNothing taken out of public ownership is an improvement. All they are interested in are profits for shareholders. The only losers are the consumers.
Tracey Tofield, Whitley BayCommon sense and sensibility.
Sue Smith, CullomptonThe railways, water, gas, electricity and every other public service that has been privatised should be brought back.
John Mapplebeck, BamburghI believe in a publicly owned rail network. Railways are the arteries on which our lives depend. We should own them.
Nigel Street, EmsworthSouthern Railway demonstrates exactly why we should bring back British Rail.
David Rice, IpswichA national service should be in place which is run efficiently and fairly, where profit is secondary to customer service.
Ted Goodhew, MaidenheadI was a teacher for 42 years in the public sector. The Conservatives want to privatise education and the NHS, and I think both would be disastrous, just like the railways.
Adam Sardar, OxfordI just cannot stand the sub-standard service of First Great Western any longer, not whilst they’re being subsidised by the taxpayer but being run for profit.
Anthony Martin, ExeterIt’s about time Britain was made Great again. Key infrastructure like railways should be for the public, not for shareholders and profiteers.
Tracey Muir, ChesterFares are unaffordable yet the service is worse than ever. Re-nationalise British Rail.
Dave Taylor, ManchesterRailways are a vital service for the country, and must all be in public ownership.
Brian Hammond, EssexJust see sense and bring it back along with London Transport buses and tubes.
Michael Rowland-Hill, OrpingtonWe now have fewer, older and more expensive trains. Bring back BR.
Kevin Price, JohnstoneMy family worked for BR it was far better.
Colin Bromley, NorthamptonPublic transport has to be affordable by the public. It therefore has to be run by the public.
Zack Kahn, LondonI resent the Conservatives handing over British Rail to their fat cat friends.
John Weeks, RushdenIt wasn’t broke and now BR needs to be re-nationalised.
Patricia Borlenghi, ManningtreePrivatising British Rail was a purely political act and has been disastrous.
