Sharon Borthwick, LondonOur rail, our gas, our electricity, our commons, our streets in the hands of profiteers. I hope they shall soon perish.
Daniel Collins, BrentwoodIt’s time to stop the train operating companies running the rail network into the ground.
Chris Hogg, Melton MowbrayI’m a signaller for 35 years. Re-nationalise to prevent the madness of hundreds of companies working against each other.
Toby Saunders, FarnboroughMy train fare is too expensive, the service is terrible and I rarely get a seat.
Andy Fiore, WivenhoeWe need to get back public ownership of BR, with company bonuses back to the users.
William Quinn, LiverpoolWe need the return of all things that were great about Britain, of which this is just one.
Fiona Potter, BillericayUnification is the only logical and efficient way to bring mass rapid passenger transit into the 21st century.
Brian Ardill, CullomptonBritish Rail should never have been privatised.
Patrick Fenlon, ChesterThey neglected repairs to make massive profits and then put the prices up. Most people stopped using them because of the price. Lower prices get more customers.
Andrew Shefford, GillinghamDisgusting filthy overpriced overcrowded, totally unreliable, like Hell incarnated as public transport.
Alex Baxter, HarwichImprove the connections of the trains and make them run on time.
Kenneth O’Connell, FalmouthI love the railways, so please return it to the people out of the hands of the profiteers.
Simon Templar, LondonStop privatising and franchising everything. Transport should be for the people, not shareholders.
Alistair Ewing, LondonThis could spur the economy’s growth with super fast trains.
Maggie Lewis, Waltham-on-the-WoldsI understand what you mean but I dislike the British Rail tag. Let’s aim a little higher than that.
Carole Williamson, DurhamEssentials like travel and public services and utilities should be run by us, for us.
Gordon Leach, PortsladeHaving experienced the shambles of Southern and the marginally better Arriva Trains Wales services it is high time they were done away with and re-nationalised.
Emma Anderson, OtterburnI believe that the railways would serve the country better if publicly-owned.
Niall Garner, WithamInability to run a rail franchise. Lack of investment.
James WoodmanPrivatisation, fragmentation, subcontracting, internal markets, franchising, managers, managers, managers, jobs for the boys… Rip-off Britain!
Charles Honderick, LondonI am appalled by the sky-rocketing price of travel, the most expensive in all of Europe. It’s disgusting.
Ellie Gibbs, KnaresboroughGive us back our National Rail.
Jacqui Lovell, Stockton-on-TeesI completely agree with this campaign. We should never have privatised what was originally a public service, as European companies are profiting instead of us.
Jeff Zie, DorkingI’m sick of seeing profiteering from our infrastructure.
Sally Brown, LeedsI’ve finally reached the end of my tether with trains recently. I’ve always used them because they were greener, cheaper and pleasant. Not any more. Just too expensive.
Sascha Humphrey, DeptfordThe rail system is the backbone of any country. We need a rail system that serves our country, not exploits it!
Robert Coleman, LiverpoolLet’s do it now.
Stuart Jones, LincolnEast Coast has worked fine under public ownership recently. Why change it?
Luke SmithBetween some places in the UK it is cheaper to board a flight than catch a train. This is wrong.
Hazel Mitchell, BedfordIt is an injustice that funds go into shareholders’ pockets instead of being ploughed back into the industry.
