Martin Forster, WashingtonWhat doesn’t work doesn’t work no matter how we might will or wish it too.
Ed Thwaites, TewkesburyBring back Network SouthEast too.
Veronica Taylor, SurbitonWe need to stop taxpayer-funded subsidies going to private company shareholders, and end the complicated, extortionate and unfair fare pricing currently practised.
Antonios Bakouris, BrightonI have been commuting to work to London for 18 years. The train service is getting more expensive and worse to an unacceptable level.
Joseph Pitchford, HarrogateI bought my train ticket for my regular commute. However, I accidentally bought it for the next day and was then tricked into giving my details for a £100 fine.
Rose Nugent, DarlingtonI actually remember British Rail and, although not perfect, it made co-ordinated travel more easy,
Bryan White, DerbyThe worst thing ever to happen to this country closely followed by gas and electricity privatisation
Matthew Dunn, EdinburghI hate ScotRail.
Richard Hosking, West MeltonSome times not enough seats – poor, poor service.
Bee Warren, NottinghamPrivatisation has never improved anything because fragmented systems are like a bunch of unrehearsed musicians playing without a conductor – disharmonious chaos!
Jacqueline Clifford, BramptonI would like to re-nationalise everything which has been privatised, plus the banks.
Andrew Adam, NorwichWe need a fair rail network that is affordable and works.
Adam Preston, ManchesterIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Eddy Hughes, ManchesterWe need to put pressure on the government to Bring back British Rail into public ownership – well overdue.
Angela Carter, Walton-on-ThamesThe railway should not just be for the rich. It has been priced out of the ordinary person’s reach. It should never have been privatised. The only winners are the shareholders.
David Servant, PontefractA national, not-for-profit railway network, properly funded is the only way forward. The current system is unaccountable and a joke.
Nigel BaldwinBring back the Lion and Wheel symbol and its proper name – British Railways.
Jim Hamilton, Rowley RegisThe only part that has been privatised is the profit.
David Kent, PrescotThe British railway system should be in public hands. Most of what was closed by Beeching should be re-opened, as people live in those isolated places now with poor public transport.
Neville Hymus, LiverpoolWe need more control of the costings and fares.
Russell Alexander, ManchesterI cannot believe that the current rail service is still allowed to operate such a substandard service. I travel to work on TransPennine and Northern Rail.
Graham Finch, RyeThe Tories thought nationalised rail didn’t work. The French thought it did and bought into our railways. Re-nationalise British Rail so we all can profit.
Derek Richardson, South QueensferryI agree with Jeremy Corbyn. British Rail.
Mike Alexander, SheernessThis would be a great first step in regard to putting this nation back together.
Pete Turner, PershoreThis is a no-brainer. A completely unified and integrated rail service is the only practical way forward. All else is madness.
Arran Stratton, GlasgowIt can be the only solution not to see the profits line the pockets of huge corporations. It’s embarrassing at the moment.
Dale Barnard, GlasgowWhy on earth did we ever privatise the rail network? We have the only private network in Europe and it’s the worst run. Stop emulating America. BBBR!
Alexia Johnson, SouthendFairer working times. Working a 13 day stint on a roster is not good for productivity.
Dan Marston, NottinghamThis summer we travelled by rail right across Germany with two bicycles. We paid 26 euros each and we bought the tickets the same morning on the platform.
Andrew Bromley-Waugh, KentPrivatising the railways has been the biggest con job by the conservative party. It was always about profiteering for a selective clientele, and not serving the public.
