Jon Perks, ChichesterPoor choices by Whitehall (which maybe doesn’t care), poor regulation (by design?), uncompetitive choices for passengers, inefficient infrastructure manager. BBBR.
Ellen Blakemore, BrightonThe railways in the UK need to be brought into the 21st century. We need paperless, at cost, reliable travel, not the confusing, expensive and inefficiency we now have.
James Newby, HerefordBring Back BR. They were a brilliant company managing the railway network.
Matthew Tyrer-Garner, LiverpoolBR Blue is my favourite livery, along with NSE.
Michael Riches, WymondhamReturn the rail network to public ownership, not shareholders.
Marc Ackland, SheernessIt’s wrong that a private company should own a national service and profit out of chaos.
Sheila Amies-Byron, PaigntonWe need to have British Rail returned to public ownership as soon as possible.
AngusRailways should be run for the benefit of the passengers and not the operators.
William Andrew, HartlepoolUK government – betrayer, liar, murderer.
Fiona Rowe, ManchesterBring back affordable transport and friendly staff. Bring back British Rail.
Stuart Roberts, GodalmingNeed there be a comment? Make rail travel a service again, not a business.
Maureen Raud, TeignmouthThe time has come to tell the Government that we’ve had enough of all this privatisation that doesn’t work for anyone except the fat cats.
Chris Walker, MiddlesbroughIt’s about time something was done to stop this profiteering.
Simon Kempthorne, HastingsPrivatisation has done the opposite of what was intended – to save public expenditure. How many times have franchises been bailed out at taxpayers’ expense?
Ryan Kendall, LancasterThere is no need for competition in railways. People will get whichever train arrives when they are at the station, not which is cheaper.
Clive Miller, Rochester£5000 for an annual high speed season ticket, and I have to stand all the way!
Tim Brewin, HerefordIt seems absolutely ridiculous to me to be in a situation where the track owners, train owners and train operators are all different companies.
Joshua Melville, OxfordEfficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly public infrastructure is not compatible with profit incentive. The rail networks should be owned nationally.
Marie Bowers, DundeeEast Coast trains have greatly improved since they were taken back from the National Express.
Geoffrey Gwaspari, BarnstapleThe time is now. End this madness.
Richard Waugh, HoltWhy did we privatise a profit-making national treasure in the first place? It was utter cronyism, the same as the undervalued Post Office.
Sophia Stravoravdis, WokingBecause I can’t afford to travel for work or to go and see family and friends.
Craig Smith, AmsterdamIt’s clear now that vital national infrastructure is not for the hands of the private market.
John Morgan, FlitwickA very good campaign – all the best with your efforts.
Peter Burns, GatesheadI’ve travelled on GNER, National Express and ECML and the service is better in public hands. Keep it that way.
Elaine Nudd, ChesterfieldOur railways will never be working for the benefit of commuters as long as they are run by private companies for profit.
Robert Gordon, LiverpoolIt’s time we the taxpayers have more say on how our money is spent.
Peter Roberts, EdinburghProfits should be re-invested in the business and not frittered away to shareholders (whilst accepting taxpayer subsidy). Nationalise and improve the service from within.
Yvette De Sylva, LeicesterStop charging inflated prices for rail journeys and profiting from rail travellers.
