Douglas Howard, LondonService for the customer not the shareholder.
Simon Gee, CoventryEnough is enough. Rail users first.
John Yonker, LondonRe-nationalise the railways. They never should have been privatised in the first place.
Annette Lillig, EdinburghRailways should be run for people, not for profit.
Lee Rigby, WidnesRe-nationalise the railways.
David Briggs, Westcliff-on-SeaNowadays I don’t even bother looking for a seat going to and from Paddington as there are never any. It is so not worth £50+ to be sat in a doorway for two hours.
David Bradford, GatesheadLet’s end this 20 years of transport exploitation and disjointed thinking.
Ian Henden, FarehamA national asset, which is for every citizen’s benefit, should belong to the nation, aiming to break even.
Jon Rust, HolmfirthThe UK needs a public unified rail service for public transport.
Sophie Bramley, WinchesterWith the climate crisis reaching breaking point, cheaper public transport just makes sense.
Barbara Brogan, LetchworthPrivatisation may be cheaper short tern, but if the railways were publicly-owned any future profits would benefit the country not shareholders.
Shanthie Wild, BristolI wish I could afford to use the trains more.
Richard Harcombe, NorthwichI love travelling by train for both ease of use and environmental reasons, but I feel bringing back BR will mean fares are less confusing and cheaper.
Michael Griffiths, ManchesterPrivatisation is just an out-and-out rip-off.
Neil Brand, LondonThis must happen.
Nick Avins, LeekYes, I fully support the return of BR and turning away from the great corporate mess we now have on our railways.
Lewis Evans, Stanford-le-HopeWe need BR back.
Michael Schouten, BrightonCut fares not staff.
John Sandford, HolmfirthDecrepit, unreliable, ancient, uncomfortable, inadequate seating, poor service, unaccountable to their customers, a disgrace.
Margaret Kearns, Ashton-under-LyneIf we don’t stick together the fat cats will get fatter. Act now.
Darren Filkins, LondonThese days it is cheaper for me to travel by car than by train. This is just wrong. The train should be the transport of the people, helping us all get on with our lives.
William Andrew, HartlepoolUK government – betrayer, liar, murderer.
Richard Marchese Robinson, LiverpoolNot a panacea, but widely supported and surely better than the current mess.
Euan Stewart, GlasgowI’m all for public ownership, but strongly against union or political influence.
Nigel Powis, CoventryMake rail travel affordable to the masses.
Josh Rose, ElyJoined-up rail, owned by the people, paid for by the people, used by the people. You know it makes sense.
Nicholas Hughes, PlymouthI used to love travelling by rail. Now it’s an awful experience. But why is this not the case in the rest of Europe? One word – Privatisation.
Sean Harvey, Leighton BuzzardI’m fed up paying high ticket prices and often having to stand, fed up travelling on crowded trains, fed up with over-complicated ticket pricing and booking .
Rory Douglas, KendalI want to be able to take pride in our rail network.
Aj Cross, LondonOnly a unified service can provide what we need. The current state of the railways is madness. More use of freight trains can free up our roads and cut costs too.
