Andrew Rennie, FalkirkPut it back into public control now.
Mary Francis, LeedsEast Coast must remain in public hands – it provides an efficient service – and makes a profit for government. Why change a good thing and put profits into private hands?
Roger Carvell, HitchinThe privatisation of the UK’s railways has been a disaster. We pay more than ever in taxes to support private shareholders.
Gaynor Underhill, WantageYou know it makes sense. We need a national rail service owned by the people.
Brandon Nicholls, ManchesterBritish rail was the best and most reliable railway we ever had in this country. We need our railway back now!
Bob Balfour, LeedsTime to run a railway that’s about the people who use it and not an ideological experiment that has failed. For a British Rail that meets the needs of people the time has come.
Declan Duggan, LutonPublic services should be in public hands.
Andrew NorrieIn the 21st century progressive nations are turning to integrated, nation-wide railways for efficient, transportation. Why should Britain be the odd one out?
Ellen Gibson, SwanseaIt may not have been great in the past but it was a hell of lot better then it is now.
Douglas Neal, WoolerI think that any company which is meant to provide a public utility service should be run by the government with any profits generated going directly back into it.
Teresa Marshall, GatesheadI wish to join the growing number of people who want to make our train service unified.
Susan GassawayWhat about the Post Office and Royal Mail?
Morna Burdon, EdinburghI travel regularly by train as I don’t drive. In the past 20 years it has become a disgusting experience. Drunks (therefore unsafe), filthy toilets, often no seats. It’s hell.
Kim Fergus, WirralIf trains are re-nationalised, I believe fares will be cheaper for ordinary people and public organisations. It would be better for health, environment and personal finance.
Richard Hoffmann, SandbachI want a nationalised rail network.
Tom Lovelock, LondonAs soon as possible.
Malcolm Hunt, LondonBR seems to have run best when it was up for sale and had to prove itself before privatisation. If East Coast can do it, then I’m sure the whole network can too.
Stuart Thomson, GlasgowI actually use the train more in Holland than the UK. It is terrible to think that the Dutch trains are so efficient because they are subsidised by their running UK trains.
Loraine Burgon, WhitstablePlease sort out the toilets and the cleanliness on trains. It isn’t difficult to keep trains functioning and clean. It just means hiring more unemployed people.
Sandra Smith, Oulton BroadGo for it.
Margaret Powell, LondonThey should never have been sold off.
Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne, WorcesterRe-nationalise! BBBR! F**k Virgin, First, Arriva, Stagecoach and the rest!
Marc Woolward, BudePublic service, not profit.
Melbourne Chadwick, SheffieldRailways are for the people, not the Tory millionaire shareholders.
David McintoshWe are all calling for the return of a state-owned rail network.
Cheryl Jones, SheffieldGovernments in other countries recognise the value of public ownership of railways. The Labour Party should make it their policy.
Richard Carpenter, AbergavennyQualified support only as I don’t want the trade unions running the service.
Richard Manders, WorthingMore should travel by rail, but don’t because of high costs, delays and generally poor service. Value the worker, value the passenger.
Steven White, HullGreat Campaign. I fully support its ideals The Tories deliberately ran the railways into the ground through lack of funding in order to convince the public to privatise.
Marcus Bonner, HitchinPublic transport is for the public good, not private profit
