Belinda Wiggs, SheffieldBring back British Rail.
Colin Sutton, RamsgateThe railways are for the people of the UK, not shareholders.
John McIntosh, ThornhillNothing taken out of public ownership is an improvement. All they are interested in are profits for shareholders. The only losers are the consumers.
Nick Jackson, Harrow WealdEnough of the corrupt Tories ripping us all off. The railway should never have been privatised in the first place. Greedy profiteers..
Mark Parsons, BristolSave the planet. Give us a better public transport system.
Dee Grimes, LewesWe need to own the railways. They were on time, clean and often newly refurbished, and there was cheaper food.
Ted Hammond, DaventryI am totally against train operators’ high pricing, which still doesn’t guarantee a comfortable seat.
Bill Moir, DurhamEnd these ridiculous disparities – its Victorian.
Sam Roberts, LondonMake fares fair again.
Daniel Romberg, NorthamptonThe car is out-dated and a city planning nightmare. The government should encourage people to use sustainable, environmentally-friendly modes of transport like the trains.
Kaeren Daunt-Jones, RochesterAlthough it was by no means perfect as BR, it was a whole lot better than now. Employ real railway people at the top too, not business Muppets who don’t understand.
David Bellamy, MexboroughBring British Rail back I worked under BR and we all worked together for the good of the railway.
Edward Antonyuk, LondonExpensive AF.
Simon Cullen, SudburyIt’s disgusting what the rail system has become. It’s got to a stage where public transport is squeezing the public, for whom the prices are ridiculous for such poor service
Pete Sherwood, WallingtonSomething has to be done about this blatant rip-off.
Adrian Nugent, CrawleyPut public transport back in the hands of the public and make people accountable for the service we are currently paying for.
Charles Brown, KnaresboroughLet’s go back to a joined-up system.
Anthony Hopkins, BristolThe rail service should be a viable alternative to car travel but in reality the public are held to ransom by an extortion racket.
Lewis Denson, BristolEast Coast was a joy to travel on and it made a profit. What a ridiculous thing to have to ask for. nationalisation now.
Dave Harvey, Bishops StortfordI could give more money to charity if it wasn’t for these damn ticket fares.
Peter Underwood, BirminghamStop the rip-off by private rail firms.
Angela Hathaway, StroudRobbed from the people by Conservatives.
Peter Taft, NottinghamOne system. Then we’d know where we stand – where / what / who will deal with things, not running around like headless chickens.
Brian Newbold, OakhamRailways too important to be left to private profit. Bring back British Rail.
Thomas Sutton, DerbyshireI had to get the train down to London the other day and it cost well over £100. Crazy! Why would anybody take the train given a choice?
John Page, HertfordLets at least keep Directly Operated Railways on the East Coast public not privatised.
Diane Edmonds, GrimsbyBritish Rail, as a publicly owned company, offered an efficient, well-run service with the customer at the fore, whereas privatisation puts monetary gain first.
Toby Jenkins, LondonBring back a utility managed as a whole for the whole population.
Rachelle Aitchison, GorebridgeIt’s absolutely disgusting the amount of money we have to pay to travel using a service that is more unreliable than the Scottish weather. Sack Abellio or get it sorted.
Steve Lucas, SurbitonThe East Coast line proves that public ownership works.
