Luis Galindo, BrightonDo not share details with third parties.
Caroline Hutchings, Kingston-upon-ThamesBritain needs an economic, efficient, clean, staffed, train service with plenty of no smoking signs, litter bins, no alcohol signs, no feet on seats signs.
Andrew Blakeway, GlasgowThis would help more than 40% of the population on really low incomes to afford travel, also increase the value of British industry and British travel.
William Hughes, RugbyBR got a quarter of the subsidy of the private companies and did a better job.
Peter Turnbull, Turners HillAs it now costs more taxpayers’ money (in real terms) with privatisation, it will be cheaper to re-nationalise (and much better.)
Kenneth Moore, BradfordIt couldn’t be worse than the present ridiculously complex arrangement and other countries seem to do it well.
Linda Combi, YorkOf the many British institutions gradually being eroded by private ownership, an affordable and integrated rail system benefits us personally and environmentally.
John McCarthy, ManchesterRe-regulate buses as well. Cross-subsidise socially necessary routes instead of funding millionaires.
Neil Sculley, WatfordDo it now.
Alex Wood, LondonRail services are already subsidised by the taxpayer. Let’s cut out the middleman; the one that is making the profit.
John Weeks, RushdenIt wasn’t broke and now BR needs to be re-nationalised.
Rok Strnisa, LondonIf an essential public service isn’t run by government, especially where there can be little or no competition, abuse of position is inevitable.
Susan Welburn, SheffieldIts all about greed when it should be about the public who pay for it all. It should be put back into public control where someone will be answerable to the masses.
Ben Gibbons, BristolReverse everything done by Thatcher.
Helen Flyn, PeterboroughYou knew where you stood with British Rail.
Hannah Rogers, MayfieldTrain tickets are unaffordable and driving is cheaper.
Helena Ferguson, Stamford BridgeI’m still waiting for my refund from Virgin Trains after they cancelled all trains in and out of Kings Cross which meant we were over 3 hours late.
Brian King, GatesheadPlease, no more greed.
John Homer, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe privatisation of British Rail was supposed to benefit the customer. What a laugh. In fact, the new owners are laughing all their way to the bank. Re-nationalise.
Eva Schovneld, EdinburghRe-nationalise now.
Ronald Branton, YorkThis is a very important issue and we must return our railways to public ownership.
Patrick Hulme, AvonI am of the generation that remembers British Rail. It was not perfect, but during the Conservative years it was led by politicians who severely starved it of investment.
Neville HarwoodIt has been a long time coming and at last the politicians are starting to listen to the public. It’s been long overdue in my opinion.
Ian Hayward, BasingstokeHow can you run a railway and claim maximum customer service when you are also giving millions of pounds to shareholders who contribute nothing?
John Walton, Kirkby StephenIf only the amount of money wasted currently had been available to British Rail. We would truly have a world class railway.
William Eldred, PeterboroughIt makes sense.
Dave Wells, SwindonAnd all other public services too.
Janice Hutt, Whitley BayTo work properly, the railway needs to be integrated under British Rail and not be for private profit.
Lesley Burt, ChristchurchWe need a rail network that networks for people who use it (or would use it if it worked properly) – not for profiteers.
Peter Bailey, Melton MowbrayPrivatisation of the railways is for private profit, taxpayers’ subsidies and more road traffic. Stop it now.
